The Florence Blouse

The Florence Blouse from SIZE:me has a loose fit with raglan sleeves but it’s all about those shirred cuffs. The instructions are simple, effective and there’s also a YouTube tutorial...they may as well come round and sew it for you!

Autumn in London

Seasons of East launched their first collection earlier this year. The aptly named Autumn in London is a flattering and versatile maxi dress. Layer with long sleeves, tights and a chunky cardigan or scarf and you are ready for chilly autumn days.

Neige Sweatshirt

Top 5 Indie Patterns

This design from Deer and Doe is all about empowerment - whether that is the power to create, the power to express or the power to prioritise comfort. Even if you opt for a more neutral fabric, the pieced statement sleeves will ensure your project still packs a punch.

Dulcie Pinafore

As the first pattern within the JLH Curve range to include the new extended sizing and six cups from A-F, The Dulcie Pinafore by Jennifer Lauren Handmade is a friend to every stitcher. What’s more, thanks to its classic buttons, square neckline and the princess seams shaping its bodice, this garment is the ultimate option for upping your Zoom-call-couture.

Wildwood Wrap Dress

Offering a detached obi-inspired belt, a beautiful shawl collar, generous front pockets, plus waist and shoulder pleats, the Wildwood Wrap Dress from Sew House Seven really does have it all! You even have the luxury of choosing between a hem that falls just below the knee or a longer midi-length.
