Perfect for an adventurous beginner

I'm an adventurous beginner when it comes to sewing adult clothing, and the instructions for this dress made it such an enjoyable experience! My dress is by no means perfect, but I'm really looking forward to making some more of these

Awesome instructions!

My first pattern was a twig and tale for my girls and then I did a bunch of other patterns for knits. When I decided to make my first woven shirt for myself, I went back to twig and tale. The instructions are the clearest of any pattern and I LOVE the videos. I haven’t finished the shirt yet - but assuming the fit is good, I will be back for more twig and tale patterns and will be singing your praises on other sites of the internet!

A lovely summery blouse!

Lovely pattern, clear instructions and particularly liked the video tutorials. Might make size smaller next time but also like the blousy feel for the summer. Decided to do a draw string at the waist and shortened. Have been sewing clothes for about 12 months, learnt some new skills, a satisfying make.Will recommend your patterns to friends. A lovely summery blouse.

Great pattern, east to follow and beautiful fit. Made a long sleeve with cuff and plan to make more.
