Tilly & The Buttons – Coco Dress or Top Making Workshop

SEW WITH KNIT FABRIC and your OVERLOCKER!

Fill your wardrobe with classic Breton tops, cosy knit dresses and sixties-style funnel necks. Choose from top or dress length, boat neckline or funnel roll neck, long or three quarter sleeves with optional rolled cuffs and patch pockets.

You will be using your overlocker to make this pattern!

FABRIC SUGGESTIONS – Medium weight knit fabric with very little stretch. Look out for interlock knit, double knit, ponte di roma, or feel the fabric to check it’s not too fine or stretchy.
