I love this pattern. My previous two have long sleeves in a French Terry. This is one for warmer weather. Made in viscose jersey. I modified the short sleeves making them somewhere between a straight and flutter.

Adored the pattern
Clear instructions
Went up a size from small to medium while retaining the small dart placement and length for the sleeves and body for the small size
No trouble with facing perfect fit
Received multiple compliments

I made my Fibre Mood Crystal skirt with linen stripes purchased from Ditto in Brighton. It would be trendy with leggings - or so I think. The fabric was quite light and the sewer is encouraged to play with the grain and direction of the ingeniously cut pieces. That is where I may have had a problem because at the first pass the skirt bagged out and failed to hang well. I took out the zip and cut a chunk off each side, resewing the zip and also adding an elastic strip in the back waist. Perhaps it was just too big for me. Anyway, I do like It now it's finished.
The skirt with its multiple pieces might be good for scrap busting.

Love this pattern but how did I not get the buttons even? This time in a double gauze from Hey Sew Sister.

This is the one where you add a gathered skirt. There's also a hack for a boat neck. It's a great pattern, well drafted and does what it says on the tin! Fabric from stash.

The Maize dress is a great pattern – so much so that I made two, one after the other. Both of my versions are view B.

The instructions have a good level of detail, and are very clear and easy to follow. I didn't have any trouble making my dresses, and they came together fairly quickly.

I found that the pattern comes out true to size. I made the size recommended for my bust and waist measurements (my hips would be the next size up, but there's plenty of ease in the skirt) and the fit is really nice – semi-relaxed as intended without being too baggy.

I lengthened the bodice slightly (standard for me), and shortened the skirt a little to get my preferred length.

I really like the combination of the knit fabric bodice and woven skirt. It's a good opportunity to have fun combining different prints/colours, and it results in a really comfortable dress.

I'm really happy with both of the versions that I've made so far, and I've already got plans for Maize number 3!

I have made the Megan Nielsen Hovea Jacket which I bought from The Fold Line.
I was making view E but because I wanted it quilted and revesable I had to make some adjustments to the make/instructions which made the pockets deeper and it has turned out longer than the E view, but is perfect to how I wanted it. I lengthened the sleeves as I’m tall and have long arms. I made my own bias binding.
The fabric is a charity shop duvet set find, which I turned into quilted fabric.
I decided to quilt large panels and then cut the pattern out of the quilted panels as I was worried about lining up the quilting lines and I’m aware when quilting the fabric can shift a bit.
I hand quilted the flowers on the collar to ensure the batting stayed in place and also stopped me thinking how to line up quilting lines.
As it’s reversible I attached 2 ties to both sides.
I found the instructions easy to follow and I also watched some of the tutorials.
I have learnt so much making this quilted reversible jacket, and I love it!

I absolutely adored this make - the lovely pattern and simple but good instructions, the fantastic attention to detail and the absolutely beautiful finished article. Highly recommended!

This pattern seems intimidating but once you get stuck in it's easy enough to put together. I've made two versions - one in denim and one in baby cord. I always get compliments on them, it's such a flattering shape.

The tricky bit is the bottom of the button placket; my first one came out ok and the second one came out great. I didn't make any adjustments, I would say it's on the shorter side which I quite like, but you might want to length it if you prefer longer.

I topstitched one and didn't on the cord version and it's fine. I also skip through the instructions, assembling both the skirt and top at the same time rather than skirt then top, which really speeds up the process. You can sew up multiple panels, press and topstitch in batches.

All in all a great pattern, not much like it and it's a relatively easy sew aside from the placket. I'll be making more!

Finally got round to making this amazing blouse. Easy to follow instructions but like previous reviewer, found an amazing step by step video which helped too. Had to reduce arm length by 4" as I'm only 5'1". Very happy with it and looking forward d to making another!

I can't believe I put off making the Lane Pants for so long! I already had wide legged trousers so avoided buying the pattern for so long and didn't want to just jump on the hype bandwagon. BUT I finally gave in and bought it and can now confirm yes its a great pattern :-)

I had an Pinterest image of a pair of black drawstring trousers that I wanted to recreate and the Lane Pants have worked perfectly. I made the size based on my hip measurement but I tapered the legs (outside and inside seams) down by a good few sizes as with the fabric being a denim I didn't want as much fullness. I also added a bit to the back rise to give me a bit of room in the rear!

The pattern instructions are great, I love the pocket construction and can see many more pairs of Lane Pants being made (I have another pair cut out waiting to be sewn up)

So if in doubt yes get this pattern!!!

I've been sewing for about a month now, and this pattern was very easy to follow and definitely beginner friendly. I ended up making the top version and it turned out so darling.

I have made this shirt twice now, once in denim and once in linen. Both are beautiful. The boxy fit is just perfect, and the instructions are very well done. This was my first time doing felled seams, and it was worth the effort!

I loved making this skirt. It was so satisfying to take a length of fabric and all the pleats as marked on the pattern fitted onto the waistband. It was easy and quick to make.
I made it from a light Liberty viscose and it hangs very nicely.
I made one change to the detailed and clear pattern instructions, which was to pleat the skirt onto the interfaced waistband piece rather than the uninterfaced piece because this way it as more stable when working with a light fabric.
You can make it reversible but my fabric was one-sided so I didn't do this. You can also get adventurous with the pleats.

This is a simple make and really stylish top/jacket. I like the fact it is cropped so that you could see the waistline of a dress/ trousers underneath. I used a curtain remnant for this initial mock up but it turned out very smart and I might wear it to a wedding! I like that using the Youtube video allowed me and the maker to share the sewing without having a shared language
