Beyond Measure is delighted to be the exclusive UK retailer of the 100 Acts of Sewing patterns from US maker, Sonya Philip.

Sonya developed the series as part of her slow sewing project 100 Acts of Sewing and has created a cult following for these simple but beautiful patterns. Used as they are, they create easy fitting, comfortable garments, ideal to show off your special fabrics. As your confidence grows, you will be customising and personalising the clothes to create an exciting and unique wardrobe! You can find lots of ideas and tutorials on Sonya’s blog.

Shirt No. 1 is a simple top with short sleeves. This loose fit shirt is easy to wear and makes a great layering piece. The neck is finished with bias tape facing. Once you have mastered the basic pattern, you can play around with the neckline, cuffs, and add buttons etc.

The pattern calls for 1.5 yards – 2 yards (1.4 – 1.8 meters) lightweight plain weave fabric such as linen, cotton lawn or voile (no jersey or knits).

An instruction booklet walks you through the steps, from tracing and cutting the pattern pieces, to making and sewing bias tape. The pattern is printed on thick white paper, with eight nested sizes.
