TATA by Julie Bourgeois

The TATA dress is a loose-fitting design with an elegant fall that works well with different body types. Built from simple shapes with a single rounded cut for the neckline, the dress follows the practice of zero-waste cutting. The repetitive cutouts allow you to get super creative in your mix of fabrics, patterns, and colours.

Choose light to medium-weight fabrics with drape. Viscose, Cupro, silk, and light Tencel are good choices. The green and blue sample dress is made from the printed fabric “Lucie Cedar” (100% Lenzing EcoVero viscose, 3.69 oz/125 gsm) and green “Crepe Cactus” (100% viscose, 3.48 oz/118 gsm) from Atelier Brunette. The jersey (roughly 6.49 oz/220 gsm) is from the designer’s stash. Note that for thin jerseys you can double the fabric. The yellow sample is made from vintage fabrics from the designer’s stash.

SASHA by Sasha Huber

The SASHA design is a classy workers’ jumpsuit with patch pockets and an elastic band on the back. The design was created to fit many body types, which is why we have included an additional size for someone who is 55"/140 cm tall. When made from a lighter fabric, you can wear the jumpsuit oversized and add a belt if necessary. You can easily vary the design by removing pockets and adjusting the lengths of the legs and sleeves. The legs are made with facings so that you can roll them up if needed.

Choose a medium to heavy-weight fabric with no stretch. Consider using cotton, a cotton/polyester blend, linen, hemp, or denim. For an oversized style, choose a lighter fabric. The coloured jumpsuit is made from a fabric design by Christoph Hefti (100% cotton, 7.96 oz/270 gsm). The ecru jumpsuit is made from “Organic Canvas” (100% cotton, 8.55 oz/290 gsm) from Lebenskleidung.

The SASHA overalls are available in Issue No.7

FELIX by Sadie Egan

The FELIX smock is a cross between a cobbler apron, a utilitarian fishing vest, and an organizational wall caddy. It adds large functional pockets to any outfit for crafting, collecting, choring, or exploring. The design was created as an imaginative solution for more pockets to hold tools while working in any sort of creative studio.

Choose a heavy-weight fabric with no stretch. Consider using cotton, hemp, linen, a linen blend, or denim. The ecru smock is made from “Organic Canvas Fabric” (100% cotton, 8.55 oz/290 gsm) and the yellow smock is made from “Organic Panama Heavy” (100% cotton, 8.26 oz/280 gsm). Both fabrics are from Lebenskleidung.

PRISM by Aims Watts

The PRISM robe has adjustable ruching via drawstrings – you can make them as loose or as tight as you like. You can completely change the shape of the robe by adding a casing at the waist or under the bust and using additional drawstrings to cinch it. The robe has either patch pockets or inseam pockets, but you could also choose to remove the pockets completely and close the side seam. This design comes in two length variations: mini or midi-length.

The PRISM robe works best with lightweight, non-stretch woven materials. Anything floaty and airy (like double gauze, silk, linen, and cotton) is good. The ruching will create bulk, so we advise against using anything too heavy. The midi-length sample robe is made from lightweight “Big Apple” and “Apple” (100% Indian cotton, 5.9 oz/200 gsm) and the mini-length sample is made from lightweight “Tako (Octopus)” (100% cotton Lyocell, 3.83 oz/130 gsm). All fabrics are from INDY BINDY Fabrics.

The PRISM rope is available in Issue No.7

PICNIC by Mila Moisio

The PICNIC dress has an angular hem with large pockets and a fitted bodice, creating an articulated, fun, and sculptural silhouette. Two different necklines (round and boat neck) allow you to vary the style.

The PICNIC dress works best in medium-weight woven fabrics. A cotton fabric with some stiffness, such as poplin, is lovely for this piece as it can hold its sculptural shape. The dark brown sample dress is made from “Ailish Brown Cotton Poplin Stretch” (98% cotton, 2% elastic, 3.1 oz/105 gsm) and the ecru sample is made from “Ivane Ecru Viscose & Cotton Twill” (64% viscose, 36% cotton, 5.16 oz/175 gsm). Both fabrics are from The Fabric Sales.

LEIJA by Kaisa Rissanen

The LEIJA trousers have a long crotch and an angular hem with large pockets, creating a sculptural silhouette. The statement design makes these trousers perfect for festive occasions, but they are also great for travelling and everyday use. You can easily adjust the leg opening and open the seam a bit to give the trousers more space.

The LEIJA trousers work best in medium-weight woven fabrics. A cotton fabric with some stiffness, such as poplin, is lovely for this piece as it supports the sculptural shape. The green sample trousers are made from “Organic Stripe Cotton” (100% cotton, 4.13 oz/140 gsm) and the yellow sample is made from “Organic Papertouch Cotton Poplin” (100% cotton, 3.54 oz/120 gsm). Both fabrics are by Mind the Maker from METERMETER

The sample maxi dress is made from “Tähtisumu Mariini” (100% cotton, 3.83 oz/130 gsm) from Jyväskylän Kangaskauppa. The sample mini dress is made from a lightweight 100% silk satin, and the sample top is made from “EcoVero Viscose Dobby” (100% viscose, 3.54 oz/120 gsm).

AURORA by Abby Huston

The AURORA dress is an apron-style full-coverage sundress that wraps in the back and closes with long attached waist ties that thread through an opening in one side seam and cinch at the natural waist in either the front or back.

This dress works best with light to medium-weight woven fabrics in natural fibres. The designer’s favourite is medium-weight linen – but silk noil, cotton poplin, cotton lawn, or lightweight denim would also work beautifully. The printed sample dress is made from “Eden Blue – Camont Fabric” (100% cotton, 4.22 oz/143 gsm) by Rifle Paper Co. The red sample is made from “Linen C-501 Coral” (100% linen, 4.72 oz/160 gsm) by Indigo Fabrics. Both fabrics are from Cross & Woods.

APRIL by Susanna Smailova

Made from lightly quilted cotton, the APRIL jacket is great for multiple occasions – as a light mid-season liner or as leisurewear. You can use pre-quilted fabric or create your own. Experimenting with different quilt battings will allow you to create multiple looks with this simple design. The jacket is designed to be worn open; however, if you wish, you can add sew-on snaps or buttons to the front.

The APRIL jacket is designed for lightly quilted cotton double gauze or baby corduroy. The ideal thickness for the fabric is 0.2–0.3"/0.5–0.7 cm, and it needs to hold the shape when worn. The sample jackets are made from pre-quilted cotton double gauze and natural cotton muslin (100% cotton) with polyester batting (100% polyester). Both fabrics are from the designer’s stash.

AURI by Johanna Morris

The AURI design is a loose-fitting jacket that can be cropped or full-length. It features bold, wavy, asymmetrical lines that wrap around to the back at the side seam. You can sew the sleeves as a shorter cuton sleeve or make them full-length with a seamed sleeve. To highlight the wavy seams, try different combinations of colour-blocking, or experiment with other methods such as ruffles, topstitching, or other embellishments.

Choose light to heavy-weight woven fabrics, such as linens, cotton, chambray, wool coating, or boiled wool. The cropped sample with the ruffle is made using three different linens from the designer’s stash (100% linen, 5.31oz/180 gsm). The full-length sample jacket is made from organic cotton twill (100% cotton, 7.96 oz/270 gsm) in the colour “dune” by Mind the Maker from METERMETER.

The AURI is available in Issue No.7
