Dana Dress & Blouse
Loose-fitting and comfy yet still stylish and put-together, the Dana Dress is a versatile staple. She features a V-neckline, easy-fit loose shape, delicate tie belt, patch pockets, elbow length sleeves and a covered button placket, for a modern and minimal look. As well as the dress variation, Dana can be cut short into a hip-length or waist-length blouse. The Blouses look great tucked into the Kate Skirt, or worn cropped with the Camille Trousers. There is so much mix and match potential!
Styled with a chunky necklace or statement earrings, Dana will take you from the office into the evening and onto the weekend with ease.
Kate Dress, Shirt & Skirt
With dress, shirt and skirt options, Kate is an incredibly versatile three-in-one pattern with loads of outfit potential. The Kate Dress features a neatly fitted bodice with darts, covered button placket, collar and collar stand. The short sleeves are finished with turn-up cuffs, and the below-the-knee-length panelled skirt features slits in both the front and back sides for that little bit of sass. She closes with an invisible side zip. The Kate Shirt has a looser fit with no waist darts, and the Skirt variation features a narrow waistband.
Perfect for meetings, meals out or just meandering around the park, Kate is ready to go with you wherever your week takes you.
Camille Jumpsuit & Trousers
Camille is the ultimate chic jumpsuit with three beautiful variations. With a wrap bodice, waistband and elegant wide leg, the two Jumpsuit options are ready to make a statement, whilst the Trousers variation is perfect for pairing with the Edie, Dana and Kate tops.
Variation 1 was designed for office power dressing, with a sleek tailored sleeve and smart vibe, whilst variation 2, featuring a floaty, fluted sleeve, is perfect for dressing up for weekend weddings and fun evenings out. The wide legs are flattering with simple pleat details and must-have pockets. All variations close with a centre back invisible zip.
Anna Coat
No Work To Weekend collection would be complete without a mac. The Anna Coat is a classic-style mac, with beautiful large lapels, epaulettes, pockets, back vent and a tie belt. The simplicity keeps it wearable whilst also making it a surprisingly quick coat to sew. Pairing gorgeously with all the other patterns, Anna is the perfect finishing touch to your capsule wardrobe.

What level is the eBook aimed at?
Whether you’re relatively new to dressmaking or you’ve been sewing for years, there’s something for you in the Work to Weekend collection, though most patterns fall in the intermediate range. Both Edie and Dana can be tackled by advanced beginners, whilst Kate, Camille and Anna are aimed at more experienced stitchers. With loads of variations, each pattern can be made simpler or more challenging depending on which garment you choose. For instance, the Kate Dress is definitely intermediate, whereas the Kate Skirt is easily tackled by a beginner. No matter what your level, all patterns come with with clear instructions and step-by-step photographs, guiding you every inch of the way.
What is an eBook?
An eBook is a digital book, designed to be viewed on a computer, laptop or tablet.

There are 15 A0 pages in total for the Work to Weekend patterns. If you have never used a digital PDF pattern before and don’t know where to begin, see our Guide to Assembling PDF Patterns over on the blog.
