Prompt delivery great pattern paper

If you're looking for a great hoodie pattern-- Look no further! Detailed instructions with a lot of style lines that elevate this pattern. I am 5' 4 1/2" and I opted for the taller pattern and I like the fit with no adjustments. I used a very thick 11.5 oz 100 percent cotton sweatshirting with very little stretch. It's very cozy and it's going to a winter staple. Next time I won't try to do the twill tape finish on the hood because my fabric was too thick.

Made this up in a wool suiting over Christmas last year. I'm glad I made a toile as the first size I cut was too small. The instructions were clear, apart from the steps about attaching the skirt and lining hems together. I will definitely be making this pattern again!

Loved making this, looks beautiful on.
I’m 5ft and made the short skirt version l. Bear in mind the pattern uses a lot of fabric.
I made mistakes in the pattern but purely my fault, rectified it. It’s so worth it.

I bought this pattern 3 or 4 years ago and made both versions at the time. Decided to get it out after seeing it trending again as I had some ponte from Fabworks i wasn't sure what to do with.

Run up version 2 quickly in an hour and a half, popped it straight on to go out for the day!

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 finally decided that I needed one of these dresses after seeing lots of lovely versions on Instagram!
I enjoyed sewing the dress and found the instructions easy to follow. You need to be precise when sewing the collar and zip, but other than that it's a fairly straightforward pattern.
I sized down and took a bit of extra width out of the side seams to get the fit I wanted. I also lengthened the bodice by 1.5", which is fairly standard for me.
The longer skirt (views B and C) is VERY long. I'm about 5'9" and it came out ankle length on me. I ended up cutting off 7" and using a 2" hem instead of the 5/8" hem called for in the instructions. I'd definitely recommend checking what skirt length you want before cutting to save yourself some fabric.
The fabric that I used is a cotton twill, which is a really nice weight for this pattern.
There's a review with more details and photos on my blog here: https://nightingaleanddolittle.blogspot.com/2025/10/mccalls-8553-zip-front-dress.html

My go-to service for printing patterns. Can't fault them.

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.

It's a lovely design. Very smart. The four is really due to my difficulty in following what I thought were some quite detailed instructions requiring more knowledge of tailoring than I have: bagging out lining, shoulder pads and welt pockets with flaps.
The wool fabric frayed like anything so using that made it difficult too. I didn't make the pockets because putting anything in them would ruin the line. Just the flaps are there! Haven't done the button hole either for the same reason.
There is a video sewalong in French which is not surprising since that's where the designer is from but it is a bit perfunctory. The English subtitles obscure the pictures.
I keep saying this: toile it! I already have some fabric to try out my next jacket ....

perfect user experience, the PDF comes with layers the help the sewing process

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.

The SOI Carly Top/Dress is my new favourite pattern. I bought the pattern a few months ago and like it so much that I have made three tops in different jersey fabrics. I also purchased the SOI Carly Hack tutorial which demonstrates how to convert the placket into a zipper opening and create a flat collar. This tutorial is a good buy, provides easy to follow instructions and creates a cute version of this design. I also like the shaping of the top created by bust darts and a back seam, which elevates it above standard t-shirts. It is important to use a medium weight jersey for this design; stability in the fabric is needed when constructing the opening, either the button placket or the zipper opening. I have used a ribbed jersey, a waffle jersey and a brushed jersey which all handle slightly different but have produced good results. I don't believe that using a light weight jersey with a lot of drape would be successful. The opening and collar construction require care but after that it is very easy to complete the garment. The instruction booklet is very clear and illustrations are good.

Highly recommend!

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!

Interesting take on a sweat shirt.
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!

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.

It must be said that quite a few people, including me, have liked this pattern enough to persevere with it after several "fails". I cut a size E and added two inches to the length because I wanted to make sure it would fit over other garments but I think the longer length takes away some of the sassiness of the high pockets.
There is a lot of scrolling to do when following instructions. View B (jacket) begins on Page 42 but several times refers back to details embedded somewhere in View A (coat).
The different sized pattern pieces are only identified by contrasting markings. I would advise highlighting the size you are cutting/tracing in order to follow precisely.
As the pieces are straight, I did not see any reason to cut the jacket back in two halves. These are there for the view A coat vent. I redrew the piece to remove the seam allowances and cut it on the fold. This was fine.
The seam allowances, notches and flat fell seams all caused me problems.
Fortunately, I had cut a larger size than needed. You are warned from the start that seam allowances vary and are noted in each step so I thought there must be some good reason for this. The allowances for the raglans are very narrow for flat felling. It was difficult to get a good turn under. There is no instruction to mark notches by another method other than cutting. The cuts go so far into the fabric that they can still be seen after the flat fell turn is made. Fortunately (again), I had cut a larger size than required so was able to turn in the seams further than stated. In future I would cut 5/8" seams throughout and mark the notches with chalk.
The jacket instructions and illustrations clearly indicate flat fell seams, top stitched in a contrasting thread, in this order: on the raglan seams, along the underarm and side seams and finally along the shoulder and top sleeve seams. When I came to the last, it was clearly impossible to feed the bulk of the top seam through my machine because the sleeve "tunnel" was too long and narrow.
At this stage I sought help from Foldliners on the FB page who confirmed that they knew of, or had experienced this issue. There is a sew-along video on the Guthri and Ghani website. It costs £6 and I didn't buy it but the illustrations show much more binding of seams and much less flat felling than recommended in the jacket instructions. Some of the models also have bust darts. That isn't an issue for me but you might want to consider it if more endowed in that area.
Having already had the raglans apart, I unpicked the other seams and flat felled the top sleeve and shoulder since this is much more on show. I then closed and bound the underarm and side seams. This overcame another issue which was the bulk of flat fell seaming where they had crossed under the arm pits.
The back neck facing seemed oddly short but I managed to trim and force it. I don't think I had cut the wrong size.
I hadn't planned a toile because I saw no obvious fit issues but, in effect, this became one. I used two metres of Fabric Godmother printed denim and managed to pattern match the front closing more or less. It really wasn't my day because, although I prewashed the fabric in the usual way, it has remained very stiff.
I don't think there was anything else annoying about this pattern. I will wear the jacket and don't rule out another one in a hopefully better-behaved denim from my stash.

I have to confess I haven’t made this yet. I bought the pattern because I really liked the style lines and yhe top stitching detail. Looking forward to the construction.

Brilliant service and reasonably priced. Have used a few times and very impressed

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

I am so pleased with this jacket, but it was not a straightforward make. The illustrations could have been clearer and there is definitely some assumed knowledge. It was not my first go at making welt pockets and I turned the air blue trying to work out the instructions but I got there in the end.
The only changes I made were to lengthen the sleeves slightly and I bound the seams for a bit more structure, down to my choice of fabric, rather than the pattern.
I love wearing it and have been getting lots of compliments. Bonus points for the double pockets too!

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.
