Eight Tee
Shop sales are in British Pounds CURRENCY CONVERSION
NEW
Eight is a relaxed-fit, drapey, sleeveless tee with a round neck and shoulder pads. That’s right, shoulder pads – an eighties trend with a fresh twist. We’ve added structure to the shoulder to create a powerful, but soft silhouette as a subtle nod to the eighties. But don’t worry, there’s no need to be searching the shops for ready-made shoulder pads, where’s the fun in that? For this pattern, you get to make the shoulder pads yourself, wooo hooo!!!
Never thought you’d be wearing shoulder pads again (or ever)? Well, don’t knock it till you try it. You’ll be surprised at how great the Eight Tee will look on you and what’s more how unbelievably fierce you will feel. But don’t worry, if you really don’t want to go down that road, just leave the shoulder pads out, it may not be as powerful but it will still be beautiful.
Team your Eight Tee with a pair of jeans and trainers or smart trousers and heels and you’re good to go.

- cotton or cotton/elastane

Go Shorties & Cami
Shop sales are in British Pounds CURRENCY CONVERSION
No butts about it, when it comes to underwear, comfort is key. Swap your cheeky, wedgie-inducing knickers for a pair of practical, old-school, full bum coverage, grandma-approved pants.
Pair your shorties with our close-fitting, classic camisole – the everyday, year-round, versatile essential. Wear on its own in the warm weather or as a layer beneath your Hug Hoodie during the colder months.
Our Go Shorties & Cami comes packed with features, so many that we had to divide the pattern into 2 views.
VIEW A SHORTIES sit at the top hip, they feature fold over elastic for the leg and waist finishing. They have 2 gusset options, one that fully encloses the gusset seams on the inside and one where no seam is visible from the front.
VIEW A CAMI features fold over elastic for the straps and neck binding. And the option of adjustable straps.
Most suitable for: underwear, sleepwear…
VIEW B SHORTIES sit at the top hip, they feature colour blocking, leg bands and an enclosed elastic waistband or a wide exposed elastic waistband option.
VIEW B CAMI features colour-blocking and the neckline and straps are finished using self-fabric. It has the option to add a built-in bra and the option for adjustable straps.
Most suitable for: loungewear, swimwear, beachwear, sportswear, underwear, sleepwear…
Fabric recommendations
-

Consider how your fabric is going to feel against your skin. For the gusset of the shorties we recommend 100% cotton for comfort and ventilation.

Rest Vest for ADULTS
Shop sales are in British Pounds CURRENCY CONVERSION
The extremely versatile Rest Vest is a gorgeous, cleverly constructed, easy to wear garment with angled seamlines that lends itself to colour-blocking. The unique back detail flatters the shoulders and creates a statement silhouette.
Can be worn just as easily for sweaty workouts as it can for nights out with friends, chilling at the beach or for bed with our indispensable Go Shorties.
The Rest Vest is available in two fits:
RELAXED FIT
Unlike the close-fit Rest Vest, the relaxed-fit Rest Vest flows at the hips.
CLOSE FIT
A noticeably narrower cut than our relaxed-fit Rest Vest, to ensure nothing gets in the way when you workout. The additional panels at the sides give you the opportunity to use up small left-over pieces of fabric.
Fabric recommendations
- Light to medium weight jersey, something with a bit of drape works well like a viscose/elastane or a technical sportswear jersey.
- A poly/cotton or 100% cotton single jersey will be fine, as long as it’s a lighter weight so it has a bit of drape.
You should be able to stretch the fabric by a minimum of 20% and it should snap back to its original size after stretching.
ALSO AVAILABLE IN TEEN SIZES
