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: PDF : 34 to 52 – Paper : 36 to 46
Seam allowances: Included
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. If you prefer a ready-to-cut pattern, try the pdf version as pieces do not overlap with each other.
Size 36 to 46. See sizing guide below.
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

| Fabrics and notions | 34-36 | 38-40 | 42-44 | 46-48 | 50-52 |
| A, E, F & G bodice, 55″ wide fabric | 7/8 | 7/8 | 1 | 13/4 | 13/4 |
| A, E, F & G bodice, 43″ wide fabric | 15/8 | 15/8 | 15/8 | 13/4 | 13/4 |
| B, 55″ wide fabric | 2 | 21/8 | 21/4 | 17/8 | 17/8 |
| C, 55″ wide fabric | 11/4 | 11/4 | 13/8 | 13/8 | 13/8 |
| C, 43″ wide fabric | 11/2 | 11/2 | 15/8 | 13/4 | 17/8 |
| D, 55″ wide fabric | 23/8 | 23/8 | 21/2 | 21/2 | 21/2 |

| B, C, D, E, F et G, Drawstring or tie | 11/4 | 13/8 | 11/2 | 11/2 | 15/8 |
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.
