005- Suede Trench
Open Source - Zero Waste - Digital Sewing kit
CHARACTERISTICS
Suede Trench with two patch pocket and a removable belt.
No lining, no fusing, no facing & no edge finishing.
This pattern is not conventional.
It was designed in 2018 by Mylène L'Orguilloux @milan_avjc with the first intention to provide alternatives for home sewers to better optimize fabric consumption and reduce the waste usually produced when cutting a garment. It therefore results in a rectangle jigsaw-like pattern where all the pieces fit together without producing any fabric scraps.
SKILL LEVEL
This sewing pattern is suitable for beginner sewers and above.
It comes with a sew-along video recorded in French - subtitles in english.
Before downloading the digital kit, you can watch the video tutorial on youtube.
SIZE RANGE
This digital kit is not size inclusive as it only comes in 7 sizes. To choose the one that will fit you best, please refer to the hips measurements below. This design is loose fit. If you're hesitant between two sizes, choose the smallest. Clarisse (the model) is 1m70 tall, she wears a size 38.
We aim to revise this pattern and develop a wider size range. Hopefully this will be possible in 2022.
If you're interested in getting involved in pattern or fit testing, please get in touch.
