About the event
Get ready to sew your new summer go-to: a breezy wide-strap maxi dress that takes you from sunrise strolls to sunset cocktails.
Peppermint Magazine teamed up with Perth-based patternmaker Lauren Boyle of Elbe Textiles to bring you this beautiful pattern.
It features subtle side splits and a statement elasticated back, making it the ultimate day-to-night staple.
Finishing seams like a pro for a polished, boutique-style look. Hello French Seams! Yes, even the pockets 😉
Grab the digital file and—for $12.99—we’ll print your AO copy, no home printer needed. (just add to the ticket, it's our cue to print one for you to pick up)
As you pin, stitch and flip fabric, your brain rewards you with a mini dopamine boost (making something gorgeous feels as great as wearing it). Plus, cheering on fellow makers keeps the fun rolling.
