      Are you ready to sew something extra special? The Flourish Dress Coat and the Bloom Jacket (pictured above). Outerwear that's equal parts period drama and real life.
Inspired by Victorian and Edwardian era coats and transformed into pieces with modern wearability, and perhaps most importantly, approachable sewing techniques that deliver beautiful results. These are truly "I can't believe I made that" projects.
Both Intermediate sews, and come with a comprehensive written and photographed instruction booklet, and a video class.
A bundle of both patterns, plus lining and collar add-on is available.

Our pattern collection is size inclusive from babies to a 72" (183cm) hip.
Welcome to Twig + Tale
Kia ora! I'm Lisa Spearman, founder of Twig + Tale. I started sewing after a devastating injury in 2008 to my right hand left me unable to perform everyday tasks and hand therapy became my life.
Though it took me weeks to finish projects that others might whip up in a nap time, the joy of creating something beautiful from such a painful experience empowered me to keep hoping, working, and creating.
Today, Twig + Tale is a flourishing small team, and a wide community. I invite you to join us on your sewing journey...
