Our Add-on Packs give you additional pattern pieces and instructions to put a new twist on our most popular sewing patterns.
Penny is a stylish shirt dress pattern with a nod to 1950s style but modern wearability. She features a button-up bodice with a dropped shoulder, flat collar, pretty gathered shoulder panels and a 1/2 circle skirt with an elasticated waist. If you're a fan of this pattern, you will LOVE our new Add-on Pack which lets you get more out of the Penny Dress and create some fun new variations on a classic.
With the Add-on Pack, you'll be able to make not one, not two, but three new versions! Turn Penny into a tie-front blouse, a tie-front dress or a playsuit (with pockets!). All three versions are perfect for summer. Please note, you will need the Penny Dress sewing pattern to use the Add-on Pack. If you don't already have it, get it here.
The Add-on Pack includes the following extra pattern pieces and detailed instructions on how to use them together with the original Penny Dress pieces:
- Penny Tie-Front Blouse front bodice and front facing pieces
- Penny Tie-Front Dress front bodice and front facing pieces
- Penny Playsuit front bodice, front facing, trouser and pocket pieces
The Penny Dress sewing pattern and Add-on Pack are aimed at Confident Beginners and are nice and versatile when it comes to fabric: most light or medium weight woven fabrics, such as cotton, linen, rayon, viscose, crepe or even silk will work. Shop our Fabrics to find the perfect one for you!
