from 4924 reviewsThese are such well constructed culottes. The pattern has a real attention to detail and each step is photographed. I'm really happy with the outcome, they fit like a dream- no adjustments required.
This pattern fitted together beautifully and the video made the instructions particularly straightforward. I’ve made it twice in two sizes now and both turned out well. I think the top stitching option on my second version was particularly successful, so would recommend this option as opposed to understitching. .
I made mine in a merchant and Mills green/pink gingham. Absolutely love it. Idid find the video tutorial useful but also a bit time consuming with keep backwards and forwarding. There are written instructions but as a visual person they were not enough. I love the under arm split sleeve. I love that i can turn it around and wear as a round neck and tie the sides differently. I already have some more linen from Merchant & Mills to make another. All in all it was a breeze to make.
I used the Lisi pattern to make my wedding dress. I used a viscose satin material which was perfect for the amount of drape which suits the design of the dress, especially the flounce (although my material choice was quite slippery so it was a little hard to tie the waist ties securely). The dress turned out so well and I felt very happy in it on my wedding day!
I've also made the blouse version for everyday wear. Again, I love the flowy nature of the peplum and the loose, comfortable fit.
Chose size 10 for the waist and hips with a slight increase of a 1/4” on the waist only and everything below that size 8. I chose a rather lightweight Needlecord which I felt required a lining. By joining the front pieces of the pattern together I was able to draft a rough pattern for the lining. I then removed the yoke piece from my draft and drew a line to the waist. This eliminated the yoke section and allowed the lining to align with the fly.The back lining was made up of the same pieces of the back pattern.
I followed a sew along for the front sections and yoke of the main skirt but reversed the extension of the fly to be on the right hand side which I think is better.
I teamed it up with the Bennie Vest made up of a small piece of fabric I had left.
I think it is a great skirt and would look good in denim.
I made version B with the tuxedo style pintucks and the standard sleeve instead of the bishop style version.
I made 3 toiles before settling on size 8D for the main body and size 10 for the armscye and sleeve head plus reshaping the pattern below the waist to remove some of the flair as it stuck out too much for me. I lowered & reshaped the bust point, normal practise for me.
I used a very fine linen from the Minerva Core range in white. The amount I used in the end was 1.6 Mts instead of 2.3 stated on pattern. The pin tucks are the trickiest to get right. I basted the lines in contrasting thread and used the Clover roller to press the folds. The first line was marked using the centre fold as a starting point. The 1/4” stitching lines must be precise otherwise it will cause problems.
The dart was made AFTER the pintucks. I used the sewalong and the written instructions however the sewalong differed in places. The collar was confusing so I used my own method. I was really thrilled with the result and have received many compliments. It’s a lovely pattern.
Made this vest using leftover green Needlecord. Not enough to make the entire vest so I used green viscose satin to make the back section as well as the lining. I used silk organza to give body to the back section and used tailor tacks when frixion pen failed and tailor chalk left residue which was difficult to remove. After some consideration I decided to leave out the welt pockets. I purchased the video sewalong after reading reviews and together with the written instructions I followed the method however my one big gripe is the photographs which proved too grainy at times to see whether I was on the right or wrong side of the fabric. The instructions use a combination of couture and regular sewing methods which I like . Instead of tying the ribbon ties at the back I used a metal clasp which was more in keeping with this style.
It was an excellent fit with no alterations and looks fabulous with my Salida Skirt in the same fabric.
I've now made 3 versions of this in very different fabrics - a poplin, a lightweight viscose and a denim and I adore all 3. They had so much wear over the warm summer
I was really excited about sewing this dress and it didn’t disappoint. I used a cotton print and went for the short sleeved version with ruffle pockets. I have to say though if you have a medium/large chest stay away from the ruffle pockets, they are really prominent and look silly. That’s the only thing, in hindsight I should have gone for no pockets or the bigger plain one.
I got the pattern with the sewing weekender and made it straight away. I used an old pair of black jeans as the main fabric and an orange fabric I got off from Vinted that turned out to be pretty plasticky…. Anyways, I’m in love with the end result!
I truly love this top. I’m not sure if the dress will be ‘too much’ for me, but the top 👌 The blue one is my first. I made it up having taken account of both my measurements and the finished garment measurements. Despite this, it’s a little big, most noticeable on where the shoulder seems land. The cream version, I made in a size down and it’s a better fit. I haven’t had time to photograph it on me yet, but I love it!
Loved this so easy to follow and outfit turned out beautiful
Loved using this pattern it was so easy to follow and sizing was perfect. I can’t wait to make another
Lovely pattern, made the first one in canvas for hubby - I made Large but it's a bit tight over a jumper and would size up next time. Made the second one in dry oilskin which I found novel to work with but loved it by the end! This one was XL for my son. I left out the waist cord but made the bottom hem into a channel, and love the final shape this gives. Fleece for the pockets made it very cosy. I wouldn't say it's straightforward - the zip arrangement was a bit challenging so I would advise doing a toile first. But well worth it!
So easy to cut out and sew, I wasn't sure if it would suit my body shape so used some fabric from my stash, It came together so quickly and the video instructions were great to follow. The first one I made (green/black cotton) was perhaps a little too short but not unwearable. The second one (cream/black) I made a few inches longer and finished the side seams off with a slit at the hem which made a nice touch. The fabric was heavier and had a slight stretch which made it very comfortable to wear. However the plain sleeves wern't sitting very well at the front due I think to the heavier weight, so I decided to insert elastic at the sleeve hem and this pulled them in and solved the problem so did the same on the green one. I will make more of them as so easy to wear amd made up in just a couple of hours. I am going to try out the Tie Dress next as it looks very interesting and hopefully if will be as easy as the top.
