What’s New
NEW Pattern - The Broadwater Culottes
This month’s new pattern is the Broadwater Culottes.
The Broadwaters are classic culottes that combine the feminine silhouette of a skirt with the practicality of wide-legged trousers.
They feature a flattering shaped front waistband with an elasticated back for pull on-and-off comfort and easy fitting.
The deep front and back pleats add drape without adding bulk over the tummy area; while the generous slanted pockets provide everyday functionality.
The paper version of this pattern is also available as part of a full kit with pattern, fabric and notions. You can find it on the kit page.

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!
