GET INSPIRED #SewingIndigo
I am a novice sewist, with this being one of my first garments made. The instructions are very clear and include photos making them very easy to follow (even for a beginner). There are numerous Tilly and the Buttons videos online offering extra guidance if needed. The dress itself is a lovely shape and very comfortable to wear. I was also so impressed with the customer service. I had some specific questions about the pattern and Virginija went out of her way to thoroughly and very kindly help me. I happily recommend this pattern and company. 🌟
Hi Naomi, thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m so happy to hear that all of the resources helped you perfect your Indigo dress. Can’t wait to see what you make next. Happy sewing! Virginija x
The first TATB pattern I've used. What a breath of fresh air, beautifully presented, good quality paper pattern, so easy to trace from and return to the envelope as it came out. Equally, the instructions were well presented and the links to some of the techniques helpful to reinforce my understanding. Not only is the finished product the first I've completed that fits well and I'm happy with but I've already cut out another one ready to go!
Hi Shirley,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed your first TATB pattern experience and that it fit so well – well done! I can't wait to see your next make!
Happy sewing!

As a beginner I thought that there were a lot of steps but they seemed clear and I managed quite well.
The only part I struggled with was doing the frill seam - but will try again.
Would definitely buy another pattern from Tilly & The Buttons

Hope this helps and I can’t wait to see your next Indigo! Happy sewing! VirgInija x
This was my first ‘confident beginner’ pattern which I was slightly apprehensive about. However the instructions were really clear and easy to follow and I had no trouble at all putting it together. I just need to pick more fabric for the next one.
Hi Melissa, thank you so much for your lovely review! I'm so thrilled to hear that your first 'confident beginner' pattern went smoothly and that the instructions were helpful. Enjoy choosing fabric for your next one - can't wait to see it! Happy sewing! Virginija x
I have some basic sewing skills but am quite new to making garments with patterns. The Indigo dress is the perfect beginner dress, it’s so versatile and the instructions are easy to follow. I’ve made two and will be making many more! It’s the pattern that got me hooked on TATB, thank you!
Hi Jenny, thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so happy to hear that the Indigo dress was a great introduction to garment sewing for you, and that the instructions were clear and easy to follow. It’s wonderful that you're already planning more makes – welcome to the TATB sewing party! 😊 Happy sewing! Virginija x
