With Summer in London and Vintage Fabric
Aptly named ‘Summer in London’, this vintage inspired sewing pattern from Seasons of East is perfect for Summer. From a picnic on the park to a long lazy dinner by the sea. Sisters Carol and Barbara have designed a classic dress, with a fitted bodice with a gathered skirt. Team up with a cardigan or denim jacket for cooler days and evenings. Between 2.5 and 3 metres are required depending on the width. I’m offering 15% off vintage fabric when bought with the Summer in London dress pattern. More details below…
Princess seams are used to give a lovely fitted shape to the bodice which is fully lined, whilst gathering provides fullness to the elegant midi length skirt. Fastened at the back with a concealed zip and with the option of making the rouleaux straps adjustable. There are plenty of techniques for sewists to sink their teeth into. Suitable for intermediate sewists who have mastered a number of sewing techniques.
