Carnaby – PDF Sewing Pattern (sizes 16–28)

A simple shift dress with just enough features to keep things interesting, Carnaby is the perfect palette for playing with pattern and colour. With separate skirt and bodice pieces, you can easily create a striking colour block effect or keep it subtle with just a pop of contrast in the pockets. This is a super wearable dress inspired by the a-line shifts of the 1960s, brought up-to-date with contemporary touches.

Carnaby comes in two variations: with or without short sleeves (View A is sleeveless; View B has sleeves). The dress is finished with neck facings and closes with an exposed zip at the centre-back, complete with simple zip guard. The instructions are comprehensive, so it doesn’t matter if you’ve never tackled an exposed zip before – you’ll enjoy it!

Suitable fabrics

The Bees are back in town! Did you catch the first The Bees are back in town! Did you catch the first episode of the new season Sewing Bee last night? We were so excited to see the contestants sewing a Camden-like skirt in the very first round! Those minis were amazing, such a great start to the season! And what better excuse to share this Camden Skirt @laura.sews.style made 💜 We love the 70s feel Laura created by pairing the skirt with the new waistcoat pattern from @newcrafthouse (and yes, this outfit is so good they've shared it too!)
