Are you getting ready for the holidays? I am. From past years, it gets so busy in my household around this time of year, so it is never too early to start my holiday sewing. This year I decided to sew velvet, a fabric I had not sewn for many years but I think it is luxurious. As luck would have it, FM’s poly rich black velvet flashed on my computer screen and I bought lots. I thought it would be pretty for a one-shoulder gown, which I had never worn before but admired on others. The following week FM’s multi-colored one showed up. It was a poly embossed Bohemian print velvet with jade, yellowish, and crimson colors; it screamed fall and family get-togethers. I just had to have it! When the fabrics arrived, the deep colors did not disappoint. I chose Butterick B6557 for both dresses, View B for the knee-length printed dress and View C for the maxi dress. It was perfect for velvets; the front was one whole piece and so was the back. I cut the fabrics with the nap going down
