Sweet doll clothes with lots of variety.

I’ve made the set of 10 items and loved the experience. Lots of fun details, easy to follow instructions and they fit our Minikane doll fairly well.

Love!

Made the overalls over two days and it was a lovely experience. I definitely needed the video tutorial to figure out how to attach the side straps to the bib and really appreciated how clear the video was. Overall these instructions really set anyone up for a successful make! I will definitely be making again.

Absolutely delightful sewing

Sewing pants for the first time was absolutely zero issue with this pattern. These were supposed to be a test pair, to check my size, but they ended up fitting so well that I’ve been wearing them every day since I finished them!

Loved sewing this!

I received a complimentary copy of this pattern as part of the sew and show team.

I found it fantastic. As with all T&T patterns the instructions are very detailed and come with a supporting video for better visualization. There’s a lot of fitting tips in the instructions though I personally didn’t need a lot of adjustment (pretty much only to the length). I especially liked how in the instructions they give you loads of finished garment measurements so you pretty much knew what you needed to adjust before you even toiled.

The construction was super neat and it made for a very satisfying sew! Am looking forward to sewing more versions as the warm weather comes around.

Perfect breezy summer top

Great options and instructions to help you create a shirt and test new techniques. This first one was made for a book week costume (pictured) with the collar omitted, but this pattern will be well used, as it’s perfect for sun protection, but still cool and breezy - a good choice for the Aussie outback. I am excited to make many more.
