Vita T-shirt
There’s nothing quite as nice as a (home-sewn) classic for your wardrobe or suitcase. That means the Vita shirt is a must for your everyday outfits, or for when you need a classic piece to pair with a visually ‘busy’ outfit. It suits most body shapes and can be combined perfectly with jeans, a skirt, shorts or an ankle length or mid-length skirt. If you can’t decide what colour to make it, then don’t give it another thought and just make two! The pattern is nice and easy, and the sewing is done in no time.
Helena top
This list wouldn't be complete without a little crocheting and knitting. Rustic, crocheted tops in gentle earth tones are trending this summer more than ever. It fits well, looks lovely andis easy to make. What does that mean? This airy crocheted boxy top in cotton is your new favourite top this summer. Use a simple fantasy stitch to crochet the Helena top. It does require some counting and concentration, but the result is worth it!
Cherry shorts & culottes
A snap to make, 100% play proof and clean in no time? This summer item, our Cherry shorts for girls, is a dream come true for every parent. Ready for the sun and hours of fun playing in the sand? With an elastic waistband and loose cut, comfy is where you're at. Forget all the fuss of sewing on buttons and zips. The dressier culottes are also perfect for an evening walk to your favourite outdoor café for a delicious ice cream.
Otis T-shirt
It may be basic, but it's an absolute must for your little one. On holiday, at school, or just playing around the house – you can’t do without the Otis shirt. With its short sleeves and crew neck, this item will take you no time to make. The only thing that might take a little extra time is the snaps and the patch breast pocket, but even that can be done (in a snap!) by newbie sewers.
