In genderless sizing from XS-XXXL 'Workwear' illustrates the eternal relevance and versatility of traditional workwear shapes and detailing. These simple everyday garments are clothes not fashion, living outside the fast and careless, trend-led landscape.
The concept and designs within the book are explored through conversations with makers of varying disciplines, from weaving to wood turning. These makers model the patterns and tell us a little of their story and their craft.
WORKWEAR presents five new complete patterns, printed full size:
A chore jacket (choose to make with a zip or button closure)
A classic shirt (choose to make a shirt or shirt dress with a shirt or grandad collar)
A pair of trousers (choose to make trousers or shorts)
A classic blazer (choose to make lined, unlined or with bound seams)
A Japanese-inspired mail bag
In each chapter we will talk through the cloth used and offer tips and advice on handling and finishing. This is not a beginner’s book but nor is it advanced. It’s a handbook of staple makes and satisfying techniques, sure to become a well-thumbed companion to any maker’s handmade wardrobe.

I contacted Grace from Beyond Measures regarding Appletons crewel wools and she immediately responded to my query. She gave me all the informations I needed and took the time to list all the colours that were available. When I purchased, my parcel was dispatched on the same day! I am very happy with the service and quality of materials I have received.
Loved this introduction to Sashiko…I am totally hooked. No worries about the instructions being in Japanese ChatGPT translated perfectly. Response from the Beyond measure team were prompt and v helpful. One happy customer returning.
Excellent quality, being a well made hoop and a deeper frame it's so much better at holding the fabric taut
Always a joy to receive an order from Beyond Measure. Quick reliable service. Beautifully wrapped. I love Grace’s leather thimbles, just prefect for hand quilting. Definitely recommend Beyond Measure for all your creative needs. X
I love this stuff, it makes it so easy to transfer embroidery/ Sashiko patterns, I just trace the pattern then sew over the top and it washes away under a running tap.
