I have made a few MSC patterns and I think the Over Shirt is my favourite make so far. The instructions are really clear and the construction is fun to do and achieves a polished, professional looking finish. I enjoyed having a go at flat fell seams for the first time on the side seams and to close the sleeves. The sleeve placket construction is excellent - I would use this again in other patterns as I felt it came together easily. The overall proportions of the shirt are really pleasing. It is fairly cropped in length (I am 5 ft 2 and left the bodice length alone and it fits me nicely) but shortened the sleeves by 3cm (2cm from the sleeve and 1cm from the cuff). The pattern designer does caution against using very crisp fabric and I can see why. I used a paper touch poplin which is a very structured fabric with zero mechanical give and I did have a bit of a tussle putting in the sleeves and the collar - that is entirely down to my fabric choice however. I could see this pattern working really well in a range of fabrics - I'd love to try a linen version and a sturdier denim or twill. Very much recommended!

The Milie jury is out on the slightly heavy canvas tomato fabric from Stones, made up into the Aviator jump suit. I'm not sure when or where I am going to wear it but we shall see.
This one repays careful study of the pattern pieces as there is an alternative with facings for the V necked version which, I think, needs to be taped to the body front pattern. Front and back pieces are very long, as are the sleeves. Check before you cut although obviously you do need the long rise as the garment rides up when you sit down.
Having made the tomato version, I used the top of the pattern with a remnant from Sew Me Sunshine to produce a square sort of shacket. Quite sixties and versatile in that fabric.

I brought this book after seeing so many good review and I was not disappointed. It is beautifully laid out and the patterns are great.
There are so many is useful tips in there and great step by step instructions. It’s also just so pretty it looks great on my shelf.

Great sewing pattern, just finished my dress and love it! Used sewalong tutorial on yt, which helped me lots, very easy to follow, clear instructions. Made my dress from recycled old cotton curtain, I'm going to make more this spring/summer, also maybe 1 long sleeved for winter time

I’ve always avoided raglan sleeves because I didn’t think they would suit me. However, I couldn’t get this pattern out of my head once it was released. I kept seeing so many amazing versions popping up all over my socials. I finally caved in and gave it a go, and oh my gosh I am obsessed!

Not only was it so fun to sew, but it is incredibly flattering and the proportions are all perfect.

The finished are beautiful and the instructions are great. Shirts are one of my favourite things to make and I’ve sewn so many different shirt patterns but this one is definitely top 3. I can’t recommend it enough.

My SIL had a cowboy themed hen party and I knew the exact style I wanted for the trousers, I hunted for ages and nearly gave up until I saw this pattern. It was like my thoughts on paper. They came together really nicely and they’re so comfortable to wear.
I love how they look and how flattering they are. The instructions are clear but minimalistic so if you are a beginner and need a bit more guidance I would save this one for when you’re more confident. I will however be making more.

Love this bag and it was free at Christmas! I take it shopping, it fits all the stuff for kids activities, great for the beach and I use it for work. I liked the colour way of one of the pattern examples so I copied it and added a leather label from Two Stitches. I used upholstery thread with a denim needle to sew it up as I knew this bag would need the extra strength for what I wanted to use it for.

Just finished these fabulous wide-leg trousers and I have to say this pattern is an absolute winner.

The instructions were excellent from start to finish — clear, logical and really well explained, which made the whole process feel calm and enjoyable rather than stressful.

What really stood out though was the fitting guidance. The advice was superb and genuinely helpful, making it easy to tweak the fit and end up with trousers that feel properly tailored. It’s rare to find a pattern that supports you through that process so well.

I also loved the construction order, especially the zip fly. The fly is constructed before the trousers are assembled, which made the whole process so much easier and far less intimidating. It’s such a clever approach and meant everything came together beautifully.

The construction overall felt very thoughtful — everything from the waistband to the pockets was clear and satisfying to sew.

I’m thrilled with the result. High-waisted, wide-leg and wonderfully comfortable, these are definitely going to be on heavy rotation in my wardrobe.

A brilliant pattern with exceptional instructions and some of the best fitting guidance I’ve come across. Highly recommend.

This is a detailed make, one of the two iterations of this pattern. It has everything; involved front and back extension piece with side slits, finished before attaching, collar with stand, buttons concealed in a placket and proper cuffs, also with plackets. I like sewing like this and it came together without problems between other projects. I will make the other version at some point.
The fabric is cotton poplin from Higgs and Higgs.

I love Tauko magazine and I enjoy tracing and making the patterns. This is the Ruckus dress from issue 18. I cut and made it after seeing Sewing Bee Caz wearing two different ones. It's an interesting make with an assymetic yoke and drawstrings to make the gathers. It slips over the head and there is an additional in seam pocket. I know, because I've made them before, that Tauko instructions give finished garment measurements and then, in the instructions, tell you the amount of ease to add in order to make the right size. Somehow, that passed me by this time and I traced the pattern and cut to the finished garment size without adding ease. I can't get the garment on. Lesson learned.
The fabric (I think) was from Rainbow at the Knit and Stitch show a couple of years ago. Possibly for furnishing as it was very wide. I still want to make this interesting garment so am hoping they are at the Stitch Festival on Thursday.
The photo shows the dress without hem or sleeve elastic.

I really enjoyed making these up. The pattern and instructions are solid, and the result is an excellent pair of mens jeans. I used a medium weight japanese denim. There was a small adjustment at the front side to let out the pocket opening, the top stitching means this area doesn't stretch. Will definitely make these again.

These are popular for a reason! The pattern itself is clear and efficient at explaining things, and the accompanying video is super thorough - you cant really go wrong. The resulting trousers are so incredibly comfortable and you can make them smarter or more casual depending on your fabric. I am 6ft tall and have a very long inseam, long rise and a flat seat and all I had to do was add length to the inseam. The ease in the seat is perfect for me, not too much, not too little.

Lovely, stylish, easy dress to make and wear. I think this dress will look good on most people. I would look at the finished measurements to pick your size. She has a great video demonstrating how different sizes looks on her. I will need to shorten it by about 9 inches to suit me, that will still bring it below the knee for me. As a short, full figured woman I chose not to make it as over sized, though still has a generous amount of ease. Can't wait to make my next one.

Not for the faint hearted, but well worth the effort! My main error was self-generated, too much hurry and not enough understanding.
Fabric was generated from scrap strips I purchased at the international bodega; I've been told they a Ghana colors.
Classic tailoring. Brilliant instructions. Outstanding results.

Just made a top using this pattern, no issues with a pattern or instructions. I'm going to make a few more with a different sleeves option amd fabric
