Introducing our new Daytrip Sewing Pattern Collection

Introducing our new Daytrip Sewing Pattern Collection

The days are getting longer and we are dreaming about the type of summer days that feel endless. We wanted to create a mini capsule with everything you need for a full day of adventure. The Daytrip Collection is comprised of the The Beachcomber Jacket, the Rambler Pants, and the Old Coast Raglan. These patterns are great for camping, exploring, or just chilling! In this blog post we will be sharing more information about each patterns, the size charts, fabric suggestions, and more! Let's get stuck in. 

The patterns are drafted using a cis-male body, but the styles look good on a variety of gender expressions. The size chart is a little different to our usual Friday Patterns, but they all still go up to a 60" chest. Please see the size chart below for reference and always check your measurements against the size chart, and finished garment measurements so that you can work out what size would fit best, depending on how much ease you like in a garment. 

They are designed to work like a capsule collection, to style with each other. We are always conscious during the design process to make our patterns as versatile and modular as possible, so that depending on the fabric choice you can create items that fit into your lifestyle. Whether they are for fun summer outdoor activities, work projects, or something more formal or arty, these pieces will become work horses in your wardrobe.
