GET INSPIRED #SewingBillie
I have many tops with this - my favourite pattern but I decided to make the dress. I made slight variations for my 5'2'' frame and age 71. I lengthened it by 4 inches and didn't use the band. I am loving it, I have made loads of tops for Autumn/Winter but this is the first jersey dress I have made.
I have made another 2 tops with thicker material for the cooler months. I find this pattern so easy to sew and the quality of the instructions and paper is great. It is my go to pattern, well worth the money. I find that Tilly and the buttons patterns are of good sizing. Thank you.x
Billie sweatshirt has so many options . I did mine with plain sleeves and left bottom without ribbing . Made with a textured stretch fabric one for me one for my daughter super comfortable. Easy to follow instructions with photos if I can do it anyone can ! And I've only been sewing for a year.
I love this pattern. This was the first pattern I purchased from Tilly and the Buttons and I found it so easy to understand, with fabulous written and picture instructions. It has worked very well with the jersey stretch as in the pictures. I plan to make the dress very soon. I am 5ft 2ins and the measurements are fine for me, but maybe would suggest making it longer if you are taller than me, but it's personal choice. Happy Sewing.
This is my absolute favourite pattern. I've used it so many times. The dress is so comfy and I have made it in different weight stretch knit for different seasons. So cosy for winter and I made three matching ones out of Xmas fabric for 3 generations to wear on Xmas eve. Love it!
