Puff and Pencil Square Dress & Puff Sleeves

The Square Dress features a square neckline and princess seams at the bust for a beautifully shaped bodice. A wide smocked panel at the back provides a snug fit and makes the dress easy to put on and take off. The full skirt is mid-calf length. The dress can be made with or without voluminous puff sleeves.

Puff and Pencil Skirty Pants

The 90s skirt-meets trousers is back! Do you remember those 2-in-1 trousers? Well, now you can sew a pair! The Skirty Pants feature an elastic waistband designed to also accommodate an optional skirt attachment, creating the appearance of a skirt worn over the pants. The pants are fitted at the waist and gently flare out at the ankles.

Puff and Pencil Palma Dress & Tee Sleeve

The Palma Dress features a square neckline and princess seams at the bust for a beautifully shaped bodice. A wide smocked panel at the back provides a snug fit and makes the dress easy to put on and take off. The skirt is slim and is divided in the front, creating a slit that opens when walking. The dress can be made with or without tee sleeves.

Spaghetti Western Ornella Top

The latest designer to join the Fold Line family has a new release to share! The Ornella Top is inspired by lowbrow tourist T-shirts, hot fries, cold drinks, open-air dance floors with disco balls, and ketchup stains that add a little je ne sais quoi to the outfit.Ornella is a cropped tank featuring a high neck, scooped armscye, and bralette-shaped cutout. It's a lot of fun!

Petits D'om Nocturne Onesie

A contender for Halloween costumes! 🎃 Nocturne can be sewn in panda, penguin, frog or plain versions. If you are sewing the plain version, you could also choose an animal print fabric to sew a leopard, zebra or dalmatian! Nocturne is a hooded onesie pyjama with a front zipper and optional pockets. The sleeves and legs are finished with ribbing or jersey bands.

Little Rosy Cheeks Ace Baseball Shirt

Ace is inspired by the classic baseball shirt. Designed for stretch fabric, it features a comfortable drop shoulder, short sleeves, and a gently curved hem for a relaxed, easy to wear fit. 

Little Rosy Cheeks Cadal Pyjamas

We saw this brand new pattern at the Knit + Stitch show last week, so can attest to just how perfect they are. Cadal is the Scots and Irish Gaelic word for sleep. Designed for children aged 3 - 14, this pattern is ideal for gift giving or spoiling the little ones in your life with fun PJs. They are comfy, and as you get a few options to make, are great value too!

I hope you enjoyed that edit of new arrivals. I'll see you next week for another update!
