This is a lovely pattern. I enjoyed making it up. It’s well drafted and so pretty when finished.

This blouse pattern is the bees knees. It’s well drafted, easy to make and lovely to wear. I am looking forward to making the dress version.

2026 is my year of learning new techniques! This shirt is fabulous and will be on repeat. Hetty’s instructions are so comprehensive ,clear and easy to follow. This started life as a wearable toile (made from a cotton linen supermarket tablecloth!) but I love the end result .My personal nemesis of the dreaded sleeve placket was my best yet! The hemline is slightly lower at the back and is finished either with bias binding or a standard hem. The pattern includes making your own binding but I chose to used one from the Specy seamstress. The sizing on the pattern was also spot on. This will be the first of many !

I bought the pdf pattern but had the 0-20 printed. Reading the instructions after doing so suggested that for a full bust like, the 14-32 pattern is better. I delayed making this for a while as a result but eventually read the reviews on here and made a toile of the bodice. I was pleasantly surprised with the fit so continued and made the maxi length with short sleeves. I did make some adjustments. I’m not keen on patch pockets, was unsure how my fabric would hold them and didn’t like one pocket being partially under the wrap , as in the pictures, so I added in seam pockets on the waist to stabilise them. I also did a rolled hem. I do love the way this pattern looks on and will almost certainly make another before the end of the summer .

I love this pattern. It is perfectly drafted. Unlike some others I have made, every piece fits together perfectly. With the variations in necklines and sleeves, it’s ideal for both winter and summer dresses. I have made two dresses so far and plan a couple of tops and another couple of dresses.

lovely 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.
