Projects / Colette Dress Recommend:
Four-week Project

Sew one of four locally-made Colette Patterns, alter the pattern to fit, and sew a dress fit to you.

Practice measurements, pattern modification, construction and embellishment techniques.

About Colette Patterns: The designs themselves are often inspired by the past, but constructed to be modern and wearable. Each is easily adapted in a range of versatile fabrics, are available in modern sizes 0 through 18, and have practical details such as pockets.

Each pattern comes packaged in a beautifully printed booklet with fine linen-textured cover and stitched binding. Instructions are clearly illustrated, and each includes a glossary of sewing terms and special area for the sewist’s own notes.

Colette Patterns are made with love in Portland, OR.
