I received this as part of the KATM Christmas bauble and I completely forgot about it until a couple of weeks ago. Since rediscovering it I use it all the time.

Not only is it really helpful for making sure labels are perfectly lined up but it’s also really handy for measuring hems before pressing. It’s the perfect size because it doesn’t get in the way when you’re trying to do fiddly sewing but it has all the measurements you could need.
I’m so glad I found this again because it’s a game changer when it comes to sewing neatly.

These were the first jeans I ever made and since then I’ve made loads more.

I was so nervous when I first tried these as sewing jeans is daunting even for experienced sewers. I needn’t have worried though, the instructions were excellent and the drafting was super high quality.

I was also very lucky to find that the pattern fit me straight out the packet and I only needed to adjust the height not the actual fit.

I have made all versions except 1 (view B). It is my go to when I want a classic 70s style pair of jeans. My favourite is the wide leg view.

I have made them in Denim, corduroy, patchwork denim and cotton twill and all the fabrics have worked great. I even made a hand painted pair of shorts, which I love but unfortunately they’re a little tight on me now.

I honestly cannot recommend this pattern more, especially if you are a beginner wanting to venture into jeans making.

This a very unusual construction and so easy to make and wear. I have made three pairs already and there will definitely be more in the future.

Just loved making this. The pattern was easy to follow and it was really fun to make. It is a really roomy backpack with some really nice details..I just love Sew Librated patterns.

This 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.
