Skill level:
Ellie - Beginner
Ally - Advanced beginner (due to the skills needed to insert an invisible zip and lining, however I have included detailed instructions on how to insert an invisible zip and how to attach the lining so if you are a beginner with some experience and want something a little more challenging just take it slow, don't rush it and always make a sample before the final garment!)
A basic knowledge of how to use a sewing pattern, and basic sewing machine knowledge is needed for this pattern.

Please note, these files will download as .zip files. You will need to unzip the files before using. On an apple computer you can double click the zipped file, and this will open a new folder that contains the patterns.
On a windows computer you will need to right click on the .zip folder, and click "extract all".
This is a PDF file, and therefore will need to be opened in a programme that accepts pdf format. Adobe reader works well and can be downloaded online completely free for windows/mac! "Preview" also works well on Apple Mac computers.
You only need to print the files that are relevant to you.
For example, if you are a UK customer and print on an A4 sized printer, you will want to download both A4 files, but can ignore the US Letter sized files.
If you are a UK customer and want to print your pattern file at a printshop in large format, download the A0 printshop file, to print at a printshop, and then download the A4 pattern and instruction file for your instructions.

Fabric and notions:
Both patterns have been designed for light-medium weight woven fabric with a little structure to it. Such as 100% cotton, medium weight crepe, poly cotton, linen etc.
Ally skirt:
You will need:
- Main fabric
- Lining fabric
- 9 inch / 23cm invisible zipper
- small amount of fusible interfacing for the waistband (optional)
Main fabric:
For a fabric width of 150cm/59":
All sizes - 65cm/0.8 yards.
For a fabric width of 137cm/54":
UK sizes 4-12 - 65cm/0.8 yards.

For a fabric width of 115cm/45":
All sizes - 115cm/1.3 yards
Lining fabric:

Ellie bralet:
You will need:
- Main fabric
- Lining fabric (could also use main fabric)
Main fabric:
For a fabric width of 150cm/59": upto 64cm/0.7 yards (based on the largest size)
For a fabric width of 115cm/45": upto 80cm/0.9 yards of 114cm/45'' fabric.
Lining fabric:
You will need the same amount of fabric as your main fabric for lining your top.
You could also use your main fabric as your lining, just add the amount of lining needed to the amount of self fabric needed. (I personally always use my main fabric as my lining, but depending on cost you can always choose a cheaper lining if you don't want it to be reversible!)
This pattern does work in a reversible style too, so why not choose another fabric you like instead for your lining and make it reversible!
For any confusion, please send me a message and I will be happy to help!
