Sewing patterns can sometimes afflict people with sewing-pattern fear. I've seen it and it's not pretty.
In an attempt to lure some of you would be sewing folk out from behind the dressmaker's dummy I have found you a pattern that requires no fiddly cutting out whatsoever. Praise the square!
This simple but effective Museum Tunic pattern, from Anna Maria Horner, is made entirely from humble squares of fabric. The whole thing is utterly square until you get your sewing mitts on it. Its shaping is all down to how you stitch it.
You'll have your seamstress badge squared away in no time (sorry).
