                  Brilliant

                  My first ever trouser pattern. Simple to make but look lovely. As usual straightforward and precise instructions. Back pocket a bit big for me but easily changed . Highly recommended

                  Amazing! Thank you so much for recommending. May they be the first of many Winnie trousers for you! Abi x

                  Great construction

                  i do like this pattern BUT based on my measurements the finished trouser was far too big.
                  I have downsized by 3 sizes and will try again because the pattern itself is a lovely shape and i really liked the waistband construction - the written instructions are great

                  Thank you for your feedback Julia. We’re glad you enjoyed the construction details and instructions - hope the smaller size works out perfectly for you. Happy sewing! Abi x

                  Winnie ,Lotta, Samara, Nell

                  As I retired this year I decided to make my own clothes and I've had the best time . I have followed Tilly since The Great British sewing bee and I absolutely love her patterns . The Winnie trousers came up a bit big so will size down next time but I love them , very easy to make up , no zip or buttons which is great for me . LOVE LOVE LOVE the Lotta dress I made mine up in an afternoon , perfect fit and very easy . I slightly adapted the Samara top as the sleeves were a bit too much on me so just shortened them , but another easy make .I made the Nell top with the bows , I absolutely love this top, perfect fit with lots of lovely comments from friends and family. I now have the Nell dress cut out and ready to go . THANK YOU TILLY AND TEAM

                  Hi Julia, this is such a joy to read! We’re thrilled you’ve been sewing your way through so many of our patterns and making them your own. Can’t wait to hear how your Nell dress turns out - thank you so much for your review and happy sewing! Abi x
