WHAT'S THE PATTERN ABOUT?
A sewing pattern to make a midi sundress that celebrates your favourite quilting cotton collections. Designed for makers who love to combine prints, the Patch & Bloom Dress uses up to four coordinating fabrics for maximum impact.
With no zips, it’s easy to sew and easy to wear. The lined bodice ties at the back in a bow or knot, allowing for an adjustable fit. A gentle drawstring gathers the back waist, while patch pockets are cleverly set into the skirt panels for style and practicality.
The skirt has generous volume and a swishy feel, thanks to thoughtful shaping and a deep, lined hem that gives quilting cottons a beautiful drape. A joy to sew – even more fun to wear.
