Our patterns are here!
They’re here! After many months of testing, tweaking and refining, we’re thrilled to be able to present our first patterns!
The Mortmain is the sort of dress we love to wear! It’s simple day dress, with a fitted bodice and waistband, box pleated skirt and exposed zip to the back. There are two sleeve variations; sleeveless and 3/4 length with a cuff and button fastening.
This is aimed at ambitious beginners and techniques include sewing darts and box pleats, setting in sleeves and inserting an exposed zip. All steps are explained in detail with lots of diagrams to help you. The simplicity of the design means that the dress is a great wardrobe staple. It can be made in plainer fabrics for chic everyday wear, can be colour-blocked, or lends itself really well to an outrageous print.
The Tallis is a really simple one-size collar which can be worn with The Mortmain or over any item from your wardrobe. We wanted a great beginner’s project that is a quick and easy sew but that has the potential for embellishment so that you can get creative. You can add bows, studs, piping, jewels and trims to your heart’s desire!
With all our printed patterns, you’ll receive a quality tissue pattern, beautifully bound instruction booklet which lays flat while you sew, all packaged in a bespoke illustrated envelope which is sturdy and re-closeable so you can use it again and again!
We hope you love our patterns. We really want to see what you create with them, so email or tweet us any pictures you have of your makes. We’re hard at work on our next pattern, so keep in touch with us via our newsletter for updates.
