Summer Shirt or Dress May 2027

Thursday's - 4 week series

13 May with the final course being on the 10 June.

9.00 - 12.30pm

This 4 week course is to complete the Avid Seamstress Studio Shirt or Dress.

Two styles, one pattern. Make it an effortlessly relaxed shirt dress or a contemporary everyday shirt.

The Studio Shirt & Dress is designed with a statement collar, dropped shoulders and cuffed sleeves, creating a relaxed silhouette that feels modern, stylish and wonderfully easy to wear.

Make the Dress

Wear the dress loose for an easy, flowing silhouette or add the optional tie belt for a completely different look. Gently blouson the top over the belt to create shape and definition at the waist.

Choose between a softly curved or straight hem, with practical in-seam pockets included in the dress version.

Or Make the Shirt

Use the shirt pattern lines on the pattern sheet to create a relaxed contemporary shirt that looks just as good worn loose as it does tucked into trousers or skirts, or layered over other pieces.

The sleeves can be worn at three-quarter length with the cuffs on show or casually rolled up, giving you even more ways to make and style both versions.
