I have been having a browse through the shops and there does seem to be a trend towards neutrals this season which is kind of dull but don't let that put you off! Here are some free patterns you can sew at home that match the trends and will leave you feeling fabulous this summer.
Only patterns with a wide size range have been included for this video. For reference I have a 43" hip.
It goes without saying that free patterns are a way to harvest your email address. I always recommend setting up a separate email address for all your crafting patterns. It makes it easier to find then as well.
