                  This is a addictive pattern!

                  I fell in love with this design. It took me a while to get into it, as I don't do sewing very often. However, once I finally got it, I must admit it was easy to follow , the instructions are so well written and the design it's just lovely. I'm ready to make my second Pearl Cardigan!

                  Yay! Thank you for your lovely message and have fun making all the Pearls. Team Buttons x

                  Another gold star!

                  Tilly’s patterns always fit together beautifully; finished garment measurements are as stated; instructions are clear. Pearl cardigan has not failed to impress. Really happy with the finished garment. Made the one with balloon sleeves- now planning a short sleeved version.

                  Thank you Lynn for your kind words we are super pleased you've enjoyed making the Pearl cardigan pattern and have plans for more. Team Buttons x

                  Great pattern!

                  Really loved the pattern, as all the patterns by them :) always love the clear instructions! The only thing I might tweak a bit is the strap, it doesn’t stay in place on the back. Thank you!

                  Thank you for sharing. Team Buttons x

                  Love this pattern!!!

                  Great pattern. Made a snazzy going-out-for-dinner top. I even managed to squeeze it out of 1 meter of fabric (although would have been less sweat if had more!) Can’t wait to make more in different fabrics.

                  A Pearl Cardigan for all occasions. This is stunning thank you SEW much for sharing your Pearl make and kind words. Team Buttons x

                  Happy with Pearl

                  Sizing was good, though quite generous, and was easy to make, though I did put my ties upside down so that the seam was facing up when I would have preferred it to be facing down. Don't think there was anything in the instructions talking about that specifically?

                  Thank you for taking time to write this review, it's lovely to read you're happy with your Pearl cardigan make. You're right there is nothing specific written in the instructions as to which way the seam on the waist tie should lie so I'll take this feedback to the Production team and see if it's something we can add.

                  do you need some help with your sewing project?

                  we've got you!
