This week, we have some beautiful spring-suitable outfits for your warmer weather sewing plans. We've taken inspiration from the brand Whistles, from bold bright dresses to matching co-ord sets. We hope you love all the linen and cotton fabric suggestions too!
Dress up or down a bold structured dress with summer sandals and a clutch bag. This scarlet red viscose linen is a gorgeous option!
Shoes: Asymmetrical buckle sandals.
Our washed linen cotton works really well as elasticated trousers. We've paired them with an embroidered cotton shirt and a hold-all tote bag.
Fabric: Washed Linen Cotton in Seafoam Green, Cotton Voile - Embroidered Floral Arches, and Washed Linen Cotton in Navy with straps in Confetti Webbing.
Patterns: Named Aulio Elastic Waist Shorts and Trousers, Friday Pattern Company Donny Shirt and Merchant & Mills Orton Bag.
This co-ord set in plum is an absolute stunner! Check out our new printed cotton canvas in the European Summertime design - it's a great fabric for bags or jackets.
Fabrics: Washed Linen Cotton in Plum and Cotton Canvas European Summertime.
Whistles loves featuring a classic button down, vest, and trousers. We've chosen a cotton chambray for the trousers, which is a great alternative to heavier denim jeans. This waistcoat is a perfect extra layer for the cooler mornings at the moment.
Patterns: Sew House Seven Free-Range Slacks, Closet Core Jenna Shirt, and Bella Loves Patterns Bennie Vest.
Another co-ord option but this time in a jersey. This olive green Ponte works beautifully for a mid-weight skirt. Pair with a structured jacket to complement the colour blocking.
Patterns: Wardrobe by Me Linea A-line Skirt, Helen's Closet Dawson Top, and Modern Sewing Co. Potters Jacket.
