We've been fabric shopping...! Though not for ourselves this time - instead we've been stocking up for our latest Charlotte Skirt and Anna Dress Sewing Kits.

The Charlotte Skirt Sewing Kit - £40 with sewing pattern and £35 without sewing pattern

This season's Charlotte Skirt Sewing Kit features 3m/3.25yds of a deliriously cosy blue & burgundy plaid brushed cotton, plus all the usual extras:

• Charlotte Skirt pattern
• tote bag
• hook & eye
• needle and matching thread
• woven name label
• invisible zipper

The Anna Dress Sewing Kit - £50 with sewing pattern and £45 without sewing pattern

Considering all the love we've already seen for this pattern, we're reeeeaalllly excited about our Anna Dress Sewing Kits! The deliciously soft cotton fabric we've chosen for this first batch is a universally flattering, dainty floral in blues and greens, of which you'll get a generous 3.5m/3.8yds of 60" or 150cm width fabric. Extras include:

• Anna Dress pattern
• tote bag
• hook & eye
• needle and matching thread
• woven name label
• invisible zipper

These kits make wonderful gifts for beginner and intermediate dressmakers alike, and are ideal for first-time sewists looking for the perfect first project. Not only will you end up with a beautiful handmade garment, you'll also be learning some indispensable sewing skills along the way, such as:

• Sewing and finishing a basic seam
• Stitching darts
• Inserting an invisible zipper
• Hand sewing
• Hemming

For extra support during the making process, you have unlimited access to both our Charlotte Skirt Sewalong and our Anna Dress Sewalong, and we're always on hand to help out - just holla at us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

And don't forget to show us what you've made!
