Merchant and Mills The Factory Paper Sewing Pattern 6-18 or 18-28
Inspired by working women, with a dash of the Twenties. The Factory Dress slips over the head, features pockets and ready-rolled up sleeves. The Factory dress is 'easy fit' so use the bust measurement only for sizing.
We have now included a seperate pattern to make the Factory as a top.
All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated.
Skill level - beginner.
Fabric suggestions - linen, linen blends, tencel, cotton chambray, very fine wool or corduroy.
*Please note we have now changed pattern printers. Our patterns are now printed within Europe, the pattern paper is 70gsm white (FSC® certified) and is made only 180km away from the printers. Our instructions now come in booklet format rather than A3 sheets. The paper is PEFC/01-31-126 certified.
