I've been sewing for about a month now, and this pattern was very easy to follow and definitely beginner friendly. I ended up making the top version and it turned out so darling.

I have made this shirt twice now, once in denim and once in linen. Both are beautiful. The boxy fit is just perfect, and the instructions are very well done. This was my first time doing felled seams, and it was worth the effort!

I loved making this skirt. It was so satisfying to take a length of fabric and all the pleats as marked on the pattern fitted onto the waistband. It was easy and quick to make.
I made it from a light Liberty viscose and it hangs very nicely.
I made one change to the detailed and clear pattern instructions, which was to pleat the skirt onto the interfaced waistband piece rather than the uninterfaced piece because this way it as more stable when working with a light fabric.
You can make it reversible but my fabric was one-sided so I didn't do this. You can also get adventurous with the pleats.

This is a simple make and really stylish top/jacket. I like the fact it is cropped so that you could see the waistline of a dress/ trousers underneath. I used a curtain remnant for this initial mock up but it turned out very smart and I might wear it to a wedding! I like that using the Youtube video allowed me and the maker to share the sewing without having a shared language

I love this blouse. This is my first one, it won’t be my last. To cap it all, it so on trend for summer ‘26.

Enjoyed making this reversible, quilted jacket toile(!) from Madswick. I lengthened it a little, NB don't forget to lengthen button plackets if you do this. Sometimes found the seam allowance for the binding too large to enable you to fold the strip over properly. Would recommend using pre-quilted fabric, I did my own. It took ages. Also making the bias strip takes quite a long time and a lot of fabric even doing the triangles/loop technique. Vertical quilting lines would have meant less pattern matching. BUT I'm really pleased with the result and will wear it loads. Now onto the Indian block print version!

Oversized shirt pattern. I made up in Virgin White linen from M&M and added embroidery as it was a little see through and to emulate this season's embroidered shirts from Toast. I replaced the 2 piece collar and stand with the one from the Ottoline jacket.

This pattern was incredible, such a stunning cut and I love how many options provided. Will be making another

Long time since I made pyjamas!
Liberty print Tana Lawn. Heaven alone knows how long I've had the fabric. Went together nicely. Watched the You Tube which helped. Pockets are perhaps overlarge for nightwear but who knows ? Now going to make pattern up for my daughter...

Bought the seersucker fabric from Merchant and Mills in 2020. Finally made this last week....... Went together easily. Have made it before so knew sizing was fine.

I made this for my daughter and she loves it! It’s really comfy and lightweight and folds up tightly when you need to pack it away.

It was a really simple sew and came together really quickly.
My daughter wears it all the time, it’s the first she reaches for.

This is a great project for when you want to sew something really comfy but only have a spare hour or two.

It’s really simple and the instructions are great. I love the fit, I shortened the length by 2” but made no other adjustments and I wear it all the time.

A little trickier than it looks with the gathering yet still comes together quickly for a summery look. Quite a deep v-cut but overall a very forgiving pattern.

Another great pattern from Tessuti. This one came together really nicely, the pockets sit well in the dress and are neatly finished. I made this in a checked fabric for summer and I love it. The only alteration I made to the pattern was to lengthen it by 4 inches as I’m tall and I wanted it midi length. It is an easy pattern to lengthen or shorten as it is done at the hemline. The bodice is similar, being lengthened or shortened at the bottom seam. It has darts at the bust which gives the top some shape. I can fit a T-shirt underneath but equally like it without. I would recommend this pattern to beginners and experienced sewers. I see there is a sleeve expansion pack which I am seriously considering.

I have been waiting for the perfect pinafore pattern for ages, there have been a few released that came close but I’m weirdly picky when it comes to this style. Well I can’t wait no longer because TATB have absolutely smashed it.

Not only was this an absolute dream to sew but the final garment is gorgeous! I love how clean the facings make the neckline and armholes and the optional back adjuster which makes for the perfect fit.

The instructions are clear and easy to follow, I think even an adventurous beginner would be able to sew this and have a great time.

I love that it can be styled with base layers for colder weather or worn without for the summer months. I have already made 2 since buying that pattern and I will be making more.
