Fans of the Harlene Dungarees are about to add something new to their sewing list… meet the Merchant & Mills Margo Pinafore. This uber-cool pinafore dress is giving me Toast vibes.

If there is one must-have piece to add to your wardrobe this season, a denim maxi skirt is it. The Maker’s Atelier Maxi Skirt features a deep kick pleat at the back and an optional kick pleat at the front. Wear it with a sweater for casual daily wear, a blouse for dinner dates or a sparky top for parties!
Fancy sewing a simple jacket that looks different depending on your chosen fabric? The I AM Gaston Jacket has six versions – with a shirt collar or with a simple round neckline, with large patch pockets, welt pockets or without pockets – you can pick your favourite details. Sew this jersey jacket in medium-weight knit fabrics: sweatshirt, quilted jersey, faux-fur jersey. Suitable for confident beginners and beyond, it’s a winner!
A classic trench is a must for a timeless wardrobe, and French brand, I AM Patterns latest offering has all the details you could hope for.

You might want to queue this project with another new arrival as it looks GREAT worn with a denim maxi skirt.
