The Deconstructed Jacket Sewing Pattern
is coming next
(in the meantime I'm blogging about knitting)
I'm looking forward to sewing this combination for autumn.
*If you make up 801 in winter fabrics, lower the armhole a little to allow for wearing over a shirt - Add a lining just by duplicating the main pieces - I will be adding this option to the pattern. I will also be working on a sew along soon.
Casual trousers - easy to wear - very easy to make.
A vest style top that can be laundered often. Like a t-shirt but smarter! An easy to make garment that suits many fabrics. Perfect at the moment in linen for our exceptionally hot summer.
This is the second time I have made up this pattern. Making it up in denim with classic jeans style top-stitching added to construction time. Well worth the effort though. I take you through every step with this sew along.
This is a fast version for those who like everything in one video. Visit the Sew Along Page for a more relaxed version with more chat and guidance.
This jacket will set you up for autumn. Try it in linen or a lightweight wool. Follow the Sew Along.
Make it up in cotton or linen. It works well in lightweight denim and woollens for all year round comfort wear. Try it in cotton jersey too.
A more relaxed version of 'Making Jeans' has been requested by you time and time again. Here it is.
Made up this time in Bubble Wash Corduroy from Croft Mill Fabrics. An absolute delight to sew with and so comfortable to wear!
Another great all year round sewing pattern. I have made this pattern up in a medium weight denim to start with. How can you beat denim for trying things out? It's cheap and so very wearable. I say to myself, no more denim but it's more popular than ever in the fashion press. What do I reach for first thing in the morning? Continue ......
At last I have got around to the Sew Along for my Selvedge Jeans pattern. This tutorial is relevant for all jeans sewing. I cover every step in less that 45 minutes.
See my Jeans Pattern Page for the Super Fast video and for the Selvedge Jeans pattern downloads.
I have been designing since the 70s and producing digital patterns for over 20 years. I hope fashion designers and students will find this useful.
This is a site for experienced sewers and also for beginners. You will find a full selection of sewing patterns. I design the sort of garments we should all have in our wardrobes. This site is not about fashion, it is about style. I hope I can help you create your own style through my classic designs.
