We chose this pattern for my daughter's first go at making 'jeans.' They came up very nicely in a denim linen blend. Side button closures were the favourite feature. She added some patch pockets at the back instead of welt pockets. Instructions were clear for the most part, clearer illustrations would have helped for a couple of the steps.
Clear and precise instructions resulted in a very smart garment that I will be delighted to wear.
I found the pattern easy to follow, fit was perfect. I liked that it had drop shoulders as I find tops with normal sleeves I have to adjust the measurement from neck to shoulder as I have small shoulders. Had some fabric left over so made a flower removable pin & covered some buttons to make earrings to match.
Loved making this wrap dress in my yellow floral fabric from De Linum. The instructions were a little hard to follow at times, but I found the blog tutorial over at Style Arc. I made the long sleeve version and I love it!
Pattern was easy to follow. Very clear instructions. Am keen to make another pair in a linen fabric. The fit was pleasing.

Its just what I've been looking for! I'm now collecting fabric to make it. It will be perfect for summer. Thank you!
I tried to sew this blouse and gave up. The collar is too tricky and life is too short to waste time trying to figure it out.
I love this blazer pattern, it was easy to use and the fit is great. I made it as a light weight cover to wear with dresses in between season and evenings. I am very happy with the casual style. I would recommend this pattern brand.
Half way through sewing and find it easy and i am sure the result will be good

Loved the pattern easy to sew. I used scrap fabric to make a new blouse
At last a pattern which requires minimal alterations (I am tall) to fit my curves. Extremely happy with the result.
your quick & efficient response to my issues were greatly appreciated
I recently purchase some patterns from you guys, only I did not realise that 1 had to be downloaded, I am not very proficient at those things so your lovely staff member was kind enough to give me a refund on that pattern & sent me a voucher for the purchase price. That was very kind & I am very grateful, the extra pattern that I chose has been delivered today & I am one very happy client.
