Pattern Description:
Invigorate your casual wardrobe with the breezy Paloma. The Paloma is as comfortable as your most-loved t-shirt, but adds a shapely, elegant flair.

The instructions provide a tutorial for sewing with knits using a conventional sewing machine. Detailed tips on sewing with knits are available at SewLiberated.com/sewing-with-knits. Finally, we offer complete kits with the fabric and Steam-a-Seam for making this pattern at SewLiberated.com/kits.
