Editor’s Letter
Has your sewing been on the back burner while the children have
been on the summer holidays? This edition will help you catch up
with the latest fabric collections that are due to come out over the
next few months, as well as the new pattern releases.
We’d like to introduce you to the lingerie designer, Sophie
Hines. Sophie is mad about fabric, sewing, and making things in
general but particularly loves when things are as beautiful on the
inside as they are on the outside! When she makes a bra, each
seam is a new chance to get things perfect. We chat to her about
her underwear patterns and what you can expect from one of her
patterns. We also have some tips for making underwear and how
to get the best results, plus some patterns to get you hooked on
making these small garments too!
Want to know what the latest trends are when it comes to
quilting? We share some of the ideas for the rest of 2023. Do you
ever wonder what other sewists are making? We list the bestselling
apparel sewing patterns for this year so far.
Julie Bonnar sews the Vienne Dress from SIZE:me and shares
what she liked so much about this sewing pattern.
Until next time, happy sewing!

Folkwear
Folkwear produces patterns that are based on authentic vintage and folk garments
from around the world but these patterns are also flexible enough to be used for
historical and theatrical costuming as well
as for making one-of-a-kind everyday
garments. They have a couple of new
patterns that we’d like to introduce you to.
The Chinese Jacket features a classic
jacket in three lengths and with front or
asymmetrical opening descendant from
the Qing Dynasty. This style is still worn
by people of Chinese heritage around the
world as a festive garment. It can be made
in lavish silks or satin for formal occasions or
cottons for everyday wear.
The Beautiful Dreamer pattern is based
on the humble ’49 Cents Buys this Muslin
Gown’ sold at Sears in 1902. It can be made
with a ruffled neckline and is cut just below
the knee or a wider triangular ruffled collar
and traditional ankle-length. Both styles
have deep box pleats in back, front gathers
and side seam godets. Make in a wide range
of contemporary fabrics like linen, rayon,
silks, gauze, dotted Swiss and lawn.
Both these patterns comes in sizes XS-3XL.

Mönsterfabriken
We’ve three more patterns to offer from this pattern company. The slightly A-line
shaped Ada Coat can be lined, and offers neat shoulders, large collar and generous
welt pockets. The Lizzie Wrap Skirt has elaborate details that prevents you from
flashing your legs on a windy day, and has several generous pockets including a stylish
patch pocket for you to store everything that you need. It’s the ideal everyday skirt
made in denim, linen, corduroy, wool or viscose. Polly is a fully-lined waistcoat with a
nice detail on the back dart directed towards the centre back seam. The pattern has
welt pockets and the belt shapes the curve at the back. And finally, but not least, the
lovely relaxed Vanja Dress & Top has a V-neck and a dropped shoulder plus a bellshaped
skirt with slits at the sides. Wear it cinched with narrow tie tapes at the waist or
sew with an elastic waistband.

Named
Clothing
The Lilja Dress, Pinafore &
Blouse is the newest pattern
from Named Clothing. This
garment comes in three
different variations an anklelength
dress, pinafore dress
and blouse. Make sleeveless
or with bohemian-length
puff sleeves with a round or
square neckline, or sew with a
combination of both. We love
the wrap sides and ties, which
can be fastened at the front
or back. This versatile pattern
is easy to wear and simple
to sew. This sewing pattern
comes in sizes 4-28.

The Jo Dress and Jumpsuit will certainly make a statement. The V-necked
bodice has a sculptural croissant sleeve and can be mixed and matched
with either the trouser or skirt to create a bold jumpsuit or dress. It really is
all in the detail, the beautiful innovative bias-bound slot seam finish adds
structure and dimension. Both options are finished with a traditional zipper
and fabric zipper pull to make it easy to get on and off. This pattern comes
in sizes 0-20.

MAKING THE
Vienne Dress from SIZE:me
By Julie Bonnar from The Pattern Pages
I love a dress – it’s the solution to many decisions on what to wear for me. It’s the one-stop
garment where you don’t have to match anything else – just throw on and go! Dresses are so
versatile, and if you choose the right one, it can take you from day to night and from season to
season by just adding accessories and different shoes.
My pattern choice
I particularly like a tiered dress as they are very flattering. The
Vienne Dress from SIZE:me is such a staple and will become a
popular choice in your wardrobe all year-round! We were lucky
enough to work with Donna King the designer behind this
pattern for the magazine so I actually made two of these dresses
for our model Jenni (shown in the photos)!
This sewing pattern looks like it could be complicated to
make but in fact, it’s not! There are no difficult fastenings and
it really can be made by any level of sewer. The instructions
are very comprehensive, but I love Donna’s YouTube video that
really does hold your hand through every step, which is perfect
for the beginners among you.
I have been sewing for quite a few years but I found Donna’s
video very informative and actually learnt a few tips and tricks
that I didn’t know like how to master the bias bound neck and
sew the elastic into the sleeves and waistband, an easier way!
The video also has QR codes along the way on the pattern
instructions so you can find each of the techniques on the
video very easily.
This pattern comes in 10 sizes that are marked by a special
symbol rather than a size number. This forces you to take
accurate body measurements rather than pre-empt what size
to sew! The sizes start from 82-127cm (bust), 61-106cm (waist)

