    This is a great basic pattern, easy to follow instructions, very few pages to glue together and a quick sew!. It is the perfect blank canvas to make it your own.

    I love this pattern!! I love the boxy fit and how versatile it is! 🙂 Very quick and nice sew! Will be making many many tops out of this pattern. 🙂

  6. Olu –

    Refreshingly quick and simple pattern. Works great as a blank canvas to let your creativity flow. I used sweatshirt fleece and added a gold zip down the middle. The kind of pattern I will use again and again. I am really pleased with my purchase.

A slouch fit, straight leg style with long length leg. Topstitched seam details give a really individual look, change the stitching colour for a different take, or mix up your fabric choices on different panels.  If your boy goes through knees at record speed why not substitute those panels for a super durable contrast cloth!

The imaginative Balloon Fold Dress can be worn not one, not two but three different ways, how’s that for multifunctional? Simply fling it on and wear it full length. Tuck it up and under and you’ve got a short puffball dress. Pull it up and over to waist height and you’ve got a trendy skirt and top.

This playful, interactive Balloon Fold Dress will keep your child amused all day long. We know one little girl who likes to hide snacks in the fold of the skirt to be eaten throughout the day. And another who likes to keep her kitten close by, snuggled inside. But beware if your little one likes playing with small creatures, they might just end up inside too.

Baby Ziggy is the teeny tiny baby sister (or brother) of ‘The Ziggy’. The Ziggy, is our ‘blank canvas’, oversized boxy top for both girls and boys. Just like The Ziggy, Baby Ziggy is quick, versatile and easy to sew, making it the perfect project for beginners. We have tweaked the pattern just a little, to be a slightly slimmer, more appropriate fit for a baby.

Included in the tutorial are two different neck binding techniques, choose whichever suits your fabric.
