❤ We are super excited to offer our latest sewing kit, The Raglan Top. This limited edition kit will provide you with everything you need to make the short or long sleeved TOP version of our most popular sewing pattern, The Raglan. This fabric is light and airy, perfect for spring and summer. Teamed with jeans, skirts or shorts, this will be your go-to top. If you already have purchased The Raglan sewing pattern, don't worry, we've included an option to purchase the kit without the sewing pattern. Each fabric kit contains the following: Printed copy of The Raglan sewing pattern 2 metres of fabric (enough fabric to lengthen the top - the finished measurement from underarm to hem is 30cm) x1 Invisible Zipper x2 100m or x1 250m Gutermann thread in matching colour Fabric options: Choose from Indigo Spot or Olive Spot.
Our buttons are perfect for The Coat - available in 4 colours. In fact, they are so gorgeous you'll want to match your fabric to them, rather than the other way round! 22mm corozo button with four holes. Classic and simple with a matt finish. Corozo is a 100% natural product which is similar in consistency to hard resin. It is made up of very tightly wound organic fibres which give it excellent durability and is scratch resistant. #thecoat #coat #coatmaking #buttons
