So good I made it twice, and I will probably make it again next summer. I used viscose fabric for one version, which is more comfortable but doesn't hold the puffed sleeve as well. I made up the second blouse in a more structured cotton lawn which holds the puffed sleeve better. It depends what look your after, but I agree with another review that lightweight fabric with a bit of structure is a good choice to make the most of the sleeve shape.
The way this pattern went together was an absolute delight. The neck facing and button placket are neat and very satisfying. I left off the darts and I am still pleased with the fit around my bust. I would happily recommend this pattern.

Having bought a beautiful piece of stretch velvet (velveteen?) as a spontaneous purchase at the Knitting and Stitching show I was not sure what to make with it. The search filters on Foldline patterns came to my rescue by searching for "stretch fabric". I made it up as a dress using this pattern to get ready for the party season. This is a no fuss pattern with easy to follow instructions. There are no zips or buttonholes to worry about so it could be suitable for a beginner. Quick to make, easy to fit.

I used the search filters in Foldline to find a dress pattern suitable for jersey fabric and chose this one. This pattern is lovely because of the fit and drape of the finished dress. There are no fussy details so it's quick and easy to make. I used an overlooker on the seams to get a nice finish inside. My other tip is to mark the wrong side with chalk before you start making because it's hard to tell which side of the fabric is right side. The instructions are clear and detailed with plenty of illustrations.
The pattern is versatile with different sleeve variations / lengths. I liked it so much I am onto my third garment. In the photo am showing a shirt that I made in a bamboo lightweight jersey with wooden buttons. I simply took the bodice and made it about 10cms longer, leaving out the waist darts. You might want to make it slightly wider for your hips.

A brilliant children’s sweatshirt pattern. I’m up to 5 of these now and counting. A very quick and easy pattern for a quick hoody or sweatshirt. I have enjoyed using contrasting colours for a colourblock style jumper. I use a maraflex thread and a straight stitch for this – which I find simpler than a zigzag.

Nice easy to follow instructions and a helpful online tutorial to attach the neck and armhole binding. I made a toile to check the position of the back darts & found I didn’t need to make any adjustments. I bought the Tessuti Vilene recommended for the neck binding, which was stiffer than the version I bought off amazon & slightly harder to tear away. I used a washed linen fabric which worked nicely for this pattern & was pleased with the results. A very simple pattern & potentially quick to sew – although as a beginner I did spend ages applying the binding very carefully to make sure I got it right.

This has been one of my favourite patterns to follow and it makes me want to sew lots more things from Helen’s Closet. Really nicely laid out instructions which are simple to follow and full of good tips which I really appreciated as a beginner sewer.
I didn’t make a toile but did lengthen the body and the leg length to suit my 6 foot height. On reflection the length in the body is too much, and on my next version I will stick to the pattern length. I added belt loops instead of the waist tie channel, as I wanted to wear it with a belt. This worked well, although next time I would add 7 loops instead of 5 to help distribute the fabric better. Made with soft canvas from Merchant and Mills.
Overall a really nice pattern to follow.

A nice pattern for trousers which are comfortable and easy to wear. I lengthened the straight version to full length and added an inch to the rise (which on reflection wasn’t needed). Very quick to sew and a nice simple pattern to follow. I made them in a Tencel/Lyocell linen mix from Merchant and Mills which has a nice drape to it.

Made the dress with the bow, with Liberty Fabric: Neon Lord Thorpe.
Would highly recommend anyone make this dress, it is very flattering.
I got so many compliments.
I'm 5ft and made no alterations, i wanted it long anyway, fitted me perfectly.

I loved this jacket as soon as I saw it but it took me awhile to get round to buying and making. I bought 3.5 m of 148cm wide soft handle cotton drill fabric weight was 225gsm.
The jacket came together really well but is a slow sew due to a lot of seam binding. I also made my own bias binding from a cotton lawn I had in my stash. I like the way you bind nearly all of the hems before you sew them together . You do have to make the notches with chalk or whatever so you can still see them after the seams are bound. This is an important part not to miss out on.
The pleating really makes the jacket stand out and the shape just flows as you sew. I will make another in a heavier fabric but it still need some drape, I also will line the back,sleeves and front panels, although the jacket is roomy it doesn’t slip over a wool jumper as easily as I would like, lining it would alleviate that I think.

I absolutely love this T - I've made 5, including a long sleeve hack. Although it's a fitted T, based on my buddy measurements, the size I made just skims the body rather than hugging and showing all the lumps and bumps. It's not as tightly fitted as TATB Agnes for example. I've lived in these over the summer, paired with Saguaros. For autumn and winter the long sleeve hack will work really well with Roans or other jeans.

I made the version with a collar in Liberty fabric - Ciara. I modeled it at the knit and stitch festival 2025.
Beautiful sophisticated dress.
It says the dress is advanced, but just go for it
Honestly, you won’t regret it.

I bought this pattern as I love a cowl neck. I have made this pattern twice, with both long and short sleeves. This is a simple pattern to follow, and easy to make; though I have top stitched the back neck facing to keep it in place. I like the cowl neck which is perfect for those of us who need to keep our cool. I will definitely make this again. I have used viscose jersey for both versions as I find it drapes well.

If you're looking for something just a bit different, this might be a good option. This was my first foray into knitted fabrics so I picked a (cheap!) French terry. I have tiny shoulders so tried making that adjustment - which is never enough. Other than that I just went with the standard pattern for the finished garment size I wanted.

The written instructions are generally pretty clear and with the diagrams the potentially complicated front came together easily. Love the pockets and I'd only make a few small tweaks for the next one. It's quite short so I'd definitely add a bit to the length and I prefer no cuffs on a sweatshirt so would just lengthen the sleeves and skip them. Overall, I'd really recommend this pattern and will certainly check out more from this designer.

This made me fall in love with tailoring again! Loved its construction. Made with linen and Tana lawn cotton lining.

Although I'd only made a couple of tops before, I thought I'd give this one a go. So glad I did. I watched the video for how to do the squared sleeves - it would have been much harder if I hadn't. But overall it was a very quick make. Only a few pieces and everything went together easily. I really like the style of this top and plan to make many more.
