A traditional workwear boilersuit with a gentler feminine fit. Thelma is a wardrobe masterpiece, loose enough to fit all shapes and can be interpreted in many different types of cloths, so make it your own.
Thelma will take time to put together, but make it well and wear it absolutely everywhere. Skill level – experienced.
All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless stated otherwise and are included in the pattern.
Fabric Suggestions – medium weight wovens e.g. 5 – 8oz denims & linens . If you are an experienced sewer you could try tencel/linen, corduroy, more floppy linens, prints and checks.
Pattern Errata -Front leg (4) it says on the pattern piece ‘cut here for right side’ should say ‘left’. However the instructions are correct.
The tack on the under arm sleeve (at the cuff) the sizing is the wrong way round.
You will need: 18 x 14-18mm Buttons (only 16 buttons if you intend of just using one button at the cuff) 2 x Matching thread 70cm Interfacing

I recently emailed Maaike to ask if she would recommend this pattern being made from the chunky cotton knit and she responded promptly and gave great advice. It was so convenient to be able to have the pattern printed in A0 size too.
Quality classic pattern.
MaaiDesigns are a favourite.
I've made three of these and absolutely love them!
The fit is great and the style goes with heaps of things.
I'm super happy with this pattern
Bought the Box dress pattern as a PDF, printed and put together to make in the washed denim.Oh boy! Pattern went together really well and directions excellent.
Fabric is gorgeous and so happy with the outcome. Have put in second order for fabric and patterns and now waiting for fabric to dry before making up. QUALITY
