The free pattern for the Ruby Slip is now available - yay! I have uploaded it to Google Docs and Scribd, so you can decide which is more convenient for you. Don't forget to download the instructions too, where you'll find the sizing and yields, cutting and sewing instructions.

I designed the pattern sheet with the pieces overlapping "Burdastyle style". I'm not sure if this was a great idea or not - it does mean less printing and sticking of pages together, and preserves the grade nest for further use, but it also means having to trace your size off.....do let me know what you think!
I also forgot completely about the strap on the pattern sheet so I've given you a rectangular measurement to cut to - you might want to be aware of that if you want to whizz ahead and cut it out this weekend without reading the instructions!
Here's the sew-along button - you can copy and paste it to the sidebar of your blog, and then link it to my new Sew-Along page (tab at the top) where I will assemble all the sew-along posts in one place for your convenience.
(By the way if you have a RTW Tailoring Sew Along link and want to keep it, you might want to change that to the Sew-Along page too as I thought it would be easier to combine them together - the RTW Tailoring one will disappear soon.)
So get out the tape and start printing and sticking this weekend, as the Ruby Slip Sew-Along starts on Monday - you can start sewing along any time of course!
Cheers
Sherry
Thank you! I can't wait to try this after Christmas. I'd love to start Monday but unfortunately this time of year is far too busy.
ReplyDeleteAnother thank you. I have downloaded the pattern and hopefully can get taping tonight. Now I have an excuse to go fabric shopping tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry. I've downloaded the pattern and can't wait to start.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, exactly the pattern I needed to have. And your version looks so beautiful! I don´t think, I can make it before christmas, but I will start right away after christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot.
Ooooh - so doing this! :)
ReplyDeleteAdded the link to my blog :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I won't be using lace but I can't wait to start sewing this.
ReplyDeleteYay! I probably can't get to this before Christmas, but I will SO be reading along. My insane-Christmas-brain is trying to convince me that ALL my female relatives need one of these, but it's Not. Going. To. Happen. This year.
ReplyDeleteNext year, all bets are off.
As to the pattern nesting---personally, for print-off patterns I prefer non-nested. My main reason for tracing is to preserve the original, but for a printable pattern the original is the PDF; I feel no compunction about hacking and slashing my printed versions. Unless there's a reason to use a tissue (traced out) pattern with delicate fabrics rather than a paper-weight pattern?
Sherry, this is so pretty! I love slips (and hate 1/2 slips), and often buy them from wintersilks.com because they rarely have them in stores anymore. I may have to give a try & make one...someday.
ReplyDeleteMonday? Well, I'm going to attempt to squeeze this in during the sew-along, but no promises. :) I think I already have all the materials necessary in my stash, so extra shopping won't be an issue.
ReplyDeletePretty pretty pretty!!!! Thank you for taking the time and effort to share with us your creation. I've printed and taped the pattern. I won't start till probably after Christmas, but I'll be checking all the posts.
ReplyDeleteYay! So pleased to have a chance to try this lovely pattern. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, this is great!! Now I need to go restock my lace supply!
ReplyDeleteYay! I think I'm going to jump in too! I'm in need of some slips for under some shirt dresses I'm planning to make. This is gorgeous! xoxo, Sunni
ReplyDeleteFantastic!! I'm in the midst of some pattern drafting work and some complicated fitting on a vintage kimono sleeved dress so happy to do something more relaxed and more important, with your fantastic help.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this beautiful pattern! I prefer to print fewer pages and I don't mind tracing - so thank you for making this a "nested" pattern.
ReplyDeleteAnother Sew-Along! I learned a lot from your first, so I'll do my best to follow along here. Things are hectic, so no promises that I'll keep up with the sewing, but I'll definitely keep up with the reading and get to the sewing as best that I can.
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny because I was *just* searching for slip patterns to buy online because I really wanted to make one. This is perfect and the sew along is going to be so helpful. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteThis looks way fun! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have some silk that would be so pretty made up in this! Thanks! I know it will be after the holidays before I can even think I could do this!
ReplyDeleteI love this slip. I'll be trying it thought I'll be attempting to adjust it from a B cup to a DDD cup. We'll see how that works out for me.
ReplyDeletePlan to share this link with my readers.
ReplyDeletePlan to make one after x-mas!
Sherry, this is gorgeous and I'm dying to make one. Definitely the other side of Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI think the slip you have posted is just beautiful. I really want to make one. I think I have enough fabric in my stash to get started right away. I forgot to congratulate you on your two years of blogging! Your blog is so inspiring and I've learned many useful sewing tips this past year. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSo cool thanks! I won't be able to join you next week as I am moving. But I hope to make it next year. I will read you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry - your slip looks beautiful. Is it possible to download the pattern on a larger sheet format - so that it can be printed off at the copy shop? Sorry to be a pain, I just thought it might be easier than taping lots of sheets together.
ReplyDeleteI have just found your site. Is the information on the tailored jacket going to disappear or just the link?
ReplyDeleteThe nested pattern is good for me - the less printer ink used, the better in my mind:) tracing off the extra pieces doesnt take long, and can be done with any spare paper lying around - I often use old newspapers or greaseproof paper(baking parchment)I'm all for the less waste approach!
ReplyDeleteHandmade - I'll think about doing that next time!
ReplyDeleteGreatNana - The link will change to the Sew-Along tab
Cuada Design - I've used newspapers in the past too - they're a good size!
so pretty! i love the colour, it is my favorit.
ReplyDeletei think, i will sew this slip!

Well I am very late to this party, I was sent here from a review someone wrote of this pattern on patternreview.com. I love how this looks, and the review was really positive, I'm going to try it soon myself :)
