Peppermint Patterns – Instructions

Issue 61 / Peppermint Tansey Top

With her boxy fit and carefree flair, you’ll be reaching for the Peppermint Tansey Top the second she’s done on the clothesline. Prepare to make multiples as she’s an easy sew (no buttons or zips!). In fact, confident stitchers could whip one up in less than two hours. You’re going to love the simple-but-stylish little details on this soon-to-be-staple slipover, like the wide turned-up cuffs and that sweet dipped hem at the back.

Issue 60 / Peppermint Bronte Bathers

Made in collaboration with Sharon and Justine Cowie, the marvellous mother-daughter duo behind Swim Style Patterns, the Bronte Bathers are a terrific two-piece bikini perfect for beach-ready babes (which is all of us). With high-waisted bottoms and a twist-front top, she’s the perfect combination of fun in the sun and supportive coverage – you can even omit the twist tie and create a bandeau top!

Issue 58 / Peppermint Rozelle Slip

Slip into something a little more comfortable with the Peppermint Rozelle Slip. Made in collaboration with Stitched for Good’s Annie Robinson, the Peppermint Rozelle Slip is a bias-cut beauty – a sophisticated slip dress with wide-set straps to support those whose busty bounty cannot forgo the support of a brassiere. Gathers in the bust and smart darts in the back create a shapely, self-lined bodice, and the bias-cut skirt drapes like a dream.
