Thrilled with this little top. I was a little confused with which stich to use with the sewing mach9ne. Next time i will use the overlocker for all bar the left Stan. Will definitely make again. Perfect fit.

My second time of making and still no issues. Great pair of trousers can be dressed up or down and don't need a lot of ironing in this Guthrie and Ghanian ramie linen. Will take them travelling!

As a beginner this pattern was fabulous, the instructions were really clear and easy to follow and the fit is great! I’m sure I’ll come back to this pattern over and over again

I really enjoyed making this dress and I learnt to make straps with sliders. It did feel a bit more challenging for me.I wanted to shorten the waist and that worried me as the gusset had to be adjusted to match.I watched several videos and it all turned out well so I shouldn't have spent so much time scratching my head..The marvellous thing was that Tara also has a brilliant video where she makes the dress from start to finish.She explained everything very clearly and thoroughly.I watched the video several times because it was so interesting and helpful. I think when I make it again I will shorten it as it came long on me but I have lost some height with age!.It will be super warm next winter as I chose heavy denim.I made the pockets using some spare orange linen in an attempt to reduce the weight.I would like to make the pinafore in a lighter fabric.next time.My husband took some photos but not sure if I can attach them to this review.

This book is great. The patterns are beautifully designed and there is lots of inspiration for patchwork projects! I love having it on my bookshelf, and it has helped me start using up all my scraps.

I started with the workwear jacket. The instructions aren't super detailed, so I wouldn't reccomend it as a first jacket. But the details and finishes on the jacket are stunning. I want to try the vest next!

I know barrel pants are like Marmite: I love them - and Marmite.
This is a really interesting pattern. I can imagine the enjoyment and satisfaction of designing it.
I was able to make a straight size 12 without alterations. The striped denim was from Rainbow fabrics and I cut some pieces on the bias. I did wonder whether it would be too heavy for so much drape but it highlights the shape.
The instructions are well thought through with added hints on working.
As with other Sew Liberated patterns, the pieces are marked with letters on the cutting list and plan but the letters are not transferred to the paper pieces so you have to read the names. Perhaps that is just as well as there are quite a few of them but it's easy really. Just two of everything.
The instructions warn that you should be careful to mirror the sides of the pants and I would add that it's a good thing to mark right and wrong side. I guess most people do that anyway.
And do pin the front pockets back. I had already caught both of them under the top stitching before reading that piece of advice.
I left the gap for the drawstring in the wrong place on one of the seams because the top notch is for the waistband turn. That was an easy fix.
Now I have been into town to fetch two inch elastic and something for the drawstring, these trousers are finished. I'm looking forward to wearing them.

I've made three versions of this dress now. I absolutely love it. The construction is great and the result is a flattering fit. I base all of my sewing off the finished garment sizing and making this in a 12 is bang on. I've just finished a winter version in a fine corduroy and on my first wear I've already received compliments from strangers. I can't rate it highly enough.

I've always liked the look of the Orbit bag, and I'm glad that I finally got around to making one!
I used the plain fabric version, and embroidered the front of my bag with a cherry pattern (from Bloom and Floss on Etsy). I came up with the idea after realising that Orbit's circular shape would be perfect for showing off embroidery patterns, which are often designed for circular hoops.
The instructions are very thorough. If you've never done any patchwork or quilting before, they'll tell you everything you need to know.
My outer fabric was a lightweight denim – I think it looks great with the embroidery and as the finished bag, but it made the sewing process a bit tricky because some of my seams were quite bulky. If I make another Orbit, I'd stick to quilting cotton or similar weight fabrics to make life easier.
I'd definitely recommend the Orbit pattern, and I enjoyed sewing my bag!

I made the Cloak length with a hood (naturally) in size 7-12 for my 11-year-old. It was just big enough for her, though the arm slits were a little small. That said, she loves it! As ever from Waves and Wild the instructions were great and this sewed up easily.

I've just finished my fourth pair of Bisque trousers. I've now made all the versions: shorts (not pictured), tapered and straight, all from linen or linen blends, and I have loved making and wearing all of them. With the shorts, I made a size 14 with no modifications, as a wearable toile and the fit was perfect, whereas I usually have to lengthen the crotch and/or grade sizes from waist to hip. It's the perfect trouser for me because the wide elastic waistband is secure and comfortable, but the pocket detail, back darts and front pleats add a sense of relaxed tailoring, which I like - they have a bit of style! Very enjoyable to sew - the instructions are crisp and clear, and the pocket construction is particularly satisfying (for heavier fabrics , you sew a pocket bearer from the main fabric and a lighter lining, which avoids excess bulk at the waist). The pockets are deep, roomy and neatly finished with a french seam. I can't recommend this pattern enough and am already looking forward to making a needle cord version for AW26!

I had high hopes for this pattern and it didn't disappoint! The instructions are excellent and very detailed. For me the bust is little bit roomy (I'm a B cup) so i would reduce the fabric in that area next time but other than that the fit is perfect.

This is a lovely top and on trend this summer with its short style. Instructions are easy to follow and professional, the finish is great giving it a shop-bought look. I used a yarn dyed cotton check fabric from Good Fabric.

I have made the rectangle top a number of times and I am constantly asked where I bought my top. It can look very different by changing the sleeves and using different fabrics. I am currently working on the version with a shirred waistline. The instructions initially look minimalist but there are very clear step by step you.tube instructions with every Sewing Therapy pattern. The patterns are all pdf but can be printed in the Foldline copy shop. I would thoroughly recommend this pattern and it can be completed from cutting out to sewing in 3/4 hours. Just be cautious with sizing and use measurements instead of usual shop bought clothing sizing.

I made the Landgate in Autumn 2024 and is still going strong today. This is the first time I made a piece of outerwear. I made a size S (recommended size) and shortened both the body by around an inch and the arms by around three inches. I used a dry oil cloth from Merchant and Mills. This was tricky to sew as the cloth retains pin holes so I had to be careful to pin within seam allowance and used double sided tape to temporarily stick on my patch pockets. The fabric has worn beautifully though and has really relaxed over time. This really is a fab pattern with lots of gorgeous details which you would expect from Merchant and Mills. The overall finish is professional and the instructions are very clear. My only bit of critical feedback would be that the jacket is a little bit of a wriggle to get on and off, especially with a big jumper underneath. I wouldn't recommend this pattern if you have shoulder issues or like to escape your clothes quick! Sizing up could also fix this issue.

Love the design!! I also really appreciated that there was a paper-saver version included, where you only need to print out the curved parts and cut the rectangles based on measurements!
Messed up a bunch of times (probably because my brain was fried from the current heatwave) so it took quite a bit longer than it should have, but I'm super happy with the end result.
