I’ve made several versions of this dress and it’s a favourite for sure.
The instructions are excellent and there are several different hacking options shared on the chalk and notch blog. Here I’ve made view B, hacked to a maxi and a ruffle added. It’s designed with a bit of ease in the bodice so check the finished measurements, you may want to size down for a more fitted look.

I fell in love with this dress when I saw it so I bought it. I made it with a black linen and it turned out perfect. I have started in the 2nd one from a washable silk (I think). This is not a difficult pattern. All pieces fit together perfectly. I hate gathering but somehow with this pattern it is not a drudgery.

I finally got round to making the popular Blanca. I used a lovely, fine waled, corduroy and really enjoyed seeing all those extra details that add to the lovely design- pintucks, belt carriers, patch pockets. It wasn’t difficult and the instructions are very clear. I’d tried on a similar RTW style but much prefer getting a buzz from my me made version.

Discovering the Coeli blouse by Pauline Alice. I came across and fell in love with the Coeli blouse on Pinterest, but it took me some time to locate the pattern. It can now be purchased on The Foldline website.

The blouse is unusually constructed with French seams throughout, which was a new technique for me when sewing a blouse. The pattern suggests using a lightweight fabric such as voile, which is transparent, and so French seams make perfect sense.

There is so much to love about the Coeli blouse pattern. The silhouette is boho inspired, making it extremely feminine. You can personalise this pattern and it is easily hacked into a dress. Alternatively, you can experiment with the length and style of the sleeves. My second version has already been cut out and I can't wait to finish it.

This is a dream blouse to make and wear, and you can read more about it

I’ve made 3 Cynthia’s so far and every time I finish one I want to make another, I would say at least 5% of my stash is set aside to make more.

I love the shape, the oversized fit and all the beautiful details. It’s so classically made yet styled so casually, it’s the perfect blend.

I was quite nervous when I first made this pattern as it was my first shirt project, but the instructions were great and the drafting is fantastic. I had a great time making it and was so proud of the finished garment.

I made size 42 size band 1 with no adjustments and it fit great. Writing this now is making me itch to make another one, I think this may be my favourite shirt pattern on the market.

When my children were younger they practically lived in their over it alls. It was my go-to pattern and I made so many for them that they had constant rotation.

Not only do they look adorable, they’re really convenient. There is the option for leg snaps if you’re child is still in nappies and the popper arm straps make it so easy to get babies dressed and undressed.

They sew together really quickly and I had a great time making them. The instructions are really clear and easy to follow.

Cannot rate this pattern enough.

I sewed a pair of Hudson pants for my dad. It was a quick project. I am a slow seamstress, and still, I almost finished these pants in one evening. I like how the pants turned out. The contrast pocket detail is a very nice touch.
The fit is perfect! I went up one size just because my fabric had very little horizontal stretch. I will be sewing this pattern many times in the future using different fabrics. It is a great basic sweatpants pattern.

I absolutely love this pattern
There’s two versions of the top in the pattern you can make .
A very quick easy sew and such a versatile top . I love the funnel neck but I would say definitely use the interfacing on the neckline if using on a stretchy knit so it keeps the shape . This was done in a alpine fleece and all the work really don’t on my overlocker . Clear instructions with pics

One of my absolute favourite patterns I’ve made
Can be made in numerous fabrics I chose linen but have also made it in moss crepe .
Instructions are very clear and informative.
The tricky bit is the neckline but if you pivot your needle correctly and DO NOT only the French seams as it won’t work the results are stunning .
I did struggling a little on the hemline I’m really short so I didn’t add the bands in the pattern , I did google tutorials on the gem as it was a little confusing but that really helped .
Sizing is generous I think I cut a 12 because of bust and finished garment measurements.

A delight Aline skirt very easy to follow 3 pieces great for beginners.
Aline skirts are a basic staple in any wardrobe this is made in a winter fabric but would look fabulous in cottons linens for summer .
Instructions so easy to follow

The fibre mood Mons top what a delight I love the structure neck and armholes . A really easy sew with a dramatic finish .
Pattern clear instructions ideal for beginners
I’ve made it in three fabrics already .

I live this pattern it’s so versatile you can make it out of quilted fabrics line if there’s 16 different options in the pattern , o found the sizing true to size very easy to understand instructions great for a beginner

I put this on my Christmas wish list and was delighted to open it on Christmas morning. Its a beautiful book made with high quality paper. My favourite thing about it is there are slits in the pages where you can save scraps of fabrics, ideas from magazines etc. Going back and watching an old episode of Sewing Bee I attempted some shirring and saved a small test piece for the future.

I always buy KATM labels they are lovely quality and so many different varieties so add them when I’m buying patterns

I adore this pattern- it ticks all the boxes for me:
Top stitching
Flat felled seams
Back darts
Curved waistband
Various style options
Flattering shape
The instructions are spot on and the sew along on the sew house seven website is really easy to follow. There are clear instructions on how to make common fit adjustments included too.
These trousers are bang on trend at the minute but this style never really goes out of fashion.

I would highly recommend these trousers if you want to dip your toes into jeans making without having to tackle many of the common jeans fitting issues that are often encountered.
