We are constantly inspired by fashion brands on the high street when it comes to our fabric buying here at Sew Me Sunshine so we thought we would put together some sewing inspiration for you that is inspired by Toast. We have paired some indie sewing patterns with some of our fabrics to create 5 different looks.
Simple but functional shapes are a big part of Toast. We love how they have styled a pinafore dress with a shirt underneath.
Patterns: Paper Theory Ray Pinafore + Olya Shirt.
