from 3976 reviewsThis was the very first shirt dress I had ever made so it had lots of elements that were new to me: placket, yoke, collar...
The instructions were very good, easy to follow. The pattern was very accurate too.
It came out really nice, I got a lot of positive feedback.

I’ve made these twice now: the first time with a fabric that turned out to have a little stretch, which isn’t called for in the pattern and actually led to having a bit too much ease after some wears. More lately I made a pair in some sturdy medium-weight twill which is a better fit for the pattern I think; it feels very comfortable and still swishes very satisfyingly.
Second time of making I have added some belt loops and shifted the pockets slightly from the (elegantly hidden) slit pockets of the pattern, into a slash pocket that is slightly easier to put my hands into. I also added back welt pockets. The basic shape and construction of the pattern is the key bonus here, it’s a shame the other elements aren’t included as standard but then back pockets arguably detract from the line? They are a must-have for me though.
As ever, the instructions for making the pattern are very clear and the informational drawings are excellent.

This first version I made, which won't be the last, has 3/4 sleeves and Scoop neck. I had to cut 1" off the neck band as I couldn't get it to lie flat, not sure why..... I may shorten the body by inch or so next time as it is quite long (I am 5' 1" ). Instructions, as always with I to S are very, very good.

Great pattern!! Perfect for colour blocking. re-purposed small curtains and cushion cover from charity shops. 100% cotton Gingham so feel lovely to wear.

It took me a while to get round to this but so glad I did. It was a quick and enjoyable sew and I love the finished result. I was between sizes and sized down and the hem is a little snugger than I’d like around the hips. I’m a bit annoyed that the darts ruined my epic pattern matching 😂

It's barely into September and I'm already sewing for the season. This is my 2nd pair of Eve trousers. This time in 9oz utility canvas from M&M, the shade is called navy but it does say on the M&S website it is an aubergine colour, therefore perfect for Autumn vibes. I made a straight size 14 with no turnups and waist darts.

I’ve made this four times now and I love it. You can get really creative. I’ve used vintage tablecloths and fabric scraps. Great for gifts as sizing is not much of an issue.

Made this for my husband’s birthday for Christmas. He loves it and I really enjoyed making it. Will definitely make more.

I love this top as it has a larger cup size for a better fit. The neckline is really nice and the longer body makes it very practical. I made it in a black and cream stripe and I think it looks great.

Loved making this shirt. I made it for my husband’s birthday in a lovely navy and white cotton gingham. It fits him really well and he loves it too!

I recently purchased Celeste and couldn't wait to make it up. I had a really soft loose woven fabric that I felt would be perfect. I was easily able to grade between the sizes and the dress came out out fitting very well with no other changes. I may change how the facings are finished off next time, just to suit my sewing but this was a great 1st experience from Itch to stitch.

I made this dress out of an Ikea duvet! I'm happy with the way it turned out and plan to make a winter version in a heavier fabric and with long sleeves. I used rainbow continuous zipper tape.
A couple of modifications - I added back darts as I found that it stuck out strangely at the back. I removed the same amount from the back skirt and added a centre seam. I sized down one size from my measurements and I’m happy with the fit. I will change some steps in the collar finishing next time (I found that trimming it to the amount they suggested left me very little for finishing). But otherwise it was reasonably straightforward to follow the pattern and it turned out well!

I enjoyed making this jacket. The instructions are clear and I also used a couple of Youtube sew-alongs including one by Maison Fauve which were very helpful. I made it in this cotton boucle with ponte roma jersey trims.
It is an oversized fit and I think I will size down next time - in particular I find the shoulder is quite dropped and this seems to be a feature in lots of Maison Fauve patterns, just something to bear in mind when selecting a size. It is a nice variation on a bomber jacket and has some lovely features, like the curved back hem and the pleats.

I made this jacket using pre-quilted fabric and it comes together very quickly. Instructions are very thorough and clear. I'm partway through making a vest with the same pattern. The way it is constructed makes it very easy to adjust the fit. Recommended!

I have made two of these pullovers and they are some of the most versatile and comfortable sweaters I own! The pattern is great, very straightforward and comes together very quickly. I didn't do any modifications and I sewed the wool fleece version all on the overlocker.
