Tilly and the Buttons - Cleo Sewing Pattern

Great for beginners and bang on-trend, Cleo is simple to sew, with no fiddly zips and minimal fitting required – hooray! Make it dungaree-style with buckles, or as a pinafore with button fastenings. Choose from mini length or knee length with optional centre-front split, patch pockets on front or back, and optional contrast topstitching.

Our teen sewers have loved making this up. Don't forget to get your buckles and buttons from our haberdashery page.
