LIVERPOOL SHIRT, TUNIC, SHORT & LONG DRESS sewing pattern
Designed by Amy Butler. From the pattern:
Young and fresh as the music, fashion, and friends I’ve enjoyed during many great trips to England! At ease with jeans or dolled up as a dress, the Liverpool is a favorite of mine because it is as comfortable as it is cool. 4 hem lengths, 4 sleeve lengths and a versatile belt provide many great ways to combine and customize your style.
