With no darts, zips or set-in sleeves, Stevie is a satisfyingly quick and easy make – yay! Stevie has a modern, boxy fit, with round neckline and grown on sleeves, closing at the back with pretty ties or button loop. Make as a top with cropped hemline that hits the high hip, or above-the-knee dress length, with optional turn-up cuffs and patch pocket. Throw it on with a statement necklace and you’re good to go!

Stevie includes jargon-busting instructions, helpful sewing tips, and colour photos showing you each step making it easy for you to create gorgeous clothes you can be proud to say you made yourself.
