from 3834 reviewsI love making bags and this one was no exception. Lots of interesting pockets and details. Not too fiddly to sew either. I used a medium weight cotton twill with cotton lining so I can chuck it in the wash if I need to.

I'm a reasonably new sewer, but I found the instructions really easy to follow (especially with the links to the videos that accompany them) and ended up with a fantastic pair of summer pjs I've been wearing every time they are clean! I definitely recommend this pattern if you're looking for an easy but enjoyable pair of pjs!

I tested this pattern and I absolutely loved it. It came together super quickly, and was a really easy project.
It’s perfect for beginner sewists and experienced sewists alike and I love all the options. I used a viscose linen and it was a great fabric pairing. It’s breezy, and comfortable and I’ve already worn it a tonne of times since making it.
I made size G and shortened it by 1.5” the fit is great and I didn’t need to make any other adjustments. This would be great to batch sew a load in time for summer

I made this shirt for my granddaughter. It was very straightforward with good instructions and came together very quickly. Great for using up fabric!

This Merchant and Mills pattern dates from the first year of "Twelve days of Christmas" and it's the present that keeps on giving. I've made it before but this was in a finer lawn which hangs beautifully.
It's generally straightforward with some very accurate sewing required around the neck facing. I hand sewed here. Also opportunities to practise top and understitching.
I French seamed throughout.
NB If you lengthen or shorten the main garment, remember to do that to the facing as well.

This was the first coat i finished , i wanted a light jacket with lots of ease and deep pockets!
Pattern instructions are great with photograph illustrations, which i prefer!
Suggested fabric is lighter than the fabric i chose, a light denim with a touch of stretch from Sherwood’s.
Made size 16 and only mod was i graded the bust between 14 & 16 (Aus)
I wasn’t sure about 3/4 length sleeves but i love it. I did hong kong binding on the seams.
my friend (shorter and slimmer) borrowed this when we were on holiday and it looked great on her too.
Tessuti, i’m sure this could be sized up to include a few more people beyond the largest sze.

Made in a very light chambray from John Lewis and dyed a lovely aubergine.
a great classic shape garment - A line and swingy which can easily be dressed casually or more dressy. I’d like to try a linen next
of course POCKETS too!!
I sized a little large and so added ties in the side seam (after i took photo) to cinch it in, which i really like.

with apologies for smudgy mirror (and flamingo pose!)! First *anything* sewn with buttons!
This is my first lyra and is a wearable toile in a cheap cotton from Pound. absolutely cracking instructions from TATB. I would like to do a floater longer version next. It’s a super versatile dress.
One of many quite similar but this one is a winner. It can be made in a lot of different iterations and I probably chose the most straightforward with mandarin collar, button through bodice and short sleeves. I had to add extra panels behind the buttons because I accidentally cut the match to meet at centre front so it's probably slightly "off" but loose fitting so not an issue. Cool and comfortable.
Will be making more!

I've made both the top and the dress, and found the pattern very easy to use. I'm pleased with the results and will definitely make it again.

It's called a kimono but doesn't have the sleeves, so I will go with Leon jacket. I chose the pattern after have consulted with other Foldliners about how to use this fabric. This designer hails from Belgium and, initially, I was put off by clumsy translation from French to English e.g. 'sticked' together and the use of the word 'waistband', which has a specific meaning in sewing, to describe the tie belt. But I liked the pattern and will consider some of her others.
It was straightforward and quick to make. It's described as one-size which seems a big ask to me and you might want to check this.
I chose it to make up some tiger silk, bought in India, and I used the border for the collar, band and facing. I haven't sewn with silk much and find it isn't my favourite thing. The band stuck together a lot when I was trying to press it into place, encouraged by the adhesive on the thin interfacing. The fabric needs slot of tacking (basting) too. I hope it will settle down with washing and hanging. Some of the other seams are not straight.(I French seamed throughout).
Anyway, it's quickly finished and with an unintended but hilarious piece of action on one of the pockets.

I wanted to use up some remnants of a lawn material that my mother had admired, in time for her birthday a few days later. I downloaded this pattern and sewed it up without needing to take long about it. It is intended for two different fabrics so that you can use up smaller pieces and that is what I did; it ended up absolutely gorgeous. The curves of the side and hem worked beautifully and it all looks so classy. The instructions made it straightforward but also because it is basically a simple quick sew I was able to concentrate on just sewing it as nicely as I could.
It does say it is a one-scissor difficulty level on the Liesl&Co site; I would say that to get the bias binding on the armholes as nice as possible does require some fiddling and benefits from having more sewing experience. If you are a newer dressmaker then it is still basically a simple sew but you might like to use pre-folded bias binding rather than using the pattern as written whereby you make a strip of the same fabric as the rest of the top.

I’ve made two Amalfi blouses. Very well written pattern with helpful tips, written in a conversational style. I did not choose the size recommended. I went one size down. I like a little less positive ease on larger sizes. Will be making again!

I am nearly done making a pleated version in a linen fabric. The instructions are very well written! Normally I like to watch a video, but I didn’t even need one for this pattern. This was my first zipper fly as well. I have a 27” waist so I made a size 4, but ended up taking in the waist by about 2cm for a more snug feel. I plan on making a second pair without the pleat maybe in a suiting fabric for a more dress pants feel.

Love this pattern. I cut it out one afternoon and made it the next. Very well written directions with helpful tips. It will be perfect for a hot day with a short sleeve tee. My elementary students will like the bumble bees :)
