The Fabric Fix Kit :The TATB Frida EDITION - NO PATTERN INCLUDED

£50.00

NO PATTERN INCLUDED IN THIS KIT

From The Fabric Obsession—because effortless style deserves a little playful magic.

The Frida Blouse Kit is your shortcut to shirt‑making joy: a beautifully curated bundle built around the timeless Frida pattern, complete with everything you need to sew a relaxed, modern blouse that feels as good as it looks. And because we believe sewing should feel like a treat, we’ve added our signature TFO twist—contrasting details that let you personalise your make without the overwhelm.

Each kit pairs a main viscose‑linen with a coordinating accent fabric for the collar, yoke, and patch pocket. Choose one colourway or mix all three for a truly one‑of‑a‑kind Frida. Even though it’s a kit, no two makes will ever be the same—and that’s exactly how we like it.

✨ What’s Inside

  • Enough viscose‑linen fabric for the largest size

  • A coordinating accent fabric for collar, yoke, and patch pocket

  • Matching thread and interfacing

  • Buttons sized for your chosen version

  • A finishing label for that boutique touch

  • A sweet treat (because snacks are essential)

  • A surprise gifts—just for fun

  • A guided sew‑along video to support you every step of the way

✨ Your Colourway Choices

All three options use our soft, breathable viscose‑linen—perfect for easing into spring with drape, movement, and a touch of texture.

  • Option 1: '“Frida Kahlo‑ur Pop”:A joyful mash‑up of bold fuchsia and rainbow swirls—artsy, bright, and unapologetically extra. Perfect for makers who want their shirt to feel like wearable sunshine.

  • Option 2: “Blue‑tiful Frida” Soft, serene, and blooming with quiet charm. A gentle play on “beautiful” that captures the calm, spring‑ready palette with a little wink.

  • Option 3: “Wild About Frida”A fierce, flirty twist on a classic shirt. Pink leopard brings the sass, black accents bring the polish—together they’re pure TFO attitude.

Choose one, choose all three, or mix and match your accents—your Frida, your rules.
