I'm so pleased with how this turned out. The fit is great, I adore the higher neckline and all the small finishing details really make the difference. I used a 100% linen fabric and my only disappointment is that I didn't make it earlier in the Summer.

Lovely pattern to sew. Instructions very clear. Size was pretty accurate (I'm a size 10). Lovely shape. It was easy to run up a couple of top and trouser combos, one in linen and one in double gauze. Recommend overlocking all pattern pieces before sewing. Great Silversaga pattern design.

I brought this pattern during the Sewing Weekender and I’ll be honest I brought it more for the sake of it than actually thinking I would make it.
However, I needed a quick small bag for a day out and decided that this would be a good one for scarps and holy smokes I love it so much and it is now my go to grab bag when I’m heading out the door.

It was so much fun to make and it’s the perfect size, it’s literally the Goldilocks of bags. I will be making more and I really can’t recommend it enough. Everyone will be getting one this year for Christmas.

I love how quickly this top comes together, if your a speedy sewist you can make it in under an hour. It’s also nice and oversized so minimal fitting is needed.
This is the perfect scrap buster/sewing cleanser/mojo boosting project. You’ll make one and then make so many more because they fill the perfect wardrobe gap

I didn't think I was going to fall for the tuna / fruit / salad theme in fabric this summer but then I saw these gorgeous colours in a cotton jersey from Sew Me Sunshine.
The Fibre Mood Soraya was a good vehicle for the display and came together in an afternoon. I did buy the red tape rather than struggling to turn a self piece
Now, I'm off to make a salade Niçoise!

Some time ago in a conversation on social media, there was a discussion about collating a core collection of, maybe, twenty patterns. I said that I could do that but would have to try out about 1000 patterns in the process.
La Chemisette would be one of my keepers. It's a straight forward, casual shirt with short sleeves, no collar stand and an open neck. The long back is great for my scoliosis. I don't yet need to do the forward round back adjustment on this one.
Quick and easy and capable of many different looks. I made this one in a short length of batik fabric with a big border design, purchased off the end of a roll in a shop in Galle in Sri Lanka.

This Atlas shirt did go through several iterations to get it where I wanted it to be. I like the detail of the long pockets but with the openings towards the centre they are more of a decorative feature than particularly practical. I did think I wanted pockets I could get my hands into so I cut it longer and wider and added small pouches. It was a bit hard to get into and lost the charm of its shape so I then I cut it shorter and added cutaway pockets which skim the hem. It's still a bit longer than the original but has more of its intended appearance. I did sew the collar the wrong way out but I think that looks as if it were intended.
It's a well cut and easy to follow pattern; I'm amassing a collection of French Navy pieces.
The excellent fabric is a thick cotton twill bought spring 2026 from Ditto in Brighton.

I’ve made 2 dresses- one midi, one one length. I found I could size down 2 sizes. The first dress was VERY spacious but perfectly wearable. I plan to make more in more summer fabric

Really keen to have a go at a zero waste pattern. Easy to follow instructions and the dress came together very quickly given that it is 2 rectangles.
Not suited to my body shape so I hacked it into a top with a shirring elastic waist. I wear it a lot now

I have made several of these, such fun to make and use up scraps of fabric and batting.
Pattern was free via the Fold Line 12 Days of Christmas

Good instructions, no alterations needed re. sizing for me. Easy make.
I’m not sure such statement sleeves are for me but great pattern

In lightweight cotton/linen these sewed up quickly and easily. I didn’t add the bows as I’m planning to wear them under dresses or as pyjama bottoms.
Clear instructions and good diagrams

These are such well constructed culottes. The pattern has a real attention to detail and each step is photographed. I'm really happy with the outcome, they fit like a dream- no adjustments required.

This pattern fitted together beautifully and the video made the instructions particularly straightforward. I’ve made it twice in two sizes now and both turned out well. I think the top stitching option on my second version was particularly successful, so would recommend this option as opposed to understitching. .

I made mine in a merchant and Mills green/pink gingham. Absolutely love it. Idid find the video tutorial useful but also a bit time consuming with keep backwards and forwarding. There are written instructions but as a visual person they were not enough. I love the under arm split sleeve. I love that i can turn it around and wear as a round neck and tie the sides differently. I already have some more linen from Merchant & Mills to make another. All in all it was a breeze to make.
