Discover a selection of what's on offer at the Selvedge Winter Fair below.
CHORE JACKET KIT
The Chore Jacket Kit offers a modern take on the classic workwear staple. Designed for both style and practicality, it features generously sized pockets for essentials like keys, a phone, and an additional chest pocket for small items like a train ticket or mask.
This version of the timeless jacket includes bust darts and a slightly nipped-in waist, providing a tailored and flattering fit. Despite its neat, short, and fitted design, it allows enough room to comfortably layer a jumper underneath, making it perfect for cooler days.
The kit is ideal for experienced sewers, offering a satisfying challenge while remaining approachable. When completed, this jacket is bound to earn compliments, allowing the proud maker to declare, "I made it!"
APRON DRESS KIT
The Dolly Apron Dress is a versatile and timeless piece designed for both comfort and style. Its wrap-around design fastens with a ribbon tie at the hip, while wide straps cross elegantly at the back. Practicality meets charm with two generously sized patch pockets on the front.
This dress is perfect for year-round wear. Pair it with a long-sleeved top in winter, a shirt in spring or autumn, or a T-shirt in summer. It’s a wardrobe staple that blends ease with elegance, offering a flattering fit for real bodies. With easy-fit sizing, the Dolly Apron Dress celebrates all shapes and sizes, and the kit can be customised to achieve a perfect fit.
RAGLAN DRESS KIT
The Raglan Dress Kit is a simple, stylish project suitable for sewers of all skill levels. This versatile dress combines comfort and elegance, transitioning effortlessly between casual and formal settings. With its slip-on design, it’s ready for anything from a walk in the park to a dinner party.
The dress features a subtle bust dart, a gathered skirt for a floaty silhouette, and a flat front panel for a smooth, flattering profile. It includes two customisable in-seam pockets, perfect for keeping essentials close. For an added touch of personality, makers can incorporate a pop of colour into the binding or the button detail on the cuff.
This kit is designed to bring joy to both the sewing process and the final garment, celebrating creativity and individual style.
The Selvedge Winter Fair takes place on Saturday 30 November 2024 at St Mary’s Church, Wyndham Place, York St, London, W1H 1PQ.
