Well rounded and to the point–my Hesperides Quilt pattern is a play on opposites–both in terms of shape and weight. While playing with my Euclid fabric collection on Essex (a linen cotton blend fabric), the weight had me thinking a lot about transparency and opacity. I loved pairing the meaty linen with Robert Kaufman’s oh-so-delicate lawn and quilting cotton. This project is the perfect opportunity to perfect your points and explore a variety of fabrics.
+ Part of the Slow Sewing Studio, this appliqué pattern offers plenty of practice with points in appliqué.
+ Featured fabrics are from my Euclid collection with Robert Kaufman.

Part of our Rome Collection, the Pietra Pants & Shorts are the best of both worlds; a flat front, high-waisted silhouette with the comfort of an elastic waist in the back. Featuring lengthening panels in the front with slanted hip pockets and a hidden waist stay, you’ll never want to take them off.
Choose between four leg styles: a wide leg in floor-skimming or cropped length (View A), a slim and tapered leg (View B), or gently flared shorts (View C).
Go bold with this dramatic cocoon silhouette and angled seaming. Choose lightweight fabric for a spring/summer version or cosy wool for cooler weather. This is a pattern for every season. Our fully lined Sapporo Coat also features cropped sleeves, tapered cuff and pockets hidden in the front seams.
Fabric
Can be made in any woven fabric; from a light cotton, rayon or silk right through to a heavy wool. The choice is yours!
