Love it

Lovely pattern, clear instructions

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!

Hi Lorraine, thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m so glad you enjoyed making the Luella skirt and that the instructions helped you ease back into it each time, yay! Happy sewing whenever you get the time! Virginija x

Great pattern

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!

Hi there, thank you so much for your lovely review! It’s amazing to hear how much your confidence has grown - well done, you're doing great! Your red seersucker Luella is absoluely gorgeous, and I’m so glad you’re enjoying building your skills at home. Happy sewing! Virginija x

Not used yet, but looks easy to follow .

Hi Linda, thanks so much for your lovely review! Hope you enjoy sewing up the skirt and feel free to get in touch if you need any help along the way. :) Happy sewing! Virginija x

Lushing over Luella

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

Hi Lorraine, thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m so happy to hear you’ve been converted, and that Luella worked perfectly with your tweaks. Can’t wait to see what you make next. Happy sewing! Virginija x
