We are closing out March with an unmissable Edit. There are so many designs to get excited about, from the must-make statement collar blouse to a pattern inspired by a vintage Ossie Clark design, to an everyday dress that combines woven and knit fabrics in a very pleasing way.⁠ Grab a cuppa and enjoy your new sewing pattern update!

Matchy Matchy Playdate Blouse

Featuring two key trends this season: a statement collar and peplum ruffle, this pattern is a must-make. The design is relaxed fitting and features a gently shaped waist paired with a ruffle hem that's slightly cropped in the front and dips lower in the back. This swishy detail adds movement and charm without feeling fussy. The sleeves hit just below the elbow and are finished with a soft puff for an easy, feminine shape.

Fabric Godmother Lisi Dress and Blouse

We made a beeline for the Lisi samples at the Stitch Festival show, and they did not disappoint. Inspired by a vintage Ossie Clark treasure discovered in Paris, the Lisi Dress and Blouse pattern is pure playful romance. Light, floaty, and just a little bit frivolous, Lisi is designed to swish, flutter, and charm from every angle. Depending on the fabric you choose, Lisi works just as well for special occasions as it does everyday wear.

Little Rosy Cheeks Maize Dress

We eyed up the samples of this pattern at the Stitch Festival, and I can attest that this elevated everyday dress is not to be overlooked. Designed with comfort and versatility in mind, Maize pairs a knit bodice with a woven skirt, creating a dress that feels as good as it looks and offers endless fabric mixing possibilities. I had a very similar ready-to-wear dress years ago and wore it to death, so I am certain it will be a useful item for your wardrobe.

In the Folds Mornington Skirt

 The Mornington Skirt is a fresh take on the lantern silhouette: architectural yet wearable, with an intriguing play of panel lines and volume. This asymmetrical design is constructed from a series of thoughtfully shaped panels. From waist to hip, the fit is clean and gently contoured thanks to the panel seams. Use contrast topstitching to really show off the style lines.

Puff and Pencil Drop Top

The Drop Top features a body-hugging waist with ruched side seams that create a fitted silhouette. The bust falls in a soft, elegant drape, balanced by a wide neckline and armholes. An invisible side seam zip provides a sleek finishing touch.

JULIANA MARTEJEVS Ruffle Scrunchie

This type of scrunchie is very popular at the moment, and is the perfect project for anybody starting on their sewing journey. This pattern is quick to sew and perfect for making handmade gifts as well as expanding your accessory collection. It's also great for using up fabric scraps, making it a sustainable and budget-friendly sewing project.

Itch to Stitch Markina Dress

The Markina Dress strikes the perfect balance between polished and effortless. With its clean lines, tailored details, and comfortable knit construction, you'll look put together without sacrificing ease. It's a great style for a more formal, daytime occasion that doesn't require an eveningwear dress code. The pattern also includes cup sizes for a great fit.

Birgitta Helmersson ZW Frill Sleeve Top

This oversized zero-waste top has three size options suitable for different fabric widths. It has gathered sleeves, side splits, and a boat neck with an internal binding finish. The sleeve length changes depending on the fabric width and the garment size you choose. 

Wardrobe by Me Silke Blouse

Silke is a versatile woven blouse with a relaxed A-line silhouette and wide sleeves. Choose between a classic round neckline and an elegant boat neckline, and between elbow-length and 7/8-length sleeves. Silke has facings at the neckline, sleeves, and hem for a polished finish. 

I hope that's left you brimming with inspiration! Enjoy browsing the newest sewing pattern releases.
