Exhibitor’s Products
Penelope Dress Pattern
The Penelope dress features a loose fitting, lined bodice with a v-neck, wide, dramatic sleeves and a maxi skirt with an external frill, plus a side seam pocket - you can also make it as a simple one drop midi length. Perfect for summer and winter, depending on your fabric choice, Penelope is set to be your new best me-made friend.
Make her from cotton poplin or lawn to get maximum volume in those statement sleeves, or go for viscose or something with more drape for a softer look. Summer fabrics like broderie anglaise, chambray and linen are perfect for hot weather, while needlecord and jacquard would work well in the colder months. Penelope can be a lovely holiday outfit, is great for weddings and special occasions as a maxi, or as a casual dress for everyday wear when made without the frill - why not hack it into a blouse or a skirt? Playing around with the pattern is half the fun!
Penelope comes in sizes 6 - 30.

Perfect for popping on post-beach or wearing out for a picnic, the dress is based on a t-shirt style bodice, with gathered skirt layers, in your chosen length.

The dress can also be made with tie straps for hotter weather in classic sundress style.
A very easy make, the dress features short, attached sleeves and bust darts, and no closures. This pattern is suitable for beginners and those with very little sewing experience.

Paloma Dress Pattern
Paloma is a dream summer maxi dress, featuring a halterneck and a dramatic wide a-line skirt; cinched at the waist with a simple belt, she can go from a day at the beach to full on glamour at the bar with a change of accessories. Large cutaway patch pockets mean you’ve always got somewhere to put your phone or your suncream, and a simple tie at the back neck means there are no tricky closures.
Try it in cool linen for hot summer days or go for a classic look with chambray - Paloma works brilliantly in fabrics with a bit of body like African wax or broderie anglaise, but can equally give you a swishy statement in a more drapey fabric if you interface the pockets or leave them off.
This pattern also comes with the option of making it as a skirt. Paloma is an easy and quick make suitable for advanced beginners.
