Merchant & Mills do denim - SO EXCITING!

Inspired by the fisherman of Brittany, the Francine is a simple top or dress that could become a wardrobe staple - not least because it’s got POCKETS. Sew one up as a slim-fitted top or A line dress with an inside breast pocket and pockets in the side seams.

This is a multi-size paper pattern in an envelope, including sizes 6 – 18. A 1.5cm seam allowance is included in the pattern unless otherwise stated. Skill level: Advanced beginner.

Merchant & Mills recommend using 5 – 10oz non stretch denim, cotton chambray, cotton weaves, linen and corduroy.

You will also need:

• Matching thread

• Contrast thread

• 1 x button approx 15mm
