Tilly and the Buttons

Made this Samara top/dress (with pockets) - absolutely love it and can’t stop wearing it!!

I don't get a lot of time to sew but this is a good quality pattern with easy and clear instructions which made it simple for me to resume making the skirt each time. The instruction booklet with the clear pictures was a joy to use. I really enjoyed making the Luella skirt!

After 2 Samara shirts and 1 Jaimie pyjama bottoms, I tried the Luella and it was such fun. I've gone from studying every video twice before having a go (with Samara) to being able to follow the written instructions this time. I only got stuck once or twice and even made pockets! This is a size 7 in a seersucker which gathers for the tiers really beautifully. I'm loving the way I can build skills at home. Thank you Tilly and the team!

I've made this twice now - cold weather and warmer weather versions. It was a bit of a prolonged make (at least for me) but only because it involves having to use the overlocker and the sewing machine - and having to switch threads/needles/tensions etc between reuglar sewing and top stitching. The actual make was pretty straightforward. As always, the instructions were great, especially the zip fly insertion video. (The green version was made specifically to go with my Rosa shirt which I also love!)

Love the Samara top, so easy to make and looks great! Already planning another and possibly a smock dress too.

Flexibel n ti sew

Not used yet, but looks easy to follow .

Wasn’t sure if Tilly’s Luella was for me.. I’ve not been a skirt fan and I’m vertically challenged as I put it (4ft 7 in) and ageing gracefully 😊 but ordered pattern anyway as I’ve all Tilly’s books and patterns & love the clear, step by step easy instructions in all her patterns
Well I’m converted .. made this in a lightweight chambray, shortened the length etc and I LOVE it .. so therapeutic to sew up and comes together nicely and very satisfying to sew definitely more on my list Thank you Tilly & Team Buttons .. you’ve made my summer xx

I made Samara X2 first with the online video tutorial which made me feel surprisingly confident for these, . They did come out large, but it may be that I didn't measure myself carefully. Lovely lounge wear and I'm already planning a Luella 😄

This is a wonderful pattern with great instruction. I made an initial draft of the peplum shirt and the fit was perfect. One thing I also love that I think probably goes underappreciated is the size inclusivity. It took a second to figure out but I liked that they made up their own sizing system starting from 1 based on measurements without all the stigma of whatever country's existing sizing system.

The pattern is lovely and easy to follow, especially if you compare to other pattern companies.
I have just started cutting out the fabric for the skirt and I am excited to begin sewing!
I will definitely be purchasing more patterns from Tilly and the Buttons!

I’ve had my server for years and lost confidence with it. This course has given me a reboot- it covers everything about how to use the server. Just what I needed. It is well paced with great graphics/video to show details. Highly recommend for someone new or someone just needing someone to guide them through how to use the serger.

I’ve just started making the skirt, I was dubious about the size, so after cutting out the 1st piece I was amazed the fit round the waist was perfect, then I wasn’t sure to put pockets on as i normally mess up with pockets and it worked, but the instructions are very clear and d the pictures help enormously,
At the moment my first piece has gone well.

I was a bit intimidated by the gathering, but I managed it and made two versions, two and three tiered.

Never made a dress before as I usually make bags. This pattern was great and instructions clear. Going to make another as I love it's easy fit. Brilliant
