GET INSPIRED #SewingBillie
Love this pattern. Made it in vibrant pink French Terry jersey fabric so not as thick as sweatshirt fabric. Initially I made it with the balloon sleeves but then tried it with the straighter sleeves and much preferred this design on me although I did like the balloon sleeves - just didn't look right on me. Sizing was right and instructions easy to follow.
Took up sewing in October attending few lessons with amazing patient girls at local sewing shop. They gave me the confidence to try various things and I nervously bought my first pattern . Tilly and and the Buttons Billy sweatshirt . I carefully read traced cut followed the step by step easy to follow and clear instructions couldn't believe as I saw my garment beginning to come together . Super chuft and proud I'm on my second one for my daughter. I've preordered the mini makes and will be sticking with these patterns feel you can't go wrong and there's help available if you need it which is a fantastic service.
Another fabulous pattern. Nice clear instructions, and fits a dream. Don't know if I am alone but,Tilly's pattern pictures do not always sell the pattern to me. However, when I start to see the makes on social media _ I'm in!!!
Love, love, love!
This pattern is so easy to follow with its step by step photo instructions and hints and tips too.
It is also a quick make that is perfect for this time of year as the weather starts to turn.
This was the first time of using Tilly patterns. The quality of the pattern is good with clear directions for sewing. The sizing was fine for me, although I did go a size higher because it was a new pattern, but next time I will make it to my size. I did not use sweatshirt material but used Model Jersey also the first time of using a stretch material, but I liked the finished top. For me the neckline was a little high so I will make it of the smallest size next time. Generally I am happy with everything but would like more patterns on dresses WITHOUT gathers as I find some of them too frilly.
Thank you so much for sharing your Billie make. Team Buttons x
