Yet another fab pattern

Loved this pattern. However, the buckles didn't fit (probably my fault making the straps a little too wide!!)
Made it up in a lovely stretch light blue denim, so looking forward to wearing it in the spring & summer

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a message Ann. If it helps we sell two sizes of buckles on our online shop. 30mm for Cleo sizes 4-6 and 40mm for Cleo sizes 7-15. Team Buttons x

Love it!

This was my first TATB make and I was really impressed. The sizing was accurate and the instructions really clear and easy to follow. I would definitely make this pattern again.

Yay thank you Bridgette and for sharing your make. Team Buttons x

Fun to make

I decided to make this for my daughter in size 0/4. Fun to make and not too hard as I’m a beginner however once completed I realised that I should have shortened it when cutting the pattern as my daughter is only 5ft tall. Easy corrected. Made in black needle cord.

Really hope your daughter loves making her Cleo. Thank you for sharing. Team Buttons x

Lovely All Season pattern

This pattern fits well but it is close fitting. Be prepared to size up if you like a looser fit. I goes together well and the instructions are crystal clear. I made it in a pale blue stretch denim for summer but I'd like to make it in a heavier fabric like needlecord for winter. I think a bit of stretch in the fabric makes it more comfortable. Overall it's an excellent pattern and I highly recommend it.

Thank you Sarah, stretch denim is perfect for this pattern and that shade of blue looks amazing. Thank you for sharing. Team Buttons x
