Customer Reviews
I havent printed it or sewn it but I had no problem getting iy
As a newbie to the sewing world, I found this pattern super fun and challenging but easy to follow. A few things I would do differently…
- Make sure I don’t sew the rouleau too far into the dress, I made a beautiful tie from the plaid fabric but couldn’t fit it through my top loops! So I pivoted to this pretty cord.
- I would be more careful about cutting accurately and lining up the edges… something small can become a bigger issue, I had to abandon ship on the last step of sewing the hidden hem because it exposed how uneven the lining was sewn! Oops!
Otherwise I am so happy with how it came out and can’t wait to try again!
So excited to go fabric shopping for this pattern! Its gonna be so awesome!!
I made my wearable toile from a king single double sided quilt/duvet cover. I did a simple V neck and ommited the collar/hood. I'm short and big chested so did the full bust adjustment and shortened it a lot. I did not line the sleeves as I wanted something lighter to throw on after swimming and in summer evenings.
This design is stunning! It’s such a beautiful fit and finish. I used a thrifted coverlet and bound the edges and seams rather than lining it. The instructions were wonderful and the fit is perfect.
This is such a beautiful coat- yes I was initially apprehensive - it has been a long time since I have made a full length lined coat with tailored sleeves - but the pattern is so well explained that it is very straightforward to sew your own beautiful version.
I used a light tweed coat weight fabric and I won't lie it was a weighty beast when I got to the final stages- but just make sure you have a big clear sewing space and all will come together beautifully. I chose to use a 'proper' coat lining which was a good move as the coat eases on over my clothes- if you want a different fabric for the main coat lining I would suggest using a silky sleeve lining.
