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!
Which Fabric To Choose?
There are so many fabrics suitable for this dress, you just need to pick something light to medium weight with a good drape.
