Axel comes in a variety of different hem finishes, including a flowy handkerchief hem and a midi length version with a slit that can be worn on either the front or back.  There’s also a lovely knee length version with the added embellishment of on-trend hip sashes.

The pattern comes with a cropped version, a full length version, two different neckline finishes, three sleeve lengths, and two different patch pockets, so opportunities for variation and personalisation are endless! Alice made a long-sleeved, cropped Briar last year - to see her gorgeous creation click here. Continue reading →
