I adored this pattern when I first saw it , the big puff pleated sleeves the button up back such a gorgeous feature .
I made this in a white satin fabric however I’d never done buttonholes before but I wanted this blouse so I challenged myself .
A very beautiful design with easy pdf instructions two options for the sleeves a shorter and longer one and two options for the neckline a bias band or a facing .
Really pleased with the outcome , fabulous service from foldline my only place I shop for patterns now .

The Victory Torque hat
This pattern is absolutely amazing great idea to reuse old knitwear ect . I made myself a set then I sized it down to make my friends children them too .
Great printing services from foldline and speedy delivery.
I adore Foldline but I wouldn’t know have the indie patterns exist if I didn’t use foldline for all my patterns

A great stable Aline skirt for any wardrobe workwear casual summer or winter with boots .

This is a very versatile pattern with different lengths, choice of sleeves and straight edge or elastic and a dress with two frills. I made the dress in a thick cosy sweatshirt with a cotton frills bought at a recent fair. The frills added some extra time but bit you want a quick top you can knock this up in a couple of hours easily. I didn't have any Rib for the neck so cut a neck facing on the bias using the neck facing piece from Tessuti Athina. I will definitely use this pattern again for the other variations and my daughter has already put in an order for the cropped top.

What a ideal pattern , a really quick make and great for recycling old knitwear ect , or indeed you could make with so many fabrics fleeces ect .
I made a medium after checking my head circumference, I used an
old sweater that no longer fitter me but I loved the colour . When I saw this pattern I realised it was ideal . The instructions where very clear with images , I chose to have foldline send my a printed version of the pattern which comes in such a quick time . Really happy with the service from foldline and I hadn’t heard of Victory Patterns before so i now be looking at their other patterns .
Would be nice if they did a baby children’s version of this hat pattern , would make lovely gifts for family friends .
The neck snood is not on the pattern but I used the arms of the sweater to do this .

Whenever I need an easy summer basic knit top or dress I always find myself reaching for this pattern.

Not only is it a really good mock neck pattern, but it’s also perfect if you want to make a high neck mesh top, just leave off the neckband don’t bother hemming and it’s the perfect height.

The dress with the side slits is really fun and flattering and its absolutely perfect if you’ve got an event to go to and you’ve left it till the last minute to sew something up because it sews up really quickly. The instructions are good and the drafting is great. It will forever be my go to pattern

If you want a quick easy project that takes and hour to sew and less than a meter of fabric then this is what you need!

I love that waistcoats have made a comeback, they’re so fun and more like an accessory than a piece of clothing. I sewed this up in 40 minutes and I dipped into my scrap pile for it. The trickiest part is the bias binding, but if you get the pre made stuff then it makes it much easier.

This is the perfect project to bring back your sewjo, or just to do in between trickier projects.

The instructions are good and even better it’s fully reversible so you essentially get two items of clothing in one. I’ve made three so far and I will make more will all of my scraps. Imagine a patchwork version using different scraps, it’s a dream 😍

I made the dress version for a holiday to Malta but hacked it to have long puff sleeves, because everything needs a balloon sleeve!

I used a flowy viscose and it turned out so lovely. The princess seams make it very flattering and the tie at the back allows for comfortable fit adjustments.

It’s a slightly more complex project, but the instructions are great and there is a sew along available if you need a little extra help.

It’s such a fun floaty feminine silhouette. I love the options available, I haven’t yet made the longer versions as they require a lot of fabric. But if you want to make something pretty for the summer the shorter versions are perfect and require significantly less fabric to make.

A super easy and comfortable overall pattern! It would be great for someone who hasn’t seen dungarees yet but wants to give them a go. The instructions are fantastic and it’s slightly oversized so the fit is very forgiving.

There are options to make a jumpsuit of a playsuit and as always Helen’s closet has options for hacking on her blog.

It’s a really fun project to work on and the end results are so good, it’s an excellent dopamine hit project.

This is such a cute pattern, I loved making it and wearing it even more. The elastic back makes it really flattering whilst giving you plenty of room for comfort and having the front waistband just be regular means you don’t have elastic pushing into your waist, which if you’re someone like me who tends to bloat then you know the discomfort of that!

I made my version is a dreamy tencel twill and it’s so flowy and drapey. As always with Helen’s closet the instructions are second to none and there are so many helpful tips sprinkled throughout. I reach for mine all the time and I have plans to make more for spring. This is such a perfect pattern!

This was one of the first things I ever made in my sewing journey (because blind ambition and ability ignorance gets you everywhere).

You can tell from the inside seams that this was an early project. However 6 years later it’s still holding up, if not a little tight round the waist.

The instructions are great and the construction was relatively straight forward. It’s such a flattering jumpsuit, and I love that there is also an option just to make the trousers.

I haven’t made any since my first pair, but I would love to make another so I can compare it to my first version and see how far my sewing has come.

It’s a testament to this pattern that even complete beginners can sew it up and have a perfectly wearable garment.

I used mid weight cotton sheet I got from the charity shop, next time I would use a heavier weight fabric but this worked really well

I’ve made this pattern a couple of times and I really like it. It’s so comfortable and I always feel so stylish whilst wearing it.

There are 4 different views so you get a lot for your money and the seams make it super flattering.

It looks more complicated than it is, it actually came together pretty quickly and was really enjoyable. This instructions are good and the fit was spot on. You do have to do a bit of a wiggle dance to get it on and off, but that’s the nature of this style jumpsuit unfortunately.
