– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop (We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these. The PDF files will be emailed immediately after purchase, and the A0 pattern sheets will be dispatched next working day). What is Copy Shop?

What we think: These are not only chic, they are actually a pretty simple make. Helen has great instructions to guide you every step of the way. They’ve been made by so many people in the sewing community and all have raved about them. Go for it!

Suggested fabrics: Light to medium weight woven fabrics with plenty of drape, such as rayon challis, viscose poplin, crepe de chine, lightweight linen, and Tencel twill. Views A and B work well with both fluid and slightly structured fabrics. For the longer lengths (Views C and D), a lighter weight fabric with plenty of drape is strongly recommended.
