In the mood for summer and looking for a fun and easy sewing project? May we present you Billie and Finn! This pattern includes a top and shorts perfect for sunny days or your well-deserved holiday in the sun! Billie is a fun, loose top with a V-shaped neckline. The short, grown-on sleeves are finished with a large cuff. Finn shorts has topstitched pockets and an elastic in the waistband. You can also just pull the elastic through the back, so the front waistband stays nicely flat. You can add a trim at the hem for a more dressed look, but you can make Finn just as well without all the extras for a fast and super easy project!

This is a paper pattern. The pattern includes a hard copy of the pattern sheet and sewing instructions. The pattern pieces on the pattern sheet are overlapping and printed recto-verso. The pattern is in English, Dutch and French.
