from 4439 reviewslovely pattern, with options and great instructions. Though the neckline is a little high, but that is an easy fix.
I'm late to the Anthea party but am reviewing this blouse before it's even finished because I can see it's going to be superb.
There is nothing written on the pattern envelope where I normally make notes about issues or adaptations so I have cut and made it without any of those.
It's made from slub slub silk from Stones Fabrics in Totnes.
I didn't help myself in this endeavour by using a much thicker fabric than recommended. The twill was sold on line as being 9oz, already heavier than recommended, but could easily have been 11 or 12 oz.
I made a small adjustment to both front and back rise and might make more next time. I changed the order of construction so as to construct the zip fly before joining the fronts midway through before finishing the zip. Then I attached the back legs. That makes it much easier to turn the piece over and lay it out flat.
The thickness of the fabric made it difficult to get a good finish at the join on the front when attaching the pocket facings. That was my fault.
The thick fabric also resulted in a very straight up and down waistband which stands proud of my hips. I shall take it off and make a curved one with a thinner facing.
After that, I think these trousers will be good to go.
This the gathered version in a printed linen-look cotton from my stash. As a toile really because I hadn't made this pattern before. The lines and diagrams were very clear once printed. I'm not sure I would understand the instructions for the burrito method if I hadn't done it before.
There is a different and interesting way of attaching the collar stand before adding the actual collar.
The sleeves have plackets and proper cuffs. You need to pay attention to the directions and orientation of the sleeve and cuff fabrics.
This will be a great addition to my wardrobe.
It's a lovely pattern and a winning combination with a Stitch Festival purchase of ready made patchwork from Rainbow fabrics. The pattern was easy and clear to cut. I'm not sure how clear the description of the burrito method would be to anyone who hasn't done it before. Maybe they should name it and point the way to a video.
I love the dropped pleated sleeves. They are designed so that they hang properly. There are proper cuffs and plackets; maybe practise on an offcuts if you are not confident. I much prefer those to an elasticated or bound sleeve which doesn't hang properly.
There is another iteration of this pattern with pleats at the cuffs so I hope to make that one too.
I do like Fibre Mood patterns and especially that the instructions are on the website. Much easier to find than ones that ended in some download worm hole.
this a fab pattern with so much choice, easy to construct and brilliant instructions.
This is such a fun sewing pattern. It came together surprisingly quietly and I am in the with the finished top. I couldn’t find any buttons I liked so I hacked ties which was really easy to do and then couldn’t resist making a pair of matching shorts.
It’s my new favourite co ord and I can’t wait for the weather to warm up so I can wear it out and about.
I made size L in an embroidered chambray I’ve had in my stash for years. I didn’t make any adjustment and the fit is perfect and true to the size chart.
I made version 1 in size 12. I made a toile of the bodice and sleeves to check the fit as I have broad shoulders and it looks like a quite fitted style. I needed to make a sloping shoulder adjustment and a wide shoulder adjustment.
I made this final version in indigo chambray and omitted the elastic in the sleeves - I just folded under and hemmed the sleeves. Lovely neat bias- bound neckline. Excellent, easy-to-follow instructions.
I've made the Nikko top, View B - the turtle neck with long sleeves - about 10 times, in every possible colour. In a bamboo knit - black, dark grey, grey-marl, terracotta. In a swirly, green French Terry. It's a fantastic layering piece under jumpers and cardigans, with skirts, trousers, jeans.
I got my rather dog-eared pattern pieces out to check my adjustments, because it's got a lovely long bodice that tucks into anything and never rides up so I was sure I must have added something - and, no, I was surprised to realise I'd made a straight size 10! No adjustments - see length on photo - I'm 5'7". A brilliant wardrobe staple and a super-quick sew.
A beautiful blouse. I made view A, size 5, and only adjustment was to add 2" to the bodice length (I'm 5'7" tall and a 39" bust) - glad I did this as it is a cropped style. Lots of ease and has a flared, A-line silhouette.
Beautiful neat finishes throughout - grown-on button placket, bias binding around neckline, gathered sleeves encased in narrow bound cuffs. The instructions also have you close the sleeves and then fold and sew the pin tucks on the sleeves - all the way round rather than flat. I thought this was going to be fiddly but I actually like as it's made a really neat finish - no annoying mismatching pin tucks on the sleeve seam.
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.
