The pattern is designed to be accessible to a wide range of skill levels, from intermediate to experienced sewers. Beginners may want to start with a simpler project first.

What type of fabric is recommended?

Where can I purchase the necessary materials?

Fabric and other materials can be purchased from fabric stores, online retailers, or Liberty London directly.

Are alterations to the pattern possible?
