Sewing Lotta
A simple to sew dress pattern by Tilly & The Buttons
This pattern was released a while ago but somehow had never made it into my sewing pile, so, I thought it was about time I changed that! If you are not familiar with Tilly & the Buttons patterns, they are fab. Not only do they come with a full instruction book, including pictures, they also print their patterns on really heavy weight paper. No more accidentally ripping your patterns made from flimsy tissue! The Lotta is a lovely dress pattern which simply pulls over your head and has an elasticated waist. No tricky zips or buttonholes in sight, YAY!
