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.

Washed Ramie Linen Look Aqua B135

£14.00 / Metre

Ramie is a fantastic eco-friendly cloth which behaves very similarily to linen. It is made from nettles and therefore is a sustainble option as they are easy to grow without the use of chemicals. As ramie shares so many qualities with linen, including a lovely handle and soft drape it can be an ideal choice for curtains and other soft furnishings projects.

Ramie is an extremely strong fibe and is also breathable and highly absorbant making it the perfect cloth for dressmaking. With a weight of 255gsm it is the perfect mid weisght cloth for trousers, dresses, shirts and more!
