Skullduggery Dress, Tee & Sweatshirt

An easy to sew dress, tee & sweatshirt for all seasons.

Fun & versatile, this dress/tee comes in both long and short sleeve options. Mix a knit front with a woven back (recommended cotton jersey T shirting front) and contrasting neck, sleeve and hembands. The dolman sleeve makes it super quick and easy to sew - and no, you don't need an overlocker/serger.

The pattern comes with a range of applique templates - entirely optional - but fun to sew on a sleeve, back or front of your garment.

FABRIC

Please refer to the FABRIC REQUIREMENT CHART as one of the last images on this product listing. You can magnify this image if viewing it on a mobile phone whilst in a fabric store.

KNIT front: Cotton T shirting is perfect
WOVEN back : Most light to mid weight woven fabrics will suit this garment (viscose rayon, silk, polyester crepe, cotton and linen)

We recommend rayon, silk, polyester, light weight linen, cotton and cotton blends for summer. Heavier weight fabric and long sleeve options is perfect for cooler temperatures.  We also recommend putting the jersey knit fabric on the front (to allow for more movement/stretch over the bust) and the woven on the back.

Sample images:

Dress: 100% cotton jersey front, rayon back and cotton ribbing for bands

Long sleeve top (mid weight): Blue/red striped sleeve with 100% light weight cotton jersey knit front, woven rayon back and 95% cotton 5% elastane sleeves and neckband (curved turn up hem). 

Short sleeve tee: Mid weight jersey cotton front & back with embellished cross (rayon print). Turn up straight hem. 

Long sleeve top (heavy weight): The blue long sleeve (winter weight) is shown with a 100% heavier weight jersey cotton knit and 95% cotton 5% elastane sleeves and neckband.

2. PAH Pattern file (PAH=Print at home)
For printing in A4 or US Letter on a home printer. Printing at home is the most cost-effective, and sticking your pattern tiles together to make your full size pattern is easy. Further information for printing at home can be found in our Resources section here. 

3. AO Pattern file
AO is a large scale file designed to be printed at a Print Copy Shop. You cannot print this on your home printer as it is too big. If you choose to use this large file you will pay extra to have it printed but you do not have to stick anything together.

You can use the ADOBE LAYERS FEATURE to open the PAH pattern file and print only the size you need (and eliminate the "noise" of the unwanted sizes).
