Yes!  I have a new pattern to share with all of you!  It's the Morrison Top and Dress PDF Pattern!  This easy to sew sleeveless top or dress pattern has a scoop neck and pleated bodice. The dress has an elastic waist and side pockets (of course pockets!). And both can be made in either knit or woven fabric. The pattern package comes with full color, illustrated instructions, tiled pattern and copy shop file.  It comes in sizes 4-18 and sells for $10!

This pattern came out of a gap I had in my own closet.  I was in desperate need of tops that were as easy to wear as a t-shirt but a little more elevated.  As I was designing this I realized I could add the option of making it in a woven and then would also have a versatile and comfortable shell.  Then I just kept going and added the dress. I can tell you I live in these dresses especially because I work at home and want something that's comfortable but isn't sweatpants!  Uh-hem!  I just pull it over my head, add a necklace and I'm good to go!

If you're new to sewing this is a great pattern for you because it's easy to sew and easy to fit. Start with the top as your first project because it only has three pattern pieces then move on to the dress as your second project.  And if you're a seasoned sewist you can use this pattern as a quick wardrobe builder and as a great basic to be creative with.  You can add piping to the pockets (one tester did this and it's adorable!), change the bodice pleats to gathers, add a drawstring with eyelets and a tie...the options are endless.  One of my goals as a designer is to create affordable AND versatile patterns that can be used over and over again!

I had some wonderful testers that helped me with the Morrison Pattern and I'll be sharing their makes soon along with some tutorials on making this your own. 

​I really hope you enjoy it!
