I’ve made my first Breeze for our daughter and although there’s a couple of mistakes they’re not bad, I just love that Jen loves it…not quite finished but it will be later today. I’m doing the open sides at the bottom. It looks lovely on our daughter Jenna. Xx
This shirt is an absolute joy to make. Clear, accurate instructions and it all fits together well to give you a garment that you will love to wear. Make the shirt or the tunic - both are an awesome addition to your wardrobe!
As usual, Twig and Tale offer an easy to follow quality pattern.
It is just great!
Duidelijk patroon met een perfecte pasvorm. De french deels maken het af! Helemaal weg van het patroon, binnenkort een maken voor manlief.
French seams! Having never sewn French seams before, this tutorial explains them perfectly, and links to additional resources on the Twig + Tale website. The result is that my new shirt is beautiful inside and out. I love that I grow my sewing skills with each new T+T pattern that I make, and I’m excited that I can make myself clothes that are comfortable, fit beautifully and are flattering. This pattern will be a staple in my wardrobe.
The Breeze pattern has such incredibly clear instructions that even a begginer, like myself, can make a shirt that is full of beautiful details! From the French seams, to the collar and shirt sleeve tabs, I still can't believe that I was able to accomplish so much in such a short time. The Breeze shirt is so comfortable and is perfect to wear in the Texas heat. With great options like a tunic length and flutter sleeves, I know I'll be making many more in the future!
This pattern has such beautiful, professional finishes it made me feel like a professional seamstress! Clear instructions as always this breeze came together quick and easy and made me feel unexpectedly fabulous 👌
An easy sew with great instructions this shirt is a flowy thing that makes me want to be hanging out at a resort. The simple lines of it I make it ripe for pattern hacking.
I love the look of this pattern and the one I made for my partner came together so perfectly because the tutorial is great! Always love t&t patterns and have waited so long to try the breeze. Highly recommended
The different alternatives of this sewing pattern allow it to be a very versatile garment. In my case, the first time I sewed it as a dress, lengthening the skirt of the tunic.
One of the details that I love the most is the ruching at the back. It is something optional that gives you a feminine touch accentuating the waist without losing comfort. I'm sure I'll sew the pattern again with another fabric and using other options.
Definetly, it has become one of my summer basics!
