from 4519 reviewsMy second Atlas Overshirt in just 2 weeks!
I had leftovers of this pinstripe denim and played a game of tetris to get the pattern pieces to fit. I made use where possible of the different stripe directions and used a chambray (from the previous Atlas) for the under collar and back facing. I was a few inches short of one of the under sleeve pieces so lengthened it with a piece of pink denim.
I made style A with the button placket from style B.
This version is heavyweight compared to the chambray one and will be a great additional layer for cooler days.
I have found my new favourite blouse - the Wardrobe By Me Dukke blouse. I made the first one as a wearable toile in a cotton poplin - unintentional camouflage with my daughter’s bedroom wallpaper! The second in quick succession was in a lovely drapy twill fabric picked up from the swaps table at the Shropshire Sews sewing sewcial.
The pattern has a lovely Peter Pan collar , and some shaping at the back from a couple of darts that come down from the neckline. In both versions I took some off the length , and went for a full length sleeve in the black and white version, and more of a 3/4 sleeve in the floral.
Absolutely a pattern I would recommend, the instructions are clear and it comes together quickly.
Taylor trouser number 4 incoming. I've made these in twill (twice) and a 8oz(?) denim, these are in a heavier weight denim, I'd guess 10oz (but deadstock (Rainbow Fabrics) so no label.
I've not worn them much yet so they need to soften up but I feel like they will become another firm favourite.
Made view B, flat front, no pleat and with patch pockets.
As soon as I saw this pattern I knew it was for me. I have a Toast shirt from a clothes swap which is very similar in style and I love it, I've been searching for a pattern that meets the need and this is it.
It was straightforward to follow, I made this in a size 12, it comes up pretty loose and would be perfect for wearing a jumper underneath.
I'm not sure about the pockets on style B and how practical they would be however I'm happy with the chest patch pocket.
My next one is almost finished just need buttons.
Hopping on the Carnation Blouse trend. Based on the pattern measurements I made this in a size 12. The pattern is well written and I found it generally ok to follow. I did discover a youtube video sew along which I found really helpful, it added in a few extra tips such as gathering the sleeve head to ease it in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IgeYM5slKQ
Made in a 'test' fabric, a long stashed Seasalt cotton lawn/voile, it's a lovely weight and worked well. Looking forward to making this again in another fabric.
I love these labels, they’re a great addition to handmade items both clothes and bags.
I made this after seeing so many fun versions popping up on my social media. I’m so glad I did because I am so in love with my version.
I decided to go full cowboy and use this cow print denim fabric. I love the structure it gives.
It was a really fun project, I love working with a more stable fabric but summer doesn’t allow for that as much so I like this pattern because it allows for structured summer sewing.
The instructions are great and the fit is spot on. I would like to make another version in a shorting weight cotton because I think that would work so well.
I have made 3 versions of this pattern so far and I have no intention of stopping.
I didn’t think I was a skirt person until I made this, it came together beautifully and works so well with so many of my outfits.
I used a midweight linen I had dyed pink and it has the perfect amount of drape and structure. I also made one in a lightweight Drapey cotton and that also works really well.
The instructions are great and this is a super speedy sew, I really can’t recommend it though.
Friday Pattern Company is one of my favourite designers because they always make such beautiful thoughtful patterns and this is no different. I have only made the top as I wanted to pair it with trousers instead of a skirt but it came together beautifully.
The facing finished make it look so clean and professional. The fit is perfect and adjustable because of the strap and I managed to get it sewn up in 5 hours.
I used viscose linen and it’s really Drapey and comfortable. This is my new favourite outfit and I can’t wait to make more!
I made size L with no mods.
I have made 7 of these bags for family and friends.
I am an advanced beginner/intermediate
It is quite a hard pattern to follow and the adding of the gusset is awkward.
I managed to find a video for £6 on how to make it, (Lauren from sewing bee) I really don’t think I’d have managed it without at my level of sewing.
I used M&M dry oilskin and their lining is lovely to work with
I bought this after seeing many vloggers' versions. It went together really easily, and looks fantastic. I love the pleats into the back yoke instead of gathers - a really lively point of difference. The sleeves are fantastic. I feel very special in this shirt! A complex look belies the relatively simple construction
I bought this to make up a fabric I received in an advent calendar and thought they would be a beautiful slinky set. I made both the shorts and the trousers. The finishing of the binding of the shorts was the only part of this pattern that I found confusing to construct. I love the double elastic in the waistband, really comfortable. I would recommend certainly.
I have made this is a stiff cotton without sleeves and a soft cotton with sleeves and adding some length. The neck is so interesting and elevated that it doesn’t look like a beginner made it. A great vehicle for real statement fabric. The first one I had the fabric upside down so I added a patch pocket the right side up.
I've made these trousers twice now and I love both the making and the wearing. I'm a confident beginner to intermediate sewist and these were the biggest challenge I've undertaken so far. The instructions are really clear (although I do wish pattern houses would use fabric that's obviously got an inside and an outside for the photos!) and as others have said, there are lots of lovely techniques including bias binding the seams, pockets and waist band. It's also my only time doing a welt pocket which was easier than I thought following this pattern. My first pair was in a black suiting type fabric from a bargain bundle online, and then I made a pair in Mind the Maker Nisa Softened Linen in Stone from Minerva as I wanted a COS style trouser for travelling in the summer. While not designed with linen in mind, the fabric is sufficiently weighty and drapey to suit this style well. I love these trousers so much I now wear them on rotation at home! I am 5'5'' and made the size 16 from band 2 as I'm high waisted and fall between the height options for this pattern company. I plan on raising them hem on both pairs 1-2cm as they're a little long but otherwise perfect - stylish, fun to sew and easy to wear.
Hi, I would like to praise the Modern Sewing Company Boatneck Top. At first glance, it looks like a basic shirt, but the cut is really elevated, far from an ordinary simple shirt pattern. That makes it fit really perfect on me and super comfy. At moreover, it has such a big advantage for home sewing: You don't need any ribbing or other binding that might not be as professional as RTW shirts. All you need to do is pay a little extra attention, precision and time to the instructions for the neck construction. I use my walking foot for the straight seams, which does the trick very well, even on very light or slippery fabrics. It such a staple, I made a couple for me and my daughter as well. Fabric consumption is minimal! The original has 3/4 lengths for the arms, you can easily lengthen. I made it in basic light to midweight jersey, ribbed jersey (you might want to size down) and merino blends.
