I bought this pattern may years ago but only this week decided to give it a go. The result this week is a lovely dress and I intend to make it again and again. I am experienced and the dress was a breeze to sew. I used the neck facing but stitched the light interfacing onto the fabric, along the bottom first, r side to r side and then I flipped the interfacing over and only then used the iron. A much neater result than a normal facing or bias

I also redesigned the inseam pockets, fixed to the waist, easy again. and being under 5` I did take 4 inches off the skirt length, I am leaving that on this dress but will be taking perhaps another 2 inches off when I make my next dress for autumn/winter, to wear with tights

I made a very quick bodice in calico to see if I could get it on without the back button. Yes, easy so I cut the back on the fold

I am shopping from stash for my next dress, perhaps a Japanese double gauze in winter colours and a good viscose for the next summer heatwave

Easy to understand instructions and beautiful finish on the inside! Always love In The Fold patterns.

Easy to follow and clear instructions! A fairly quick make, and the fit was good for me

I love this pattern. It’s well drafted, with clear, but not excessive instructions. They are stylish, comfortable and well, just perfect. I sized down in this pair, as I wanted less ease with this fabric. I have just made a second pair in a more substantial fabric, so sized back up.

I haven’t really seen this pattern around much but it was similar to a ready to wear dress I had seen that I was using as my inspiration image. I’ve made the Vivienne Shao Chen Bisque Trousers and really like them so figured this pattern would be a good one to try.

It’s a sleeveless button front bodice with gathered skirt (either a knee length or midi with an extra tier). The bodice has a few gentle gathers at the front and back that gather into the collar. The bodice finishes just under the bust which I like.

It’s a very loose oversized dress which I’m a fan of but as the cotton I used was a bit more structured and I’d lined it I didn’t want it too “puffy” so having looked at my measurements against the finished garment measurements I decided to size down

My measurements put me between a 12 & 14 bust, a 16 waist and an 18 hip but there is plenty of ease. I actually meant to make a straight size 12 but somehow I ended up making a straight size 10 by mistake. It actually fits ok but the bodice, particularly under the arms is just a little snug. So had I have made the size 12 that I intended to make it would have been fine

After sewing on the collar and trying it on it was sitting quite high and was irritating my neck so I unpicked it and trimmed down at the front by a good cm, maybe a bit more and it’s now much more comfortable. In a softer fabric I think it would have been ok

Length wise I had forgotten to make a note of the length I cut out so I can’t remember if I added length (the skirt is just rectangles and the instructions give you the measurements if you don’t want to print out the pattern piece) but it came out as a proper maxi length (I’m 5,7”) I ended up just trimming off around 1 1/2inch off of bottom ruffle. (I think I probably did add quite a bit of length having looked at the pattern images)

Sewing wise it was a nice sew and came together pretty quickly and the instructions were good.

I’ll definitely be making another version of this dress, I think it would be lovely in a viscose linen.

I really enjoyed making these trousers using a table cloth from a charity shop, they went together very easily, the online video was very handy and most importantly they are very comfortable to wear.

loved the pattern so much i made two in two days! Both C view, the first with elastic in a double gauze and the second (sized down) without any elastic in a soft cotton. love them both. May do another in a sweatshirt material. I watched the video and reaslised how easy it was. Also great for using leftover fabric.

This was my first make using an Itch To Stitch pattern and it won't be the last. The instructions were clear and easy to follow (plus there is a sew along too). I added.an extra couple of inches to the bodice but I actual probably didn't need to. I've had lots of wear from the dress and I'll be making it again next summer.

When I saw this pattern reviewed on The Edit, I knew that I wanted to make it. My version is made from some boiled wool and it's a really easy pattern, that came together very quickly. I love it!

I started with the top, a very easy and well-written pattern, all the details are there, they are a beautiful fit, I did lower the dart. I wanted to sew something this week so I made a dress toile and again very easy but in slippery viscose. It is fabulous and slinks over my hips. I will be keeping this for next summer but in the meantime I will make a long sleeve pattern piece and it will become a warm dress suitable for this winter

This top deserves it's popularity in the sewing patterns hall of fame. I made it in a dead stock cotton weave (apparently ex-Loewe fashion house) and opted for full facings and the cropped length. It falls perfectly to meet a high-ish rise trouser or skirt. The trousers here are Megan Nielsen Flint (and although I love the final result I had fitting nightmares making them but that's for another review!)
The high end finish of the Ashton top makes for a smart item. I've had many compliments already. I french seamed everything too so no raw edges and it's a joy to wear something so polished. I used ready made bias tape to neaten the back facing edges but made my own from self fabric for the front and when I make this again (which I will!) I'll use only self made bias as it added a lovely touch. In all it's a super comfortable, flattering every day top that can be elevated depending on the fabric and how it's styled. If you use contrast facing fabric you can squeeze this top out of very little fabric. I was worried the bust darts might need adjusting according to my own block but in fact they're perfectly placed for me. I've not used a HC pattern before and her instructions are fantastic.

I am new to sewing but had seen this pattern all over my YouTube feed and I had a elasticated waist trouser-shaped hole in my wardrobe. I sewed the pattern with tan coloured cotton that had a slight stretch.

The pattern was easy to follow and has lots of resources to draw from. There are also lots of videos of people making the trousers. The deep hem is lovely. I love wearing them. You’ll see the errors I have made in the photo but that is down to my inexperience and not the pattern.

I am a real beginner - I have only been sewing for 2 months - and while this had some tricky techniques (okay, just one - tubing!) it was fairly straightforward and the instructions were excellent. I made it with flat double gauze which was probably not the easiest fabric to use. I'm planing another one in a tartan fabric!

I made view B, first in some thrifted fabric (linen weight) as a wearable toile. They fitted well so I went and made a denim version, which is a lot heavier, so I wasn’t completely sure how they would turn out. The result was so nice and I think I’ll be wearing them all autumn and winter! I can’t wait to make some more pairs of this trouser 😌

This was my first shirt pattern and the shirt I made turned out really well and fitted my husband very well too. I did find the WBM sewalong video and instruction a bit. confusing, however I found an alternative video by Minerva on YouTube which explains the steps beautifully. I will return to this pattern again in the future.
