Catriona Pattern Collection - Top, Blouse, Short Dress, and Long Dress Sewing Pattern (Premium Paper)
Description:
Catriona means pure in old Scottish Gaelic, and it is Scotland's pure natural beauty, with its picturesque rivers and forests, its breathtaking cliffs and castles, that inspired us to create the Catriona collection. We have designed it to make you feel beautiful and delicate on the outside, and strong and powerful on the inside.
The clean, square necklines and puff sleeves are influenced by the dresses and corsets that were worn in those Scottish castles during the Middle Ages. The simple construction assures that the pieces are easy to bring to life, even if this is your very first garment.
The top is easy to match with your favorite jeans or summer skirt, and the puffed sleeves on the blouse and short dress add a touch of romance. The long dress is a perfect addition to your summer wardrobe, offering a simple yet unique look even without any accessories.

What type of linen do you suggest for Catriona Pattern Collection ? Thanks love the patters, have not tried sewing yet. Also, how do you arrange a 1:1 consult? Thanks Cheryl
F|S Team
Hello We recommend our IL019 and 1C64 medium weight linens as well as the IL020 lightweight linen. To arrange a 1:1 consult, simply email us with your question and I will help out. If needed we can schedule a call as well.
I'm wondering why your new "simple" patterns aren't being shown on more than one size model?
F|S Team
Hello and thanks for your feedback. I'll let the pattern team know you would prefer to see more photos on different shapes and sizes.
I made the Catriona dress in Blue Bell WhiteMlt faille and it was a breeze to sew. It's really comfortable and I'm definitely going to make more. The dress drapes nicely over the body and keeps you cool. I didn't have enough fabric for short sleeves, so I improvised and created petal sleeves using the existing pattern.

I like your sleeves much better than the sleeves shown on the pattern.
This is the sleeve detail. I remade the sleeve using the existing pattern for reference. This allowed me to make two-piece sleeves from what was left of the fabric
Catriona Short Dress IL019 Turquoise SF
Catriona Blouse made in breezy IL020 Gouache. Modified to length of the sleeves1.5 so they didn't hit right at the elbow and shortened the bodice length by 2 to sit closer to the waist.
Catriona Blouse made in IL019 mid weight linen - Mist no modifications made as pattern instructions.
Modified FS Premium Catriona Blouse pattern using 1C64 Bleached. I had 1C64 Bleached in my stash- it's perfect! I cut out the front as 2 pieces with 2 inches added to each piece for the button placket. I also cut 2 inch wide pieces for the facing. I lengthened the sleeves 3 inches this time for a bracelet length sleeve and kept the length shortened 2 inches. In the pictures I am also wearing pants in the Sara FS free pattern (pleats converted to darts) in 4C22 Prestige.
