How To Make the Hera Pattern
The Hera pattern consists of a fully lined puff sleeve, tie neck blouse and a curved yoke, gathered skirt with pockets, both with elasticised waistbands.
The Hera comes as a two piece set that can also transformed into an all-in-one dress and a semi attached dress.

RECOMMENDED FABRIC AND SUPPLIES
Fabric - The Hera pattern can be made in any variety of fabric. We always suggest a beautiful linen. Printed fabrics look particular striking as they highlight the seam details by manipulating the print direction.
Thread - You will need one large spool of thread for sewing and four spools of thread for overlocking.
Tools - You can use a domestic sewing machine. If desired, you can use a domestic overlocking machine to neaten your raw edges. You can also use a loop turner to help thread your elastic.
Notions - You’ll also need a 3 metres of 1.2cm wide elastic, iron, ironing board, sharp pair of scissors and pins.
