Tilly and the Buttons

I've just made my daughter who's expecting a pair of Erin dungarees in a dark red canvas with a pretty cotton lining.
She is very pleased with them, I made one size up and she hopes to wear them for breastfeeding too.
Tilly, as usual your instructions are faultless, I've also made her Bettine and Agnes outfits too.

I have never sewn a garment before and, to be honest, until last year I haven’t used a sewing machine since I was about twelve (a lot of years ago now!) However, I followed the video and have made a wearable top. The video was amazing, so easy to follow and the instructions were clear and precise. The pattern was also easy to use This is a great beginners package! Buy it and make a top! It is great value for money. I have ordered more material to make it again with different sleeves to consolidate my learning. Big thanks to the Tilly and the Buttons team.

I bought some lovely linen mix at the end of last summer and started looking for the ideal pattern!
I finally found the Mabel Dress and Shirt pattern and decided to go for it!
I absolutely love shirring - find it quite easy and love the effect.
I found the instructions easy to follow although I didn’t read them properly and used elastic around the whole sleeve head….. I like the way it fits though!
I added inseam pockets as I think all dresses should have pockets!!!!
Loved the fact that you didn’t have to print out the extra pattern to extend the shirt into the dress - just adding the required length on - saving the world one piece of paper at the time!
All in all I’m very happy with the way it turned out and will definitely make another when I find the next perfect fabric!

I ordered this pattern whilst I was on holiday and was delighted to find it here when I arrived home. It’s the first printed pattern I’ve ordered from TATB and I’m delighted with the quality of both the pattern and the lovely accompanying booklet. There’s also lots of great support online I’ve already managed to cut out the pieces I want but haven’t had time to decide on fabric and start sewing, yet. I’m really keen to get the trousers made……I love the style and think they’ll be perfect for me.

Simple, versatile, useful pattern. Made in viscose - elegant result! Love it, will make more.

I decided it wasn't for me so have resold it to another interested party !

Had great plans of starting this project but life took over looking after a poorly relative . But I've lots of fabric to try on this so will forward picture when I eventually get time to myself . Excited for this one .

I’m absolutely in love with this pattern! As a relatively novice I found it just challenging enough, with the opportunity to learn a few new skills along the way. Everything was really well explained and the links to the extra tutorials were incredibly helpful.
I’ve already made a second Luella, and have downloaded several more of your patterns too. Thank you! x

I am so pleased with my swimming costume. I have never made one before and Tilly’s instructions were brilliant and easy to follow. I thought a swimming costume would be beyond me but I’m so happy with the result. I had to grade up two sizes at the waist but that was easy to do with the instructions. I’ll definitely be making more.

I'm a 'confident beginner' and this was my first shirt. It was so straight forward to follow the instructions and I'm so pleased with the outcome. I chose to do a 3/4 sleeve with no cuffs as it's for the summer, but will make loads of these shirts I'm sure!

Mature lady revisiting home sewing. I found the videos extremely helpful, couldn’t have managed without! Had some unpicking to do but wil definitely make other shirts and will attempt the cuffed version.

Super easy to do, I am happy with the results (and my husband is too). Going to make another short version and the long one as well. I wished there was an option for pockets.

This is genuinely one of the best patterns I have ever used. Directions are incredibly clear and well-explained. I’m very happy with the finished product!

Such an awesome free pattern! Perfect for beginners :)

I have now made two Samara tops, one in cotton lawn and the other in cotton poplin. I'm an experienced dressmaker and historical re-enactor who spends most of her sewing time making Victorian clothing (including corsets) or WW2 vintage outfits, so it was pure pleasure to sew something quick and simple. Putting the pdf pattern together was so much easier than many that I have used from other designers and the instructions really clear too. I can see me making variations of the Samara for the summer (if we ever get one, that is!).
