Pattern add-on bonuses

 

The June 2023 pattern bonus was a gathered bishop sleeve for our Melba Dress.

The May 2023 pattern bonus was a cocoon hem for our Melba Dress (pictured above).

Above, the April 2021 Pattern Bonus, a lining and instructions for lining for our Belmore Jacket!
 

Pictured below, ur March 2022 pattern bonus was huge pockets for our Belmore Jacket. The huge pockets come in different sizes so that they'll remain proportional across our size range.







 
The funnelneck add-on for our Tarlee T-Shirt makes for a beautifully draped neckline, which is warm but isn't tight around the neck. Because of the unique in-set piece on the Tarlee, using the funnelneck is a cinch!
 
If you don't like the feeling of a high neckline around your neck, the funnelneck Tarlee could be a great option for you as it doesn't feel at all restrictive!
Other bonuses for the Tarlee

These pockets for the Grainger Coat allow you to 'choose your own pocket depth'- there's plenty of room for several bottles of something and maybe even a small dog! They also make it easier to play with colour-blocking or do something interesting with your quilting, if you're self-quilting.


Expanding the possibilities of our Huon Shirt & Dress, this bonus ruffled collar and matching cuffs make for a gorgeous gathered, almost Victorian era, look!
