Loved this issue of Fibremood and the Foldline shipped it rather fast.
I am so obsessed with the barrel models, I had to have this pattern. It’s perfect, the curve is exaggerated exactly as it should be. The fit was so good, I am making a second pair as we speak.
A fabulous pattern. Straightforward to cut and sew with good instructions and even better sew-along tutorials on YouTube for each step. The dress is easy to alter thanks to the construction which includes side panels as well as front and back. Clever drafting makes this super flattering and the minimalist style means it carries a pattern well but will also look good in plain fabric. I think I'll be making several of these for work and holiday wear. Highly recommended.
This is my daughter modeling a dress I made that is about two sizes too big for her, but it still looks great.
I really like this pattern. I struggled to work out what was going on with the placket but found a very useful sew-along guide on YouTube and it came out so nice. I've made two now; they're perfect for summer, flattering but cool and show off lovely fabric perfectly. Mine are both in cotton but I'm sure it would work very well in linen too.
For some reason I thought this would have ties (I clearly didn't read the description or look at the photos properly). I made it in linen but I have to admit I'm not that keen. It gapes weirdly at the front and I wish I'd made it a bit longer. Probably all my own fault but I don't think I'll be making another.
This is just a great pattern. I made it in a heavyish knit and it came together really easily and looks fabulous on (though I say it myself). Very stylish and comfortable with excellent pockets.
Love this pattern, I’ve made 2 to date. It’s quick to make and depending on the colours/fabrics you choose comes out different every time. Slightly tricky to get the right angle seam perfect but with a bit of ironing it’s sorted! I love Fibre Moods edgier patterns they are simple to follow and always a bit more on trend than other brands. The photo shows a Leona I made from old band t shirts colour blocked. Fun and effective!
This is such a brilliant pattern. Really enjoyable to sew and it taught me how to sew welt pockets .
It turned out so well I’ve now made 4. All were made from fabric left over from other projects. In one case only half a meter as I used lining fabric for the back . It’s the best scap buster ever .
Wonderful pattern for my first adventure in dressmaking. Nicely presented with useful online help and advice.
I’ve made the trouser version of the landers a couple of times, but what I really love this pattern for is the shorts. My wardrobe is full of pairs of lander shorts. I just love them. I loved the shape, but button up fly, the large pockets. They’re the perfect vintage styled shorts.
They come together really quickly and the instructions are good, but the best but they get the job done.
I make at least 3 pairs each year. I can’t get enough of the design. They’re so easy to style and perfect for using denim or heavy cotton scarps.
I cannot recommend this pattern enough, especially if you love a retro aesthetic
I had such high expectations for this pattern but unfortunately it just didn’t turn out like I wanted.
I’ve still given it 5 stars because the drafting and instructions are excellent. But unfortunately the style just didn’t work for me and it was quite tight around the bust. It looks amazing on so many people, but I don’t think the design works for my 5’2” DD figure.
Despite the final result, I did really enjoy sewing it and I can’t fault the pattern.
This review is more to say don’t be disheartened if you see so many amazing versions popping up with everyone looking incredible, this pattern doesn’t suit everyone and that’s ok.
I really wanted a Maxi tank dress for those days in summer where it’s so hot that you can do nothing but melt in a puddle.
As soon as I saw this pattern I knew it was perfect! I loved the dramatic scoop back neckline and the side slits.
It came together really quickly and is so comfortable to wear. I made it in a viscose jersey so it wasn’t too heavy and really helped to keep me cool in the summer.
The instructions are excellent and the fit is perfect. I would really recommend this pattern for the summer. I will be making more and living in them this year.
This is one of my most made jersey tops. It’s a true TNT for me. I love how quickly it sews up and how little fabric it uses.
Not only is it quick to sew, it’s quick to tape together too, you can make it from start to finish, cutting the fabric and taping the pattern in under 2 hours.
It’s a great pattern if you’re having a dip in your sewjo or just want to get though your mountain of jersey scraps.
The instructions are basic, but then the construction is super simple and the drafting is great so it’s a nice quick easy project.
