Buy the Tilda Dress sewing pattern from Fibre Mood. Tilda is an understated shirtdress that's both practical and trendy, with a button closure and plain, set-in short sleeves. The fairy dust to Tilda’s straight cut and relaxed waist is the collar. Embrace your imagination and add a layer of ruffled fabric or lace trim between the collar pieces, or go for a simpler look and omit the collar altogether.

Tilda Dress - Fibre Mood

The abstract print on this fabric caught my eye and I thought it would lend itself well to this gorgeous pattern.

It has a lovely drape but enough structure to hold the shape of this fabulous collar.

I made a size 18 based on my bust and waist measurements and it fits really well. It’s a really simple sew and came together really quickly. The fabric frayed quite a bit so I decided to sew french seams, it give such a neat finish!

I am still loving big collars and this pattern doesn’t disappoint. It’s really simple to attach and finished with bias binding.

I always get a bit nervous sewing buttonholes but I took my time and my machine didn’t let me down! I used some beautiful mother of pearl buttons to finish and love the way it turned out.

Collar perfection!

I'm a big fan of the Fibre Mood Tilda blouse. I made a straight size 40 (UK 12) and made no alterations - I've generally found Fibre Mood patterns to be true to size and this was no exception. The pattern is technically a dress but I just shortened the front and back bodice pieces where it reached the hip and then re-added the seam allowance to make it blouse length. The collar is by far the best thing about this blouse - it's right on trend in the big collar camp but without feeling too over the top. I'm wearing Tilda with the Fibre Mood Betty high-waisted jeans.

In general it was a fairly straightforward make - there are no bust darts so the trickiest part is adding the bias strip around the neckline to neaten the collar/neckline seam (but the nice thing is that any untidyness in sewing the bias is hidden under the large collar). The front placket is formed by folding the pattern piece back on itself rather than using a facing / separate placket piece, which made cutting out a lot quicker as there were only 5 pattern pieces.

I made my version out of a retro print ecovero (from my shop Bornella Fabrics) and then decided to have a white tencel contrast collar to make it feel more vintage. This pattern works nicely in drapey fabrics like viscose or tencel but I think you could easily use cotton or linen or another lightweight woven as well.

In general I'd really recommend this pattern - made out of different fabrics you could easily make something more formal for work, or keep things more casual and fun so I think it's really versatile. I can see me getting a lot of wear out of this top .

Happy sewing

Tilda dress as floral Shirt version

The Fibre Mood Tilda Shirtdress is one of the patterns that can be found in the newest Fibre Mood magazine. The dress has a stylish look with a V-neckline that is finished with a big collar. The sleeves have an elbow length. The pattern invites you to turn into your own style.

I decided to make a shirt because it's more practical now we are heading to the more colder Autumn days and gave my version long sleeves. After some deliberation I used contrast fabric for the collar, sleeve placket and cuffs. While I was stitching the sleeve placket I decided to give it with same slightly oblique line as the collar. My eye fell on still unused cufflinks with scissors. The decision was made: I gave the cuffs also a slightly oblique line. So finally my once bought cufflinks have finally found their place in a garment.

This pattern is marked with 2 out of 5 stars. It has no bust darts or figure darts. The collar has no stand and due to the size it’s easy to attach to neckline. Once the collar is set in it is finished with a clean bias binding finish. If you use contrast fabric and matching yarn you’ll spend some more time changing the yarn a few times. This really is a good pattern and easy to change into a long sleeved version.

I don’t always buy the magazine and have used their PDF-patterns too. There’s a difference between both versions. If you use the pattern form the magazine you need to add seam allowances around the paper pattern pieces or to the fabric before cutting them out. But if you use the PDF-pattern you can print the pattern with or without seam allowances.
