THE EDIT: NEW SEWING PATTERN RELEASES - 18 MAY

It’s time for your weekly dose of The Edit: New Sewing Pattern Releases. This blog and vlog highlight some of the new arrivals to hit the shop this week. Kate natters about all the details you need to know so if you’re a pattern nerd like we are, this is for you!

What's in store for you in this week's Edit? We're sharing a pattern book that will elevate your interiors, a cult classic that has now got its own mini-me and a super set that boosts your summer wardrobe with just one purchase. Grab a cuppa, get comfy, pop on the Edit, and we will do the rest.

Merchant & Mills HOUSE Book

Make your space retreat-ready with the book of Merchant & Mills homeware patterns. There are seven sewing patterns inside, including three different cushions, a bolster cover, a relaxed blind, a duvet cover set and a bed/sofa topper.

Jenerates Silicone Hemmer

We thought we'd give this delivery a shout out, as we have been out of stock for a while! Thanks to being made from silicone, the hemmer is heat resistant to 230°C, and is flexible enough to use with a sleeve ham, but firm enough to use with a bouncy wool coating. Plus it doesn't distort with steam. You can even use it under the edge of fabric when ironing on fusible interfacing; the glue won't stick to the silicone. It has so many handy features, like the combination of a straight side and gentle curve, holes to pin through and two corner options as well to help with pressing curves.

Chalk and Notch Hayes Dress and Two-Piece Set

If versatility, both in sewing and styling options, is at the forefront of your mind when choosing sewing patterns, this might become a summer favourite. This set gives you a woven dress or a two-piece set in trendy maxi length. The notched neckline is oh-so elegant.

Wardrobe by Me Boatneck Top

Every modern wardrobe needs a Breton top, and the Boatneck Top pattern embodies the essence of French maritime style. This straight cut tee has just the right amount of relaxed ease. It features a boat neckline with inside binding, and the set-in sleeves can be cut long or 3/4 length for that classic sailor sweater look. It's a must make.

Maison Fauve Pétula Dress and Blouse

With its playful A-line silhouette shaped by subtle darts, and V-neckline at the front and back, Pétula is bursting with charm. The standout detail? Gently gathered shoulder panels add a soft, elegant drape to contrast with the clean lines of the design.

True Bias Children's Mini Marlo Sweater

The popular Marlo Sweater just got a mini iteration, so 2-10-year-olds can enjoy their own version of this cult classic. The Mini Marlo is a unisex, oversized sweater with a dropped shoulder, deep V-neck, wide bands, and large buttons with a choice of two lengths. Your little customer can choose the fabric of their dreams, so it will become their favourite cardigan!

Petis D'om Huanchaco Swim Shorts

You'll be set for summer getaways with these swim shorts! Designed for ages 2 - 16, Huanchaco features a faux fly, flat front waistband with a drawstring and optional lace-up tabs, and elasticated back waistband. The outer edges are rounded at the hem and edged in bias binding which runs up the sides and you have a choice of two lengths.

Primrose Dawn Faiza Wireless Bra

Designed with support and comfort in mind, Faiza features vertical seamed cups that showcase the beauty of stretch lace, with two neckline options for high or lower coverage.

Lou Orth Designs Gemburst Quilt

Gemburst is a scrap friendly repeat block quilt. Bust a whole rainbow of scraps, or go monochrome with a single colour focus. Either way this quilt is great for using up what you already have!

I hope that's satisfied your newness curiosity for another week. See you next time, team!
