    Cloud Dress

    $25.00$31.00

    Cloud is a versatile ruffle top and dress design inviting you to play with adding and removing tiers. You can make a top by only attaching the first tier, a midi dress with two tiers, or a floor-length gown by adding a third tier.

    Cloud is the perfect pattern for beginners – you’ll learn how to sew a neckline facing and how to become a pro at making gathers.

    This pattern was originally published in Issue No. 4 of TAUKO. The instructions are those included in the magazine and as such are a different format and less detailed than the usual Sewing Patterns by Masin.

    Daphne Maxi Dress

    $25.00$37.00

    The Daphne Maxi Dress has a high empire waistline, is fitted over the bust, features short puff sleeves, and a long flowy skirt.

    This pattern is perfect for pattern hacking, as you can easily exchange the puff sleeves for straps or lengthen the puff sleeve to a ¾ sleeve. It is also very easy to shorten the skirt to a midi or mini length or even to a peplum top if desired. The bustier of the Daphne pattern with a simple gathered skirt would also look gorgeous. The options are endless.
