Sewing Patterns - PDF downloads

The patterns displayed here are from my 'Pattern Puzzles' and 'Off-The-Rails' in my commercial studio. I persist in using industry seam allowances and make a point of including this information in each pattern pdf. If you go to my blog and members area you'll find posts for each of these designs covering history, development and pattern alterations. Enjoy :)

Drape Back Tunic A0 (download)

The Drape Back Tunic is the simplest of patterns with the most stylish outcome.  It's a one-piece pattern with one size only and very clear markings to alter the generous fit of this tunic.  Cut in a jersey I easily fit this little gem on my size 20 dummy in the workroom.  And at the same time I wear my own jersey tunics regularly with skinny jeans, leggings or a pencil skirt.  This PDF has one size only with a 1 Pair cut for the complete garment and some volume and length alteration instructions included in the pattern.  You'll be able to moderate the amount of fullness in your garment according to your own taste.  You can checkout the Pattern Puzzle post about this design on the blog:

Tunic features:

This drape back tunic is best cut in a light, drapey, one-way stretch knit fabric.  The seam allowances are generous at 1.25cm (½") so there is enough fabric to finish the neckline and armholes.  The wider seam allowance will also be useful if you cut this tunic in woven fabrics (e.g. light weight cotton voile, light silks and some rayons).  It's home and industry ready with a flexible fit that makes it so easy to wear. This product is for personal and home use only.  For education and commercial use please email me direct.

Where do I start:

The first order of business is to select your fabric for this elegant tunic.  I'd recommend soft drape knits for your first sample.  That could be either one or two-way stretch knits although the elastane found in two-way stretch is not needed in this design.  And I did have some success using a light cotton voile keeping in mind a petticoat would be needed.  And I'm just dying to try it out in a silk crepe de chine!  Check out the blog post to see the voile sample:  Pattern Puzzle - Drape Back Dress

Skirt features:

This drape skirt is best cut in a double knit PONTI with an elastane content (lycra, spandex) for good recovery.  The seam allowances are 1cm (⅜") on the centre front and back seams with 0.7cm (¼") on the waistline for the self bind and elastic.

It's home and industry ready and based on my size chart.  The pattern fitting is for body hugging garment with a negative ease of 5-10% depending on your fabric choice.  When you check the measurements on the size you have selected you're looking for your body measurements minus 4-10cm approx.

Where do I start:

The first order of business is to select your closest size and begin the process of fitting this skirt to your own measurements.  The range of sizes on offer relates to my size chart.  Cut your closest size in a similar fabric for first fittings and make any necessary adjustments for personal fit. Once you have achieved a good personal fit you will be ready to cut in your final fabric.
