Practice how to read and create from a commercial pattern?
Need to understand pattern tracing to your size, cutting your own fabric, pattern jargon, markings and terms? Implement zips, darts, facing, collars, sleeves and ease!
Our new weekend is the perfect step into dressmaking and working with commercial patterns while helping you to create an amazing dress, with fit and style. The pattern is the classic New Look 6145 - Misses' knee length shift dress which has many style variations in one pattern. Make your own perfect option for winter or summer.
This pattern is available in sizes 8 to 18 and Rosemary has graded up to a 22 and some fitting assistance can be given within the size range. We suggest this modern classic is best made in a medium weight woven fabric such as light corduroy, denim, cotton sateen or linen.
