This was my first go at coat making and I'm so pleased that I picked this pattern! The instructions were very clear and well written with supplementary photos. I would say that the coat does come up on the smaller side, so if you want your small person to wear a jumper under the coat, you should probably size up. I would also suggest that if you're using a heavier coating fabric (I used a Harris tweed) you will probably need to grade your seams to reduce bulk. I did this, but it wasn't totally obvious from the instructions if it was necessary. (It would probably be obvious to more experienced sewists) That very small caveat aside, this is one of the best patterns I've ever used. Really impressed and it's made me feel brave enough to try to make a coat for myself. I will definitely be trying patterns from the same designer for my daughter! Fabric used was a Harris tweed and the lining was a liberty print cotton.

Easy make. However, I prefer sewing on the machine and then going to the overlocker.
I’m 5ft and a round UK size 8. I made a size 2 the cropped version. I lengthened the ribbing waistband.
I used sweatshirt fabric from clothkits and ribbing from Minerva.

I love this pattern and have made it for myself and a few pairs as gifts. The instructions are very good and the fit is so comfortable. The details in this pattern make the final product feel really special and high end.

It took a while to put in all the pockets and zippers, but it is my most worn sewing project! I made it in this silly horse printed fabric, but I love the idea of cutting all the peices in different coloured fleece.

Great pattern for a basic button up that I will make over and over! The pattern fits my boyfriend perfectly with no modifications, and for myself I just needed to shorten the sleeves a few inches.

I finished making these amazing trousers for my son’s 21st birthday the day after tomorrow. He really likes very wide leg trousers so grabbed this pattern when I came across it. I made the mistake of trying them on. I love them so much I kind of hope he doesn’t like them so I get to keep them! 😆

True to size, with easy to follow instructions

Making the Yanaka jacket in a snuggly fleece worked out very well as a post-Christmas make! It didn’t take long at all, as I missed out the additional elements I put on the other ones I made (the base pattern doesn’t include pockets or lining but I have put these into the others made). The gussets on the arms, plus the facings, work very well for colour blocking and I feel like I am wearing some very upmarket activewear, or perhaps some very cosy work wear.

My second version of this pattern is in a Merchant and Mills quilted jacquard (found on Marketplace for an absolute bargain price).
Sewn in a size 12, french seamed (necessary with this fabric. I extended the sleeve length again and then found it was too tight, so I removed the cuff (same fabric) and found just enough rib in my stash of a similar colour and added that instead. It was just the solution I needed and this has been regularly worn this winter.
A quick sew (when things go to plan).

I've made 2 pairs of these in a twill and this third pair in a stripe denim.
These are view B which has a flat front and patch pockets (rather than welt) in a size 10, I didn't make any adjustments and am really happy with the fit and feel of them.

Acquired the pattern during the 12 days of Christmas promo then the fabric in Madeira. It's a traditional design.

It's a great project. I placed the pockets differently to make use of the stripes with two crossways on the outside. As it's thick, lined, interfaced and piped, there was some bulk and I had to hand finish at the bottom corners.

Typical me, start with the most challenging fabric for a beginner, but I have really enjoyed making this as part of the shirt making course. Easy instructions to follow and with the video I could rewind as often as I required. Now onto the unisex shirt

This was my first attempt at shirring and the advice was really good, I'm delighted with how it turned out. I made size 20 and i was very worried that it would be too tight around the waist - something you really wouldn't be able to tell until very late in the make. However, it fits great, it is very true to size. I made it in navy suiting so it would do for work (with a top underneath). As the previous reviewer said, it stays up well, due to the tie at the back. The pattern instructions were good and it came together well.

I chose to make this out of faux fur which was probably a mistake cos I didn't realise how slippy the material would be so it meant a lot more pins than I'd normally use! The instructions were very clear apart from when you sandwich the zip between the lining and facing as it didn't say repeat on the other side - which I know is very obvious but couldn't work it out at first. Also I personally like a lining that's not flapping around so I sewed in the dip on the bottom of the bag to secure the lining to the facing. The bag is a great roomy size and plenty big enough for a weekend away. I will definitely be making more (but not with faux fur.....)

Just waiting to be hemmed! I made these from French Terry in a medium size.
The download from the Foldline includes a useful guide to which iterations of the pattern require seam allowances to be added. Seam allowances are included in the Foldline printout. The guide also specifies that they are 1cm. The pattern instructions did not include that information.
I like trousers to reach my waist. The rise was short. I added 5cm in the back and 3cm at the front, remembering to include the waistband and back yoke in the calculation.
It was an interesting make with the tucks in the side panels requiring careful measurement. The all elasticated waistband is easy.
I would only add that it is best to finish the straight pocket edges before sewing them on. I know it isn't actually necessary to finish jersey but it did stop the edges rolling up.
I feel very trendy.
