This is my second Edie top as I love this patternand always get compliments when I wear the blue version. I made a size 12 but added 11cm to the hem this time. This is in Merchant & Mills Whisper ikat cotton.

My first lined jacket…great support from the Wardrobe By Me accompanying video. I made this in a thick springy wool, which resulted in the cosiest jacket ever…but needed a fair bit of manhandling, not to mention pattern matching for the checks - would love to make again in a plain canvas for an easier life. Instructions were clear, I found it a straightforward make…was overwhelmed at first by the prospect of lining it (and all the pieces involved) but took it step by step and it came together without any hitches. Had a slight dread over the huge zip…but again, watching the video really helped.

I always come back to the Kylie and the machine labels , such a lovely range to choose from .
Never had any fray really good quality .
Finish your garment to look more professional

Made this as part of the Fabric Godmother dream wardrobe and could not stop wearing it. Hacked it slightly by lengthening the sleeves and bodices, then binding the sleeve cuffs and turning the hem up to add an elastic cord so it can be worn cropped or longer - my machine gave up sewing the hem in place on the fleece fabric so had to hand sew it in place. It’s so cosy and the zipper gives you the option to feel even cosier when zipped up. A little tricky but don’t be put off, it’s a very satisfying sew, just take your time.

A lovely top too make I chose linen as always Tessuti instructions are very clear with images to follow every step .
I opted not to interface the waistband or the VNeck insert
A nice boxy yet classic style

The Reya trousers are fairly simple and quick to sew. I found the instructions really easy to follow, and had no trouble at all during the sewing process.

I really like the pin tuck detail down the front of the trousers – I think it elevates the pattern a bit, and stops the trousers looking too much like pyjamas!

I made the size recommended for my measurements, and I think the fit turned out well.

I'm 5'9" and the finished length of my trousers is just a bit longer than the 28" inseam version of the pattern (I cut the 30" inseam length, but ended up shortening it a bit).

I made my Reya trousers using a needlecord, which is a really good fabric for this pattern in my opinion.

The finished trousers are so comfy, and I really enjoy wearing them!

I was already a fan of the original Donny shirt when this expansion was released, so I really liked the idea of making the pattern more versatile by having long sleeves.

As with the main Donny pattern, the instructions are really good and easy to understand.

The sleeves feature a bound placket – this is a technique I've used a few times before, but I think following these instructions made it easier to get a really neat finish than on my previous attempts.

For this version, I lengthened the body of my shirt by 2 inches. I'm about 5'9" and my other versions are a bit cropped, which I love for summer, but I thought it might be nice to have a bit more length on this long-sleeved version.

I'm really happy with how my long-sleeved Donny turned out, and I'd definitely recommend both the original pattern and this expansion.

There are an incredible number of sizes on offer with the pattern, and you really do have to carefully consider which one to choose. When looking at the sizing, I came out as a size 12, when I am usually a size 14.

I didn't have the patience to make a toile, and I didn't want to waste my fabric, so I cut out a size 14 just in case. However, I soon had to go back and recut the pattern pieces when I realised that it would be too big for me.

The instructions are comprehensive and the tailoring tips given at each section really help you obtain the perfect finish and fit.

I made a few adjustments to the proportion of this particular dress and opted for a bound neckline and lined frill to the sleeve.

This dress has the potential for various variations on this theme. So with a little imagination, this pattern is more versatile than it initially appears.

This jacket is so stylish and beautifully photographed that I couldn’t resist! Based on a toile of the 40 I shortened the bodice by 1.25” and widened the back 3/8” (I’m 5’6”). This fabric is a lightweight brocade with a bit of body, gifted by a friend so I don’t know the composition. The instructions are clear and it’s a pretty straightforward sew. I love the result and will definitely make it again!

My 14 year old kid wanted a 'Hawaiian shirt' / bowling shirt, which we worked out meant a shirt with a camp collar and short sleeves. This pattern, which I already had, fitted the bill well. I made a size 0 as my kid is a skinny teen and it has worked great as an overshirt. The collar is straightforward as it has no collar stand, meaning it all comes together quite quickly, and the Liesl & Co instructions are always very helpful and clear. Very happy with the results.

Made this today in a cotton lawn which I had ice dyed. I made the ruffle collar which looks wonderful. After seeing someone at a sewcial wearing one, she advised that it has lots of ease. I used the finished garment measurements to determine size. I ended up cutting the smallest size in cup D. I usually cut an indie 12/14 UK size for a C/D cup. Next time I think I will take some of the hem swing out of the sides but this one is fab.

Loved this pattern. Bought it when it first came out then life got in the way, until now. This is the wearable toile with a light twill from Fabric Godmother. I didn't need to alter the rise but did need to grade from a size 14 waist to a size 10 hip. There were no issues with the process. When flat fell seaming, I was taught to start with the wrong sides together so that after trimming and turning the seam allowance under, the top stitch on the turn is on the right side of the fabric. I've come across other American patterns besides this one where the turn finishes up on the inside. Clearly, they do things differently there. I've got better at measuring and marking top stitching paths but still sometimes forget about changing stitch lengths and needle positions. Need that post-it back on my machine!
I made view B. The front pockets are good and deep but not easy to get hands into and I'm wanting to reach in from the side. Actually carrying anything in them would spoil the line so perhaps best just left as decoration.

I was nervous about making the bodice as I had never made a collar before. However the instructions were clear and the full colour photos really helped. I loved making this, although the gathers in denim needed some patience. I made this for my eldest, can’t wait to make one for me. I cut a size 14 D cup and the smallest size skirt because I didn’t want it too full in a heavy denim. The photo isn’t great but just had time to take a quick snap before taking it to my daughter!

I’ve made two of these now, one in the longer length and one in the shorter. The choice of fabric and of pocket details make all the difference for this, because the pattern itself is pretty simple with little shaping. I chose a Robert Kaufman sturdy flannel and used some scrap needlecord for extra elements as the flannel was in a narrow width and I ran short. It’s made a really successful light jacket, great for autumn and for spring. I wasn’t sure what buttons to use and had a brainwave - self-covered buttons for the win!

I absolutely love this skirt, it sits flat over tummy and hips and has a gorgeous fullness in the skirt so it swishes.

The cutting and sewing instructions are good, especially on putting on the waistband and invisible zip, it wasn't a quick sew but is definitely worth the effort

I've made a knee length version in denim and a longer one in the wax print and have plans to make summer ones in swishy viscose.
