Before you start check you can easily sew through 5 layers of your chosen fabric.

Fabric requirements: Our lay-plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.

Construction techniques: Welt pocket, french seam side pockets, collar with neck facing, full sleeve, elasticated waistband, mock fell seams, topstitching details and optional zip fastening.

Suitable fabrics: When choosing your fabric for the Jesse Jumpsuit you need to consider a few things. It should be very comfortable and breathable to wear as it covers your whole body (not itchy or scratchy). It’s a nice idea to choose natural fibres to allow your body to breath and the shape of this pattern benefits from having a fabric that is soft and supple with a bit of drape.

Suitable fabrics include light/medium denim, light/medium twill, light weight canvas, needlecord, wool suiting, linen (beware as linen will crease heavily).

Fabric requirements: Our lay-plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.

Darcy Coat PDF Pattern

£15.00

The Darcy Coat is an elegant and comfortable coat that is designed for throwing over any outfit. Whether you're wearing chunky winter layers or a simple summer outfit, the Darcy Coat will drape over the top and work with your body not against it.

You can create winter or summer versions which can be lined or unlined (you will receive instructions for both options). You can also choose between welt pockets or patch pockets depending on your skill level and your intended style for the piece. This is the probably the most complex make in our range but it is well worth the effort.

Sizing: Sizes 4 - 28 (with PDF Layers)

Skill level: Intermediate / advanced sewers (there are design options for first time coat makers and also experienced sewers)

You can search instagram for customer makes with the hashtag #msdarcycoat

The Darcy Coat is very oversized and roomy with plenty of room for thick layers to be worn underneath. Due to the amount of volume it’s best to size down if you’re in-between sizes.

Cara Top PDF Pattern

£12.50

Click here for the online workshop option (suitable for beginners).

The Cara Top is a simple summer blouse that's flexible enough to wear in a wafty muslin at the beach or in a smarter silk as part of a wedding two-piece. It comes with 2 length options, shorter to sit right on the hip or a little longer to hit the top of the thigh.

It is a simple piece to make which means it’s a great project for beginners, however this doesn’t mean we cut corners on the construction quality. You’ll be using french seam construction and you’ll have the option of a double fold hem or a flat binding to finish the hem and armholes.

Sizing: Sizes 4 - 28 (with PDF Layers)

Skill level: Suitable for beginners and early makers. If you're a total beginner we recommend following our online workshop to start your sewing journey.

You can search instagram for customer makes with the hashtag #mscaratop

Getting your fit right for the Cara Top is relatively simple. The main measurement you need to check is the bust, making sure you choose a size that has a bit of room for movement.
