This easy to use pattern includes Tilly and the Buttons' award-winning beginner friendly instructions. The step by step colour photo guide makes sewing your own unique clothes both easy and enjoyable. 

A great pattern for adding a few home made items to your wardrobe! Choose your sleeve style, the dress or top options, whether to have a tie and why not add a contrasting binding for a fashionable edge? This modern twist on the classic Breton top and t-shirt dress has comfortable loose fit which can easily be adapted for summer or winter wear.

Designed for knit fabrics, we recommend our range of printed cotton jerseys - whip it up on either a regular sewing machine or an overlocker if you have one.
