I Am Patterns Hélios, a sewing pattern with seven versions. With me you can make an entire summer wardrobe.
I feature a top with adjustable straps, a straight neckline, bust darts and a slightly a-line cut.
I can also be sewn as shorts, a skirt and trousers. These three versions have the same elasticated waistband with a drawstring. My skirt is a full circle skirt with Italian pockets. My shorts length is mid-thigh and also features Italian pockets. As for my trousers, they open elegantly at the front of the leg as you walk, and are finished with a rounded shape at the hem.
The bottoms can also be sewn to the top to create three additional garments: a playsuit, a dress and a jumpsuit. Four very simple versions, perfect for beginners and three combinations for a synonymously chic, casual and timeless style.
The pattern is enclosed in an envelope. It contains the sewing pattern along with a step-by-step illustrated explanation guide.
The different pieces overlap with each other so you will need to trace the pattern on paper.
Seam allowances are included.
SIZING: 36 to 46. See sizing guide in images.
VERSIONS: 7
1 top + 3 bottoms = 7 garments – We love this kind of math!
On top of being able to sew the top and bottoms as separates, you can combine them to make a playsuit, a jumpsuit and a dress. With this pattern you will be able to sew an entire summer wardrobe.
