The Poppy Sewing Pattern
Every sewing pattern designer or brand might have a different definition as to what defines sewing ability. Here's how I define sewing skill level for each sewing pattern:
-
Beginner
Ideal for complete beginners. These patterns use simple shapes and easy-to-sew woven fabrics like cotton or linen with no fitting required. Techniques may include straight seams, basic hems, inserting elastic, simple edge finishes like zig-zag stitch, no closures, simple square patch pockets.
-
Confident Beginner
For sewists who are comfortable using a sewing machine and following basic instructions. Building on your skills with techniques such as darts, gathering, applying facings or bias binding, simple sleeve styles, sewing simple closures like loops or ties, in-seam pockets, clean seam finishings with an overlocker or flat felled and french seam on straight seams, simple fitting adjustments, sewing visible centred zips, sewing curved seams and simple collars eg. peter pan. Slightly trickier fabrics can be used like viscose, light cotton lawn.
-
Intermediate
For those with a good understanding of garment construction. These patterns may include structured shapes, lapped or invisible zips, buttonholes, pleats, set-in sleeves, manderin or shirt collars, slant/zipped/flap pockets and linings or partial linings. You’ll start learning to adjust the fit and work with a wider range of fabrics, including lightweight or slippery materials.
-
Advanced
For experienced sewists confident in most garment techniques. Expect more complex construction such as fly zips, tailored collars, welt and breast pockets, fully lined or partial bagging-out, detailed seam finishing like hong kong or flat felled and french seams on curves. These patterns may require precise fitting adjustments and working with challenging fabrics or layers.
-
Expert
For highly skilled sewists with a deep understanding of garment construction and fitting. Techniques may include couture finishes, boning, structured tailoring, bound buttonholes, tailored jackets and coats with full structure, lined garments with bagged linings and complex pattern matching. A high level of accuracy and patience is essential.
The one that makes your boobs pop.
You are going to fall in love Poppy. It’s one of those sewing patterns that just keeps giving. You get a dress, a top, and a skirt all in one, so it’s perfect for when you want something pretty without faffing around with lots of different sewing patterns.
You can choose between thin straps or wider ones so if you’re someone who prefers your bra straps hidden, you’re covered. And the puff sleeves? Oh my, they give it the sweetest romantic vibe. The bodice is fully lined and everything is finished with French seams, which makes the inside look so clean and tidy. And you don’t even need an overlocker, which is always a win.
The skirt and dress have pockets (obviously!) and the faux-shirred elastic waist is so comfy. It gives that soft, floaty shape without you feeling squeezed in. You can pick an invisible zip or a faux-shirred back for the dress and top so if you’re not in a “zip mood,” you can skip it completely. Plus, it comes with three different cup sizes up to a cup size I, so you’re way more likely to get that perfect fit without loads of adjustments. Many people can go bra free wearing Poppy which is just magical isn't it? There’s even a fitting guide that walks you through shaping the bust and waist, step by step.
Honestly, whether you make it as a cute co-ord or a standalone dress, you’ll keep reaching for this pattern. You’re going to have so much fun sewing this one and you'll feel confident wearing it too!
And when you make it, please tag #thepoppypattern so I can swoon over it!
