Tilly & The Buttons Sewing Pattern - Zadie Dress

£16.50

Create yourself a gorgeous handmade dress with the help of popular pattern designer, Tilly & The Buttons.

This fun Zadie dress is one of the best selling Tilly patterns and is ideal for beginners. Why are these patterns so great? Not only do you get the pattern, but also full-colour step-by-step instructions with photographs, so you don't have to be a great pattern reader to be able to make a modern and stylish dress. 

Designed for stretch knit fabrics, you can sew it on a regular sewing machine with a zigzag stitch. A medium-weight knit fabric without too much stretch, such as ponte roma, double knit, interlock or jersey would be perfect for this pattern. Check the fabric can be stretched crosswise at least 20% wider than its original width, and that it pings back down to size after stretching.
