Tilly & The Buttons Sewing Pattern - Rosa Top/Dress

£15.50

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

Rosa has a flattering semi-fitted shape thanks to gently curved princess seams on both front and back. One of the best features is the pointed back yoke, which looks stunning highlighted with decorative topstitching or piping.

You'll learn to construct a two-piece collar and stand, with a separate button stand facing so you can make a feature out of contrast fabric. The three-quarter length roll-up sleeves are held up with narrow button tabs. It's finished with mock felled seams, a gently curved dipped hem, and optional pointed pockets.

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. 

Use medium- and light-weight woven fabrics, such as cotton lawn, chambray, lighter weight denim, fine needlecord, double gauze, linen blends, viscose (rayon), shirting cotton.