I’ve been wanting to make this pattern for ages, but when I finally got around to it I wanted to see if I could make it in sweatshirting fleece. I’m happy to say they turned out better than expected. Not only are they the comfiest trousers in my wardrobe, but they look amazing.
I made no adjustments to the shape other than to shorten the leg by 1.5” which is a standard adjustment for me.
I made the elastic waist option and they sewed up really quickly and the construction wasn’t nearly as complicated as I had anticipated. I really enjoyed sewing it and the instructions are excellent. I can’t wait to make a woven pair, or more knit pairs.
This is such a lovely pattern, I made it whilst pregnant and it covered my growing bump beautifully. It was a dream to sew, with the instructions being so detailed and beautifully laid out.
The fit was true to the size chart. I made it in a cotton gingham which had the perfect amount of structure and drape.
There is so much potential for hacking, there is a whole series on this on the Sew Liberated blog. It’s also very size inclusive which is fantastic.
I would really recommend this pattern, it was a really enjoyable sew.
I had such high hopes for this pattern, being that it is an absolute cult staple in the sewing community. Unfortunately it just didn’t work for me, the fit was all off, the bust darts were in the wrong place, and it just didn’t work.
I think it has so much potential if you want to spend time hacking and tweaking to get the fit right, but there are other patterns similar which fit better and work better with my body.
I think as a base for hacking it’s a really good block, but for its designed style it just doesn’t work for me and by busty chest
The perfect cottage core pinafore.
This is such a cute pattern and I really enjoyed sewing it. The instructions are excellent and packed with useful information and tips. The drafting is great and sewed up really nicely.
I used a pair of my late nans curtains and I love the vintage effect that it has. It looks so chic and cute.
The fit is great and I love the length. It’s short without being too short, and the pockets at a great size.
As soon as this pattern was released I snapped it up, I’d been looking for the perfect woven top and this was it.
I sewed it up in under an hour with less than a meter of fabric. It was a really simple construction and really easy to sew.
It’s the perfect scrap buster, palette cleanser project. It would be perfect for more formal wear but also looks great styled casually.
The instructions are great and the fit was true to the size chart. This is my go to every time I feel project overwhelm and want to do a project to kickstart my sewjo. I already have 9 in my wardrobe
This was the first button up shirt I ever made and I’ve made several more since. I really like the construction and the grown on sleeve, it’s such a nice design choice.
The only thing I’m not so keen on is how dramatic the back hem drop is, but that’s a design choice and not a problem with the pattern.
The instructions are great and for a more complicated pattern it was actually a really simple construction, not having to sew in the sleeves makes it quick work.
I think this is a great pattern for beginners wanting to dabble in shirt making, I like the shape and the fit. It’s really comfortable and fun to wear
I made this jumpsuit for a new years outfit and I love it! The instructions were fairly basic, but the drafting is good and the construction was straightforward and it was an enjoyable sew. I really like how the final garment turned out and it’s really comfortable. The fit is great, the only adjustments I made were to shorten the legs which is normal as I’m always shorter than the patterns.
I love the design and style of this coat and the finished result, but I found the construction and the instructions quite confusing at times. Luckily I have made enough coats that I could figure it out, but I wouldn’t recommend it for beginners but if you have sewn coats or jackets before it is worth making as the shape and design are really good and the coat is like wearing a snuggly blanket.
My new favourite jogger pattern.
I got to sew these up before the release as a little preview, and I have barely taken them off since that. They are so comfortable and the colour blocking is so much fun!! They sewed up really quickly and the instructions were fantastic. The finished result is so cute and I can’t wait to make more. I have a pair of the shorts planned next.
I made them in size 5 using super thick Sweatshirting from rainbow fabric and they’re so squishy and soft, it’s like wearing a warm cloud. I shortened them by 1.5” because I’m 5’2” and the fit is perfect, it’s very true to size.
I really recommend this pattern if you want to make some comfy loungewear, and pair it with the Drew sweater you have the perfect set.
While this pattern is absolutely lovely, I can't get over how lovely the packaging is for this skirt. It comes in a cardboard envelope with everything neatly arranged inside, with a velcro button.
The instructions are very clear (listed in both English and French), and the pattern is printed on thick paper, rather than the very thin tissue-esque paper I'm used to - which is another nice touch.
