I made a pair for my husband recently and they have been his most worn shorts of late. So much so, that I asked if he would like another pair. The fit is great! The tutorial gives you all the help with how to pick a size and how to construct. Highly recommend!
I really loved making the Driftwood Blouse! The instructions are excellent, but what I appreciated most was how much thought has clearly gone into the construction. There were so many little moments while I was sewing where I thought, “Oh, that’s clever!” Everything just came together so nicely.
I made the long-sleeved version in a lightweight cotton gingham, and I love how it turned out. The gathers at the neckline and sleeves give it such a pretty, relaxed shape, and it’s really comfortable to wear.
This isn’t my first Twig + Tale pattern, and this is exactly why I keep coming back to them. The instructions don’t just tell you what to do—they seem to anticipate the places where you might get confused and guide you through them. I never felt like I had to stop and puzzle out what the designer meant.
I’m really happy with my Driftwood—I can definitely see another one in my future.
The Wildvine Top pushed my comfort levels in wonderful ways. I had never sewn a corset-style piece before, and as a self-taught, time-conscious māmā of 2 under 2, I was very nervous about how intricate it looked. To my surprise, it was very straightforward and super easy to follow. I chose a linen-look material, which involved a few extra steps of ironing on interfacing, but other than that, it did not take too much time to whip up. If I can do it, so can you! After seeing the hem version layered and styled in so many different ways, I definitely plan on making a few in that style to go with multiple of my other fun patterned dresses :D. While I tend to dress more 20s-50s in my style, I do love cosplay, and adding a fun bold print will bring this to my everyday wear rotation.
Such a joy to sew and another joy to wrap it up for a very happy 5 year old. I followed the base directions exactly using the 5-7 size classic with pixie hood. The fabric I used was pink twill and a soft quilting cotton in pink toned floral. The thing I loved most about this pattern was how easy it was to make reversible. I did make a simple hack adding patch pockets on the lining/floral side. I will definitely be making this again.
The Wildvine Top was such a fun sew! I absolutely love the unique laced side details—they make the design really stand out. It's a versatile pattern that's perfect for layering in cooler weather or wearing on its own when it's warm. It offers just the right amount of challenge to keep things interesting, making it a really rewarding project to sew. Definitely one I'd recommend if you're looking to build your skills while creating a beautiful, wearable garment.
