Meet Leah, the pattern you’ll make and wear on repeat. Love clean lines and an understated style? Sew an everyday shift top or minimalist mini dress to throw on and go. Fancy more whimsy? Add the gathered skirt to make a pretty peplum top or floaty tiered midi dress, with optional playful side ties. 

  • Choice of shift top, shift dress, peplum top, or tiered midi dress 
  • Semi-fitted, slightly A-line, sleeveless bodice with bust darts 
  • Optional side ties on the peplum top and tiered dress versions 
  • Bias binding finish on the neckline and armholes

SKILL LEVEL - For Confident Beginners

SIZE RANGE - UK 6-34 / US 2-30 / EUR 34-62 / AUS 6-34

Testimonials

Thank you so much for my necklace and earrings. My sons were quite bemused that a vendor knew me by name and your personal touch made us all feel good. So much nicer than the faceless Amazon or even the posh mens clothing stores that I frequented (virtually) over Christmas.

I love the necklace and earrings - you were right they do match and I will share your site with friends

Myself and my daughter came in to choose a pattern to get us back into sewing again. Lizzy was so helpful, talking us through all of the patterns she has and what fabrics would suit the pattern and our skill level. We are so exicited to get started and thats thanks to Lizzy's patience and help in the shop. We can't wait to come on one of your workshops.
