Product Information

The elegant simple classics designed by Loes Hinse and sold by Textile Studio Patterns are no longer available, but might be worth looking out for.

Fabric choice can be crucial. Quality fabrics can give a luxury look to even the simplest of styles (see Eileen Fisher for examples). Choose wovens with a bit of body, so they don’t need much support from interfacing and don’t change shape while you’re sewing them. Not slippery, don’t fray easily. This is not the time to be trying viscose or thin silks. Similarly with knits – choose stable ones, that aren’t too floppy. Knits have the advantage they don’t fray, so no need for seam finishing. And there are non-knit fabrics like this too. All the dress patterns can be shortened to tops and tunics, and the tops and tunics lengthened to (maxi) dresses.Buy the N6347 dresses sewing pattern from New Look. It’s perfect for an advanced beginner dressmaker. Misses’ Dress

With a little more time – Decades of Style ‘Everyday’ patterns are supposed to be sewable in a day. Most are also rated ‘easy’. There are of course multiple easy patterns which are not timed, see the posts on elastic waist skirts and elastic waist pants. Notions: Thread. One pkg. of 7.8″ wide single fold bias tape, one pkg. of hem tape (opt.). C: one pkg. of 1/4″ wide elastic. And they usually only mean sewing time, not including preparation and cutting time. So not pattern assembly and fabric washing/ ironing times !

For previous editions of these patterns, Palmer-Pletsch claimed their unisex camp shirt and banded collar shirt patterns took 2 or 3 hours. They’re now less optimistic ! There are now many (untimed) blazer patterns at a wide range of difficulty levels, see list of the top 14 blazer patterns at Pattern Review. The more recent McCall’s PP pattern for a blazer, a ‘boyfriend’ style unisex design, had an inverted triangle shape and is also oop. Suggested fabrics: Cotton and Cotton Blends, Laundered Cottons, Chambray, Silks and Silk Types, Crepe, Laundered Silks-Rayons, Sueded Silks/ Rayons, Georgette, Double Georgette, Novelty Sheer Fabrics, Linen and Linen Blends.
