Take the A-Line

Sew News, September 2000

Marry quality stretch knit fabrics—a modern wardrobe staple—with clean silhouettes to capitalize on their stretch, recovery and drape. Try Christine Jonson Patterns #519 (sizes XS-XL), a shawl collar swing jacket, and #330 (sizes 4-22) a slim shirt with self-faced darted waistband and back slit. Her trademark Cotton/LYCRA creates a dramatic drape in the jacket and smooth fit in the body-hugging skirt, while her new Rayon/LYCRA blend adds a hint of shimmer to #917 (sizes XS-XL), a loose-fitting tee offering three hem and two sleeve lengths, plus a turtleneck option.
