Introducing the 'Go Two Piece' PDF pattern
Go Two Piece PDF Pattern
The Go Two Piece PDF pattern is a stylish and simple 2-piece jersey separates set with a complementary loop scarf. The simple design combines refined style and comfort. The top has a gentle batwing sleeve and a band that sits comfortably on your lower waist. The skirt band is designed so it doesn’t need elastic- all you need is the fabric, thread and you're good to go!

Alternative Denim Jacket - 2 Day Course
More informationSat & Sun, 6 & 7 September
Location: Tecstiliau, Bethel, Caernarfon

What will you make? This stylish alternative to the traditional denim jacket has raglan sleeves, a lining and plenty of opportunities to top stitch!
We encourage you to think about using materials you already have or ‘deadstock’ fabrics that would otherwise be unwanted. Rather than consume more materials reuse or reduce our consumption while making new garments for your wardrobe.
Ideal for women from size 10 to 22, stay chic with the stunning designs featured in this pattern collection. We will take you step-by-step through the fitting and construction process to produce beautiful garments and are aiming to give opportunities to make small accessories to limit the fabric waste. This course is for confident beginners to intermediate sewists, age 16 and up.
Book through the Tecstilia website - link attached.
