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

I bought this pattern as my husband was struggling to find basic shorts (that weren't overpriced branded sportswear) for home yoga/workouts.
I made a test pair from some bottle green cotton/poly that a friend had passed on, it's stretchy but not very.
I projected the pattern onto my fabric without an issue opting for the shorter inside leg. I omitted the patch pocket(s).
The pattern was straightforward and the shorts came together quickly and were a success so I made another pair in a loopback sweat that I had in my stash.

I've made more pairs of these than I can count.
I've made them in chambray and voile/cotton lawn fabrics. For chambray pairs I use a cotton lawn for the waistband facing and for the pockets.
These are so great for summer and I've found them really comfy for travelling in too.

I picked up a number of pairs of jeans from my local freecycle group and used 3 pairs to make this jacket along with some vintage cotton fabric picked up at a car boot sale.
I quilted the exterior adding a layer of quilt wadding and cut a medium.
I added exterior and interior pockets and the jacket is reversible.
I bound using 1.75" wide strips from the lining fabric.
This is a warm jacket, I'd love it if it had a hood on it.

This is a pretty straightforward with different options along the way for pockets and pleats depending on how you want your finished bag to look and, I suppose, depending on your skill/confidence levels.
I added interior pockets: one patch pocket and a zip pocket.
I also added a lobster/trigger clip for my keys to the side of the patch pocket. I've used the bag a lot and still love it.

Returned from a trip to Sri Lanka with two batik sari lengths and these were my first make. I was able to cut so as to maximise placing of the yellow leaves and I used some of the blouse part of the length to make a short lining as the weave was quite open. Just a copy of the pattern and joined at the waist
It's a great pattern, with only the front and back pieces, ties and pockets with darts, side seams, waist binding and hems. The instructions for the waist binding are to cut a measured length which can be pieced from off cuts which is what I did. I also didn't notice that I should have cut four tie lengths which would have made them wider. That didn't matter. I French seamed throughout which may have made them a bit smaller.
There's a link to a video about tying them.
Mine don't cross over as much as some of the ones on the pattern models. They must be broom sticks.

The Makers Atelier flared top, with the curve added and with flared sleeves. I made a size 14 with slight high round back adjustment which I am beginning to need. I used a boiled wool remnant from Fabric Godmother so made it what I think was the right way out and trimmed the seams as recommended and pictured in the instructions and illustrations. No issues with pattern or cutting - which can be on the grain with seams or on the fold. There are lots of other iterations. It took about an hour to adust the pattern and cut the large pieces and two hours to sew it this morning.

I have been searching for a barrel style trousers pattern for ages and these are brilliant. I found the instructions easy to follow and the construction very satisfying. I will be making many more pairs!
