Select an airy fabric with a fluid drape and your Ulla dress will be ready – just like that – for a morning walk on the beach.
Ida top (FM 10, 2020)
Looking to expand your wardrobe with a true gem, but that's a breeze to make? With a loose cut and two V necklines – Ida's your pattern. Honestly, life can be so simple if you’ll let it. And Ida is simplicity personified, with straight cuffs that give it an understated, yet charming touch. Pair it with high-waisted trousers or a calf-length skirt or... lengthen it into a comfy dress!
Betsy skirt (FM 10, 2020)
Looking for a pattern that's rewarding to make and to wear? Say hi to Betsy! This asymmetrical skirt has an elasticised waist and is shorter at the front than the back. It looks lovely in calf-length, but other lengths work nicely too? Check! hereEven better, you can have done in a flash! There's no need for a gorgeous outfit to take oodles of work every time. Go casual or join the party... Betsy is up for anything. Pair with the Ida top for a head-to-toe Fibre Mood outfit. Bring on the summer holiday!
Adam shorts (FM 10, 2020)
And for Fibre Mood kids, the Adam is a definite must-have. It’s a well-thought-out design with subtle lines and pockets that extend from the sides to the back. The elasticised waistband makes Adam comfy to wear all day long. There are two options for the hemline finish. Stitch neatly all the way around, or be ‘off-the-cuff’ and turn them up. You won’t run out of options soon with this easy sewing project.
Afra & Cory shirt (FM 8, 2020)
Timeless, super easy to sew, and stylish... You’ll always be sitting pretty in the Afra, even on unexpected chilly evenings on your holiday. Match it with the Cory shirt for kids, and you've got your favourite self-made item in your suitcase.
