Eight colour options for our sewing kits

We're so excited to offer you eight gorgeous Tansen Top Pattern and Fabric Kits, with a variety of colours and patterns so you can find just the right one for your style.

When we were putting these kits together, we used the idea of colour theory to help guide our choices. It provided a helpful framework for selecting the colour combinations. To make sure we offered beautiful and wearable options, we even collaborated with a colour and style expert to develop kits within the 'Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter' colour ranges. If you'd like to learn a bit more about colour theory, you can click here.

For each season, you'll discover two stunning options: one featuring a beautifully plain fabric for a timeless look, and another showcasing a delightful patterned fabric to add a bit of your own personality to your handmade wardrobe.

  • "Understanding what suits me best has meant that over time, my wardrobe has become very cohesive and therefore more sustainable. I also feel much more confident in the clothes that I wear. "

    Louise

  • "Knowing my colours gives me a manageable choice, making clothing options narrower and easier to navigate"
