Patterns with simple lines

The Tania culottes from Megan Nielsen and the Springfield Top from Cashmerette are great sewing patterns for working with the seasonal colours like orange and lilac. Both sewing patterns have a simple silhouette that will beautifully skim the curves and look stunning made in solid colours.

Wear the colour in your bag

Pick a colour to make a bag that will go with most of the garments you already own.

The Redwood Tote from Noodlehead is the ideal mid-sized bag for every day and has handy short handles, as well as a crossbody strap. To view the Redwood Tote sewing pattern – hantex.page.link/nhr
