Sew Over It Sylvia Robe

Buy the Sylvia Robe sewing pattern from Sew Over It. The Sylvia Robe is the perfect piece for layering in style. With its 1920s elegance, the long version exudes Gatsby glamour, while the shorter version makes a perfect pairing with skinny jeans and a simple tee, taking an everyday look from blah to bewitching. Ideal for summer holidays, Sylvia also makes a beautiful beach cover-up or fabulous festival attire (go wild with the pompom trim!). 

This pattern is ideal for having fun with fabrics - think big modern florals in bright colours, bold monochrome geometrics or dainty prints. Whatever you choose, you can really make a statement with Sylvia.

Note: Use the Sylvia Robe Dressing Gown Add-on (sold separately) to transform the longer version of Sylvia into a great dressing gown with a tie belt, belt loops and patch pockets.
