The Edit: Trans-Seasonal Sewing

Happy Sunday Foldliners! Is anyone else feeling a seasonal shift in the air? I must admit, I am well and truly ready to sink my teeth into sewing autumnal garments. We’ve been having a think about what to sew right now for this in-between-the-seasons weather. If you want to indulge in a spot trans-seasonal sewing, our pattern short list might inspire your next make.

We are offering a whopping 15% off all the patterns featured on the 4-5th September with the code: SUMMERSOUT (expires at midnight on the 5th). From the 6-10th September, you can get 10% off all the patterns with the code: AUTUMNISHERE (expires at midnight on the 10th). We hope this might help kick start your autumn sewing. Check out our video where Kate talks through all of our pattern picks in more detail and you can find links below!

Woman wearing the Cuff Dress sewing pattern from The Assembly Line on The Fold Line. A dress pattern made in cotton, silk, lawn, linen, crepe de chine or wool crepe fabrics, featuring a mid-length finish, relaxed fit, round neck with keyhole opening in the back, side pockets, elastic waist and cap sleeves with elasticated cuffs.

Women wearing the Belemnite Dress sewing pattern from Marilla Walker on The Fold Line. A dress pattern made in linen, cotton shirting or cotton double gauze fabrics, featuring a relaxed fit, fit and flare silhouette, long gathered sleeves, lantern shaped skirt, self-fabric ties at the waist, back zip closure and a V-neckline.

There’s nothing better than an autumn-friendly dress that can easily be styled with tights and light layers if the day is a little cooler, and worn with bare legs and no jacket when the sun decides to shine! Here are four of our faves:

  1. Merchant and Mills Etta Dress
  2. The Assembly Line Cuff Dress
  3. Sew Liberated Hinterland Dress
  4. Marilla Walker Belemnite Dress
