Love it in denim

This is a great pattern, and I found links for back belt as an add on via Thread theory web site along with a blog sew along. Will be making more in this style.

I whipped this up on my overlocker in next to no time, it’s a great pattern. The pattern piece layout given isn’t particularly economical with the fabric so I managed to get the long sleeve and cowl out of 2m of fabric in size 16 by laying it out a little differently. It is a little short in the body for me (I’m 1.73m/5’8”) but it’s still a very flattering piece. I plan to make one with the other neckline too!

What to say about this dress firstly the sizing is generous I know it’s supposed to be a loose fit but based on my measurements I cut the medium if I make again I’ll cut the small .
Very good instructions with coloured pics as always with Tessuti there is also a sleeve extension pattern you can buy as an add on . Love that you can wear this with a top underneath or more like a sundress . Never worn such a loose fitting dress I see on others and I love but it sure if it suits me , maybe I’ll take some of the fullness out of the skirt .
Love the stitch details on neck pockets and armholes look really professional
The reason I only marked it 4 star is because I believe the sleeves should be included and not a a a extra cost or if the extension pack offered several sleeve styles

Loved making this pattern. Great instructions, easy to follow if you are a beginner. The best bit is the option to customise depending on what pockets you use and where to put them!
I used denim scraps for my first jacket and it won’t be my last!

I made this out of some needlecord, (didn't bother with the tie!) it's a really comfortable dress and love that it has pockets.
I struggled a bit to get the placket straight, but I think that's down to me, rather than the pattern.
This is a dress I shall get a lot of wear out of.

I loved making this out of stuff from my stash. Tracing the pieces was fun and they all fitted together. And I learned to make tucks although they are facing in, not out. Good opportunity to practise top stitching too.

A fantastic quick sew. Even better because its a free pattern. I downloaded it and printed it at the weekend. Cut out this morning and made up at lunchtime. Super easy and will be a great addition to my spring wardrobe.

Fabric a 1.1m french terry remnant from Clothkits.

Even though it's one of my staples, I didn't know the Remy raglan has a gathered sleeve extension which you can download free at The Fold Line. So you may see another before long. It's a quick and easy pattern with a bias bound neckline, made here with Thai cotton from the Chinese market in Chiang Mai. I cut trousers too and didn't have quite enough length to make the turn ups for the sleeve which isn't a problem.

It's a lovely pattern with a lot of detail, including proper cuffs with three buttons. I haven't made any notes on the envelope which suggests that it was a straightforward make. Do check the length. I thought I wanted it longer so I added four inches but it didn't suit me so I cut eight off again and I'm 5ft 8.

This was a simple jacket to construct, and it came together relatively quickly. I preferred to fully line this jacket, but would consider making an unlined mid-season or summer version with Hong Kong seams in a lighter weight fabric such as corduroy, linen or denim.

The jacket is comfortable and loose to wear, allowing plenty of room for sweaters and warm winter layers.

I am now planning to make a further jacket for the spring, next time I will go down a size and lengthen it slightly.

This pattern is great for beginners as it is easy to construct, especially if you leave it unlined.

The fabric quantities are fairly generous, and so I was able to make a skirt to wear with the jacket from the left over fabric.

This jacket is versatile, and is great worn casually with jeans, or more formally over a dress or as a suit with matching skirt or trousers, depending on your fabric choice.

I was inspired by the choice of denim patterns in order to do some stash busting. It's a great magazine produced by some interesting people. It was the first time I had traced patterns. I bought Swedish paper and enjoyed the process, finding it mindful and therapeutic.
I made the Carmy jacket out of a variety of scraps and off cuts; added a yoke lining and lined cuffs and collar stand with lighter fabric. I did need to check out seam allowances because they are wider where flat fell seams are involved. Ended up with the sleeves not fitting because of this and had to work around. Then I went and cut through the end of a buttonhole. Never did that before so will have to embellish. Here, it just needs some more top stitching. Have further plans ....

A very simple wardrobe staple top , very easy to make great for beginners, several options of styles .
If your starting out it’s such a easy pattern too follow
I made this one but added more volume to the sleeves and added 3 pleats either side .

The Pogonip reminds me of the fleece tops my parents had in the late 80s/early 90s. It brings a level of nostalgia that I find very appealing!

I made my Pogonip from double sided quilted cotton which means it's nice and toasty, if my machine objected slightly to the thickness in some parts.

I omitted the pockets because I didn't have enough fabric to mess up welt pockets. For me, the top is just as great without them.

A great pencil style skirt with interesting angled pockets. I decided to emphasise that feature with a change in the direction of the corduroy fabric I used. The instructions were clear , all the parts came together well and i think the pattern is suitable for a beginner.
