Introducing the Wattle skirt!

Megan Nielsen Wattle skirt sewing pattern // modular pattern with two mix and match waistband options and four skirt options!

A special skirt by very popular demand

I’m so thrilled to tell you more about how the Wattle skirt pattern came to be – because all of you (yes you!) in the sewing community are the ones who gave me the idea for this pattern!

Ever since the release of my Flint pants pattern, the sewing community has shown it so much love and I’ve been thrilled to see it become a wardrobe staple for so many people. That crossover side closure really is so special and unique and we’ve received countless requests for a skirt pattern that includes a similar closure. So many requests that we knew we had to make you something really amazing.

Enter Wattle!! A very special skirt pattern with hidden crossover closure at the side seams. One of our pattern testers very accurately call this an entire wardrobe of skirts – which is probably a good indication of how much is packed into this pattern!

Introducing the Floreat dress & top!

Megan Nielsen Floreat dress & top sewing pattern // jammed packed with included options this pattern can be sewn in woven or knit fabrics, includes multiple facings, sleeves, and hemline options.

Asymmetrical dress or top jammed packed with all the options

I went absolutely completely over the top nuts with this pattern and I’m very very excited about all the options! Floreat is an asymmetrical dress or blouse that can be made from woven or knit fabrics. You can make so much with this pattern that I could honestly write an essay about all the possible variations. We limited ourselves to 4 “views” but really with the knit pattern pieces it’s over 8. At least.

This design actually began about a number of years ago, and as time went on I kept thinking of more I could add to it! The idea for this pattern comes from my love of wearing fitted dresses with interesting details, but wanting to feel comfortable. I wanted a dress that could do both. Loose and fitted. With minimal seams to really let the fabric shine. Be comfortable and look effortlessly chic at the same time. Is it possible? I think so, and I’m really excited to tell you more about this pattern!
