I made these out of an old bedsheet as my first project. I loved how it had pictures at each step to make the instructions nice and clear. The pants fit well based on my measurements. This was honestly such a good pattern to learn with plus I have the cutest PJ pants ever now! They are creased and wrinkly because of course I wore them to bed straight after finishing them and before taking a photo!!! Hahaha

I had to look up 'horse girl' and 'pannier skirt' and learned something about both.
The skirt is very popular and there are lots on Instagram. This was my toile, made with double gauze from my stash. It was hard to believe that I was an XS so went up a bit. There is a lot of ease in this pattern; it only has to go over the waist then it can be as gathered as you wish - or not.
There was enough width for me not to worry about making French seams even though the allowance is only half an inch. I bound and top stitched the side panel join.
Issues: I had the same as the other reviewer in that the front/back panels were too long but that could be how I attached the gathered panels to the sides. There is no grain line marked on A, the front and back panel but this is a symmetric piece so you can get there by folding it longways. There is also no marking on this piece showing where to place the cross seams on the side panels. You just have to make sure they match.
It's a very quick sew as the waistband is simply folded over before the elastic is added so there are only three pieces and a bit of elastic.
I could have added a bit of length. I'm 5'8" but like a long skirt.

Size 12, graded to 14 at the waist in a medium denim from my stash. I found a good tutorial for a high round back adjustment to design with raglan sleeves.
There is also a tutorial for the placket on the Emporia website. It ends with the sewer saying to ignore a bit which is sticking out but that did enable me to make a better job!
I bound the edges inside because I don't over lock. And copied the colourful details from the sample.

This is a really nice top pattern. It's a simple and very wearable shape, but the yoke adds a bit of extra interest – particularly if you use gingham/plaid or stripes and play with the print direction.
The instructions have a good level of detail and I found them very easy to follow. They're also illustrated with clear diagrams. I really enjoyed sewing my Clemente top, and didn't have any problems.
I used the size recommended for my measurements, and I like the fit. It's relaxed as intended, but not too baggy. The only alteration I made was to lengthen the top by an inch, which is a standard adjustment for me.
I used a yarn-dyed cotton gingham fabric, which I think worked really well for this pattern.
There's a post on my blog with more photos and details here: https://nightingaleanddolittle.blogspot.com/2025/10/itch-to-stitch-clemente-top.html

The pattern is McCall’s M7599 sewn in Lewis and Irene Witchy Woods cotton fabric. The pattern was modified from a circle skirt to a gather to make the most of the fabulous (and glow-in-the-dark!) panel and I went for a very full cupro lining rather than the sewn-in petticoat though I might make one to add for another occasion. I broke plenty of sensible rules to finish this in time including hemming the skirt before I’d even attached it but I think I got away with it. Very pleased with the pattern matching, invisible zip and added embroidery. Happy Hallowe’en!

A huge thank you to the Foldline team for sending the pattern so quickly!

A few weeks ago, I asked in the Foldline Pattern Shop Facebook group for advice on making a dupe of an RTW dress. I said I wouldn't mind a round neck. Several members suggested the Style Arc Hampton dress so I went with that.
Using the version with sleeves I made the following alterations:

Omitted the 'V' seam in the centre front which seemed purely for decoration as the two pieces fitted accurately together, omitted the placket, added replacement width and cut the front panel on the fold.

Omitted the collar and tried to redraft the round neck, adding facings. I didn't get that quite right and it stands up slightly. I also did a high round back adjustment.

Cut the back in two pieces, adding seam allowances in order to insert a long zip.

The cotton jacquard from Simply Fabrics has a lovely weight. The pattern thinks I ought to have more bust than I do so, if I make it again, I'll adjust that too.

Now I've finished it, I do feel it has a slightly Sound of Music vibe so will jazz it up with bright accessories.

My 4th pair but I wanted jeans style this time. Modified them from high rise to mid rise. Altered leg width to be baggy/ straight. ( used some existing jeans to estimate where to redraft line)
Maybe should have bought new pattern!!! But TATB Thea has worked for me so far.
Fabric is a jacquard cotton denim with some poly from @guthrieghani at Sewbrum.
Fly instructions are great. Didn’t use other instructions but they are comprehensive.
Some body adjustments - normal for me otherwise true to size. I made the pocket facing larger as previous pairs the lining fabric has a tendency to poke out.
These work well

Easy make and comes together nicely..
I’m 5ft and put a larger hem in it as I didn’t want it too long.

Easy to make.
As a beginner I struggle with bias binding and wanting to get it neat.
I found a YouTube tutorial on bias binding and it helped massively

Loved making these shorts and they came together quickly.
I made it as a coord as a lounge set. Very easy to make would recommend.

This sweater has an interesting design. I liked the pockets and the seamed front. I made it in sweat shirt fabric from Pound Fabrics. (It cost more than a pound!)
The shapes of the pieces mean it is quite fabric hungry. I did my own layout for size 14 but still only had enough left from 200x150mm to make, perhaps, a hat. The pattern could be a stash buster if you had enough offcuts of compatible fabric.
Sewing stretch is easy and rewarding. You just need the right needle, optional twin needle and a zig zag stitch. I haven't tried that stretchy thread. I find the seams need more tacking than recommended. Stitching lines, especially at the crossovers, need careful matching. The construction of the front is clever and clearly explained. I marked middles of all pieces, top and bottom.
The pattern invites you to change the order of work if you wish. I attached the neckband before sewing the sleeves.
The body is shortish. Length could be added at the bottom.
Once again, I forgot that I am beginning to need a high round back adjustment and the higher collar of Version A cuts across my throat slightly. I will have to wear it a lot before I get much older!

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.
