Mirambell skirt
by Pauline Alice
Difficulty:
We love the romantic, retro feel of this
high-waisted skirt. Knife pleats hug
the hips before falling into a full hem,
which is super flattering, whilst the
shaped waistband and pockets make
for quirky detailling. There are two
length options as well as the choice
of an invisible back zipper or front
button closure. We’ll be making
this in a lightweight wool ASAP!
£13.50, backstitch.co.uk
V-neck shift
dress
by The Maker’s Atelier
Difficulty:
Hot off the press, this savvy shift
features lovely parallel sleeves with a
deep cuff that can easily be lengthened
and stitched up in practically any
light to medium-weight fabric. The
flattering silhouette is well balanced
by a mid V-neckline and inverted
pleat at the centre front. As a bonus,
there are no other tricky shaping or
fastenings to contend with. £22.50,

Stella
cardigan
by 1 Puddle Lane
Difficulty:
Who doesn’t love a good cardi? This
loose-fitting waterfall version will
be a great companion as the weather
changes, as it can be made as a
bodywarmer or with sleeves, and has
three different length options too. If
you have experience working with
knit fabrics, this pattern should be a
breeze. £7.41, 1puddlelane.com.au
This will look fab worn with
tights for chillier weather!

Landgate jacket
by Merchant & Mills
Difficulty:
This unisex hooded pullover is quintissentially British



  • the design is fuss-free and functional, with side and
    front pocket options and (of course) a hood. It’s far
    from boring though, as the drawstring waist and raglan
    sleeves are both practical and add interest. The range
    of suitable fabrics also make this a great piece; it’s well-
    suited to everything from cotton canvas and wool to
    oilskin and denim. £13, merchantandmills.com
