The simple silhouette of this outfit by Julia Claridge is ideal for spring and summer wardrobes. Sewn in a beautifully bold cotton print with a flattering curved hem, it is both easy to stitch and perfect for the season. This is a great first garment for novice stitchers – the cutting and construction are easy with just basic darts to master.
