Perfect for beginners, with no zips, buttonholes or tricky hardware, the Denton Dungarees are a wardrobe staple that's easy to sew and customise. The work-wear inspired look prioritises comfort and utility, but offers lots of scope for creativity and fun. You could go for a classic denim, a breezy linen, or a bold printed canvas. Even a plain denim can be jazzed up with some contrasting patch pockets - dead easy even for a beginner, and that big bib pocket is just begging for a gorgeous print.
The simple tie shoulder straps make adjusting the fit a breeze and add a charming, homemade detail; while more experienced sewers can easily adapt the pattern to whatever hardware details they desire. The high back design provides a secure fit and clean silhouette from behind, and from a practical point of view, you have pockets galore, with plenty of room for your phone, keys and snacks.
And because everything is cuter in miniature, we also have a Kids Denton Dungarees pattern available. These are great for durable playwear, as well as the mini-me photo opportunities. The adjustable tie straps also leave some room to adjust as they grow. The instructions are the same for both patterns, it really is an adorable mini version!

The Isfield is a sophisticated, modern take on the classic tea dress, featuring a flattering, semi-fitted shape that transitions seamlessly from weekend brunches to formal occasions.
The gently contoured bodice features shaping darts at the waist for a polished, feminine look, while the self-fabric back ties allow you to adjust the waist cinch for a more defined or more relaxed fit.
Statement elbow-length puff sleeves provide comfortable and subtle volume (there’s no hidden elastic). The versatile midi-length skirt with a slight A-line flare offers a graceful drape and is easy to lengthen or shorten.
The details and style the Isfield provides for a relatively simple construction (no zips, buttons or fastenings) makes the dress a great confidence builder for beginners, especially those who’ve made a few simple dresses and want to take the next step.
The pattern is also available as part of a full dress making kit, with fabric and notions, over on the Isfield Dress Kit page, while stocks last (please note: kits are for UK delivery only).

The Wiston is a timeless summer top with an asymmetric hem and neckline. The buttons on one side add a decorative touch to the asymmetry.
Pair with shorts for high summer or go with a slim trouser and a shrug or cardi on cooler days.
Make up in linen for classic comfort in the heat or use a drapey viscose for a less structured look.
Sizing
UK: 8 - 30.
US: 4-26. EU: 34-56.
Suggested Fabrics
Perfect for a classic linen, broderie anglaise or cotton poplin to give a structured look and make the most of the shape. Alternatively a softer viscose or cotton lawn will give you more drape and allow the top to sit closer to your body.

Up to Size 22 = 140cm wide, 1.4m
Notions
• Interfacing for facings: 50cm of 1m wide interfacing
