Love the Freya but not that fussed about anything else!

Edited to add: I’ve made a lot of Freyas but I haven’t been that bowled over by any of the other patterns. I made the Frankie baseball tee (cute but nothing groundbreaking), Stella hoodie (weird shape) and the Stella joggers (cute but more like leggings).

I’ve been sewing for a couple of years but hadn’t dared touch knit fabrics… until I got this book! Tilly’s instructions and guidance totally put me at ease and now I probably sew more knits that wovens! Freya is my absolute favourite pattern and I’ve just finished my 16th version, although I’ve also made the Stella joggers and hoodie. I’m not a huge fan of tracing patterns, but as there’s no darts and few markings to copy, these are pretty quick to do. If you’ll make more two or more of these patterns, it’s good value for money, ad there’s some good tips for sewing with stretch fabrics.