and 89-134cm (hips). The dress was the perfect length for Jenni but it’s very easy to shorten or lengthen if you need to. The dress
is fitted at the waist, enough to feel like it has shape but also loose-enough to be flowy and comfortable.
My fabric choice
This dress would look beautiful in a print, but it looks equally stylish in solid colour to show off the gathers and tiering. The pattern
recommends a light-weight woven fabric with lots of drape like viscose, chambray and crepe. I chose a linen blend for a dress with
more structure as I’d been eyeing up these linen blends over on the Hantex website for a while. This fabric is prone to fraying (like
any linen or linen blend). After the pre-wash, the first fray always looks worst but don’t worry it doesn’t affect the finished garment
– you just need to make sure you finish the seams well. I finished all my seams by overlocking them. This fabric also softens with
every wash, and sewing with it is as easy as sewing with any quilting weight cotton too!
My tips for making
• Don’t skip the stay-stitching around the neckline - this helps eliminate any stretching out of shape.
• Make sure you press (lift and place the iron) rather than ironing the neckband. I decided to test this theory and the neckband
when ‘ironed ‘measured a good 5cm longer than when I ‘pressed’ the same size one.
• Use the quartering method to attach the elastic but don’t sew it together at the ends before sewing it on, Donna’s way is so
much easier and really is stress-free!
EDITORS NOTES
THE PATTERN: SIZE:ME VIENNE DRESS
The pattern creates a loose fitted, tiered dress, but
unusually, it has pockets! It’s the ideal dress for all
seasons, layered up with a cardigan or jacket for chillier
days or just add sandals for summer. As we’ve mentioned
the pattern comes in its own sizing scale so do check
your measurements on the pattern. The pattern has
a suggested order of making, which will build your
confidence and skill levels as you sew. Learn to handle
lightweight fabrics, sleeves, darts, bias bound neck,
gathering, pockets and hemming.

THE FABRIC:
Julie chose to make her Vienne Dress
in the red yarn-dyed linen cotton blend
from Modelo’s Carbury fabric collection.
It’s a mix of 55% linen and 45% cotton
ideal for dresses, blouses and skirts. This
fabric range also comes in other colours
including black, grey, denim blue, navy,
sky blue, taupe and soft green – so
there’s plenty of colours to choose from!

INNER
BEATUY
We chat to Sophie Hines about what
inspires her underwear designs
Tell us a bit about yourself?
Hi, I’m Sophie! Right now I’m living on the Atlantic coast
with my new puppy, Melba. I grew up in the American
Midwest, graduated fashion school in 2015, and have
been self-employed making and designing lingerie
since. I love to travel to see new places and friends,
and along the way I’m always excited to try regional
foods. This winter, I got to spend some time in France,
Denmark, and the Faroe Islands, which has been a
particular dream. I’ve been missing French chocolates
and cookies since I’ve been back in the states! I always
love spending time with lovely people and in beautiful
surroundings to keep my work balanced. This way, I
always have energy to design beautiful things for my
friends to make!
What made you decide to design and
concentrate on lingerie?
I’m not sure it was really a choice! Growing up, my
favourite part of my dolls clothes were their underwear.
I started out sewing dresses and clothes, but everything
always gravitates back to lingerie for me.
I love how beautifully utilitarian I can make it look, and
how it directly contributes to people feeling good in
their bodies when they have garments that make them
feel comfortable and even emotionally supported.
What makes your designs different from
other pattern companies?
My designs have always leaned towards minimalist
androgyny, which wasn’t in style when I started in
fashion! When I began learning to make and design
lingerie, I wanted to create the patterns for what I was always looking for but couldn’t find!
I started with a focus on go-to basics, but after a few years, I got bored! I needed more creative stimulation and decided I may as
well get unconventional with it. That’s when I started setting myself Ocean-based design challenges for Halloween lingerie costumes,
then full sewing patterns. I have a bit I do on Instagram where I post videos of sharks and whales, then warn everyone to never go
in the ocean lest they perish. Really though, I’ve always been incredibly fascinated by the water, and it’s a really fun way to challenge
myself to create interesting things.

