The Rusper Blouse combines vintage-inspired details with a relaxed, modern silhouette. The open neck blends into a continuous collar band that extends into neckties, which can be tied in a classic bow, a loose knot, or left elegantly draped.

Delicate gathering at the front, shoulders and back neck creates texture,and gives a comfortable, fluid fit across the bust and shoulders.

The elbow-length Raglan sleeves feature subtle volume gathered into a neat cuff, finished with a self-tie closure.

Whether you dress it up and tuck it into a tailored skirt or keep it casual and flowing over your favourite jeans, the Rusper can be adapted to all occasions, providing a versatile addition to your me-made wardrobe.

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.

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!

If you buy this adult version of the pattern, you can get the kids version for half price - just add both to your cart and your discount will be calculated at check-out.

Light enough for warmer days, wear with a cardigan for the slightly chillier ones. Relaxed and comfortable it works just as well at the office as it does for an evening out or a country walk.
