Fun sweatpants

I've been needing new sweatpants for a while and wanted to try sewing them. It was my first time using this material. I didn't include the drawstring because I wasn't able to sew the buttonhole in my fabric. In terms of instructions, I prefer the Jaimie shorts video instruction, but I will definitely make these again (hopefully with a drawstring next time). The final result is so fun!

Hi Astrid, thank you so much for your review + for sharing your pictures! We love hearing about your first foray into sewing sweatpants and how fun the final result turned out! For your next pair, don't miss the extra sewing help on our blog, lots with with video tutorials (including how to sew knit buttonholes). Fingers crossed for a drawstring version next time! Happy sewing! Abi x

Shorts

Made the shorts out of this pattern, I did lengthen them a bit. But I'm so happy with the pattern and instructions, I think this is the 2nd pattern from Tilly and the buttons i have used and im very impressed. I struggle to follow written instructions, but these instructions are easy to follow and the added colour pictures are great. This brand is definitely my favourite.

Hi Sheree, thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed making the shorts and found the instructions and pictures helpful - that’s exactly what we love to hear! :) Happy sewing and enjoy wearing your new shorts! Virginija x

Easy to follow

As a novice sewer I never thought I would make my own clothes. However, having discovered Tilly's patterns, there's no stopping me. I made the CeCe shorts and the pattern was easy to follow. Had to make some adjustments to fit and the additional instructions for grading sizes and other fitting adjustments really helped. Love wearing these shorts - they are so comfy.

Hi Carol, thank you so much for your review! :) I’m so happy to hear that Tilly’s patterns have inspired you to make your own clothes - yay! It’s great that the fitting instructions helped with your adjustments - they look so comfy! Happy sewing! Virginija x

Great pattern! Clear instructions.

As always, super fun to make. Tilly patterns rock.

Super close to 5 stars, but I found the fit to be quite big even in the smallest size, which matched my measurements. If I was to make them again, I’d make them smaller!

Hi Emma, thanks for the review! I'm so glad you had fun making the pattern. The joggers are designed to have a relaxed fit, as they pair with the Drew sweatshirt pattern for that cozy, laid-back vibe. If you'd like a more fitted look, sizing down could be a great option! :) Happy sewing! Virginija x
