Description

The Lillian is a versatile pattern that can easily take you from a day at the beach to wedding guest chic. With three strap options, front darts for shaping, and inseam pockets, it is sure to make its way into your tried-and-true list.

Named after the road where it all started, The Lillian was originally drafted and taught as a tank top pattern that confident-beginner sewers could accomplish in a one-day workshop. As the samples hung in the shop and received more and more positive attention, we felt inspired to develop it further and create a gathered dress variation.

Thank you to our students and customers for encouraging us to release The Sewing Club's very first sewing pattern.
