Sewing Erin

A simple to sew pattern you will want to wear everyday.

The Erin pattern quickly became a firm favourite among the Textile Express team. Not only are the dungarees super comfortable to wear, they are also easy to adjust and fit to your body shape due to the panelled bodice. The pattern is available with three legs lengths, full, cropped and shorts and the shoulder straps also have two different tie options. My favourite design detail on the Erin is the lined bodice, not only does a contrast lining add a fun touch it is also great at hiding unsightly seams!

Lets find some fabric!

Linen or ramie can make a great choice for the Erin pattern.
