Don't get overwhelmed - the final product is worth it!

My daughter wanted to be an elve for Halloween, so the Monarch wings really came in handy. The included coloring sheet is a very nice touch, giving the child the possibility to design their own wings.
When I read the tutorial for the first time I was quite overwhelmed. But once I started and just followed the tutorial step by step, it was easier in the end than initially feard. Though it takes some time: Having three small children I only sewed in the evening for about 2 hours each time and needed around 4 evenings to finish the wings.
But I am really happy with the result - as is my daughter. Thank you for this beautiful pattern!

Beautiful pattern and easy to sew

I sewed the pathfinder vest for my son's Halloween costume. It was my first time sewing a vest and I was very nervous about the buttons and the part where the sides ar sewn together. But it was so clearly and understandable written that it was really easy in the end. Thank you for this beautiful pattern!

A variety of coats an d jackets.

I used the pattern several times to make a spring and summer jacket version . I only had pictures of one version - a winter version will certainly be coming soon. Great pattern, easy to follow and the collar and pocket variations are a great asset. Wonderful projector files.

I prefer the pant version

I made one dungaree and since then five different pair of pants from that pattern. It has become my favourite pattern for comfortable pants. I adore them and will certainly make more. The pattern is fabulous and the instructions super clear. If you are used to Twig and Tale patterns you find some techniques that are also used in other patterns which is a gerat help.

Fly away!

I made a pair of dragon wings for my husband’s grandson on his fifth birthday - unfortunately, I don’t have pictures of him wearing them, but he was very happy. I broke a needle or two in the process of making them and would choose a different fabric - I used a denim which was already heavy and then a quite rigid reinforcement - but they are very much appreciated. The instructions were flawless as usual.
