Agnes Jersey Top

I love TATB patterns in general - they are chic (particularly the older ones that have a vintage vibe), and the instructions are faultless. I have made into the teens of Agnes tops in various plains and prints - I love the pattern, particularly the cut puff sleeve version - it's my go-to pattern if I need a knit top.

In my opinion, the patterns from Tilly and the Buttons are the best. They are easy to follow, yet lovely and fun to sew. Tilly's videos are extremely clear and straightforward. Honestly, this brand is my favorite!

love the shape and versatility of this pattern. I made the long ruche-sleeve version in a fun spacey print that was probably meant for toddler's pajamas. I had a massive overlocker fail (i am a newbie and managed to chew a huge hole in the top of the back bodice when I was sewing the sleeve in) but I did a nice visible mend and have worn the top non-stop ever since. The instructions are really clear and love that there are photos, which I can blow up on my phone screen to really see whats going on.
I plan to make this again and again - prints and plain - there is even a simple dress hack!
It would also be a fun one to make as a mini-me for me and the kid, if I could figure out how to scale it down for girl's size.

I must admit I have not made the Agnes top yet, due to the fact that I have been busy making the Frankie T shirt and two Freya sweaters! I was gifted at Christmas with the “ Stretch “ book which they came from. I also have the “ Make it simple “ book and have made the Saify’s trousers , twice! So I have been busy! I have a few TATB patterns now in my collection , I love all things Tilly, the patterns are so easy to follow, the paper pattern paper is good quality, so much better than tissue paper ones. Only one criticism , that is the photos showing you the sewing steps can but hard to follow when the fabric is the same colour and the no difference in right or wrong side.

I bought this pattern years ago and used it so often, but re-ordered it again as I expanded over the last few years! This is my ‘go to’ tee shirt pattern as is so flattering