What is the best part of designing these sorts of sewing patterns?
The best part of designing sewing patterns is the drafting! You get to manipulate each piece, grade, decide on the order of
operations, and perfect the shape of the seam allowances so everything fits together perfectly, every step of the way. I love laying out
the instructions and fussing with them until everything is perfect. Getting reports back from my fit testers is so much fun also, because
when I analyse them I feel like a star engineer!
What are your favourite patterns and why?
My favourite patterns to wear are definitely the Axis Tank and
Median Knickers – I wear them as a set every single day. I
designed the Axis Tank because I spend a lot of time in a cosy
armchair with my computer, and I wanted a more comfortable
base layer to feel supported but not uncomfortable or restricted.
The Median Knickers are also so comfortable and never
have to be adjusted! One thing that is an absolute must in my
garments is that they be extremely comfortable to wear.
I loved designing the Hadal Set. This lounge set was inspired
by the topology of the deepest part of the ocean. I love getting
the curved design lines just right, so they feel like a natural part
of the garments, flowing all around the body.
Our Re-useable Period Panty is now available in a kit form
and contains a special trio of absorbent fabrics for the crotch for
three pairs, and then you choose your own fabric and elastic to
make your own designs.
Any new sewing pattern ideas?
I’m really excited to play more with ocean-inspired design
challenges! Right now, we’re still in the middle of a style update
in which we’re re-releasing our catalogue of sewing patterns,
updating the design and format, bringing everything into our
new XXS-6X size range, getting them printed, and adding
features like projector files, layered sizing and photosets. I also
have a backlog of sewing patterns from my days as a ready-towear
designer that I’ve been working through.
I dream of having a working studio where we can host sewing
classes and retreats, have a little shop and expand our lingerie
sewing materials and notions, and be able to bring our beautiful
community together in person.

SMARTY PANTS
Tips and tricks for sewing your own underwear with Sophie Hines
Choose the right size on your pattern
“Patterns are designed for a specific amount of stretch. Before
choosing a size, use the garment’s finished measurements to
check the fit in your intended fabric. Mark out the finished
measurements on your fabric, and hold the material around
your body to see if you like the size!”
What are the right fabrics?
Choose softer natural fabrics that are lightweight, breathable, drapey but durable,
doesn’t shrink, quick drying and have a good stretch recovery.
BAMBOO JERSEY
COTTON JERSEY (ORGANIC)
MESH (LIGHTWEIGHT)
MICRO-MODAL
NYLON SPANDEX
NYLON LYCRA
PERFORMANCE FABRICS
RAYON LYCRA JERSEY
STRETCH SATIN
STRETCH LACE
“The best fabric for your undies is what feels nice to you! I
look for fabric that has a base of natural fibres for comfort
and breathability, and 3-5% Spandex or Lycra for
longevity and stretch.”
Test your machine settings
“Knit fabrics can be a bit fussy, so check your stitch settings on
your fabric and stretch trim before sewing up your garment.
You may find your usual needle snags the elastic or breaks
the delicate fabric. I like using a very fine universal needle,
which I change often!”
Sewing Tips
• Use quilting-style clips to keep the layers together
• A rotary cutter and mat are more precise when cutting small pieces of fabric out
• Use a soft elastic narrow lace that’s won’t irritate you! A comfortable fit for elastic is
calculated by measuring your leg and taking off 5cm
• Invest in a tailor’s ham to help you press on a curve
• Use an overlocker for all interior seams. If you don’t have an overlocker use
a narrow zigzag stitch and topstitch it to the seam side
• Make sure all seam allowances are between the main fabric and the lining
Why you should sew your own underwear
It can be less
expensive
Use up fabric scraps
that are already in
your stash

QUILTING
Inspiration
The latest creative ideas to sew your next handmade quilt
Flower Bloom from Pen + Paper
POPULAR PRINTS
Animal designs remain a favoured print and are great for children and
those who love animals. Geometric prints are a wonderful choice for
adding colour to a room’s interior, while textured quilts like puff quilts
and quilts made from more unusual fabrics like chenille give a cosy feel
to your quilting project. Neutrals remain on top and two-tone quilts will
fit into any home décor scheme. Floral quilts never go out of fashion and
can add a cheerful look to your home all year-round.
BOLD COLOURS
Many stitchers are choosing
to make their quilts in bolder
rich jewel colours like ruby red,
turquoise blue, emerald green
and amethyst this year with large
abstract designs and geometrical
shapes. Accents of gold and
silver that add an extra metallic
look are proving popular.
NATURAL INSIDE
EPP Party from Pat Bravo and Mister Domestic
VERSATILITY
Many quilters want flexibility and versatility in their
quilting and are opting for adjustable rulers that
can be used to create a variety of shapes, sizes and
intricate designs with ease. English Paper Piecing
templates allow you to create all sorts of shapes with
precise point to point measurements so your quilt
tops will fit perfectly!
To see the full range from Paper Pieces® – click here
It’s about natural fibres for the
wadding/batting part of the quilt
with cotton, wool, and bamboo
making the grade. These offer
warmth and insulation, but are
eco-friendly too.
REFASHIONED
If sustainability is important to you and you love working with recycled
fabrics then why not try using scraps from your fabric stash or using old
T-shirts and shirts to make a memory quilt to be admired.
