YOUR FAVOURITE SIMPLE SEWING PATTERNS

Are you a relatively new maker and looking for a bit of inspiration? Or are you looking for a simple project to whip up in a few hours? Well we’ve got you covered, I’ve been looking at the most sewn patterns out there and picked out some simple makes for you guys to get your teeth stuck into. As usual with these types of blog posts I’ve got a little carried away and I’ve split them into sections. I don’t know about you but I love seeing what patterns are popular with other people so there is the run down…

Tops:

There are some fantastic patterns in this section, I’ve tried to include some wardrobe basics alongside some patterns with interesting details. Make sure you go have a look at these and there are loads of reviews so you can see them out in the wild.

Bottoms:

I think the indie designers have served us so fantastically with simple items to put on our bottom halves. Whether you are looking for a simple skirt or trousers then there are so many fantastic options. Most of these patterns have elasticated waists making the fitting on these much easier.
