Get set for Autumn with this collection of two beautiful tunic dresses - perfect for layering
SR21 - The Anneka Tunic
BEGINNER PATTERN
UK SIZES 6-20
The Anneka Tunic is an iconic tunic shape, inspired by the clean lines of Nordic design. As simple as it first appears, there are opportunities to really stamp your mark on this design. You could use contrasting pocket fabrics and co-ordinating bias binding for the neckline and armholes. Not only that, this dress is equally relevant for all seasons. Why not make Anneka in a warm and cosy wool blend with a full bamboo silk lining, or for summer try a beautiful cool linen.
FABRIC SUGGESTIONS
Winter - wool blends, denim, mid-to-heavyweight cotton, lightweight tweed
Summer - dress-weight cotton, bamboo cotton or silk, hemp fabric, light-to-mid-weight linen or linen blends
NOTIONS
1.8-2.3m of 25mm bias binding
SR19 - The Nicole Dress
BEGINNER PATTERN
UK SIZES 6-20
A wardrobe staple, the Nicole dress is utilitarian in style and simple in statement. A no nonsense, functional design for those stitchers who appreciate that, in style terms at least, less can often mean more.
Try using a contrast thread with a dark denim, or light chambray. The pocket can be added in different fabric to the main shell for added contrast.
