I AM - Helios Top, Skirt, Trousers, Dress and Jumpsuit Sewing Pattern

I Am Hélios, a sewing pattern with seven versions. With me you can make an entire summer wardrobe.

I feature a top with adjustable straps, a straight neckline, bust darts and a slightly a-line cut.

I can also be sewn as shorts, a skirt and trousers. These three versions have the same elasticated waistband with a drawstring. My skirt is a full circle skirt with Italian pockets. My shorts length is mid-thigh and also features Italian pockets. As for my trousers, they open elegantly at the front of the leg as you walk, and are finished with a rounded shape at the hem.

The bottoms can also be sewn to the top to create three additional garments: a playsuit, a dress and a jumpsuit. Four very simple versions, perfect for beginners and three combinations for a synonymously chic, casual and timeless style.

Level: Simple

Sizes: 36 to 46 (see sizing chart below)

Seam allowances: Included

Collection: I AM Brilliant

All seam allowances are included in the pattern.

The pattern is enclosed in an envelope. It contains the sewing pattern along with a step-by-step illustrated explanation guide.

The different pieces overlap with each other so you will need to trace the pattern on paper.

VERSIONS

1 top + 3 bottoms = 7 garments – We love this kind of math!
On top of being able to sew the top and bottoms as separates, you can combine them to make a playsuit, a jumpsuit and a dress. With this pattern you will be able to sew an entire summer wardrobe.

A: Top; B: Skirt; C: Shorts; D: Trousers; E: Dress; F: Playsuit; G: Jumpsuit

For versions E, F & G, we have broken down the yardages for the bodice and for the bottom of the garment. Calculate the total yardage for versions E, F & G by adding the fabric required for the bodice and the bottom of the garment in your size.

It isn’t possible to use a 55″ (140cm) wide fabric for a full circle skirt in sizes 46 to 52. Therefore, the skirt for those sizes features a lovely volume but isn’t a full circle skirt.
