Includes six full-scale printed sewing patterns in sizes UK 6-24 with multiple variations*

Make It Simple is full of quick and easy sewing projects to help you get your creative fix, no matter how busy you are.

In this book, award-winning sewing author, pattern designer and working mum, Tilly Walnes of Tilly and the Buttons, shares her sewing shortcuts and time-saving tactics for squeezing sewing into even the smallest window of time.

The 24 simple, modern dressmaking projects can be whipped up in a few hours - whether that's a few short sittings after work, or a stolen afternoon away from the kids. The full-scale dressmaking patterns include ten sizes (UK 6-24/US 2-20) and range from a classic t-shirt and snuggly cardigan to a cute pinafore and stylish playsuit.

If you're a beginner, you'll find easy-peasy projects and fuss-free techniques to kickstart your sewing journey. If you're an experienced stitcher, you'll enjoy the satisfyingly quick wardrobe-building patterns and tips for speeding up your sewing.

Can't wait to see what you make!

Amazing!

This book is amazing! To be honest and say I was a bit hesitant getting the book to begin with, although no idea why. Sometimes with books you may only like 1 or 2 patterns but this is not the case with this book. I’m so glad I got it. Made numerous patterns (my fav being Bertha) and they’re all so simple but beautiful makes. Options on how to switch a pattern up and extra support online if needed too. Love my current makes and can’t wait to make more from the book!

Hi! Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear you’re enjoying the book and all the patterns. It’s great that Bertha is your favourite! We can’t wait to see what you make next. Happy sewing! Virginija x

Fabulous

This and the Stretch book are my very favourite sewing books. I’m a beginner and the clear instructions, help with fitting, lovely patterns have made me excited to sew. Garments that look and feel great, thank you Tilly 🤩

Hi Julie, thanks so much for your review! I’m so glad to hear that both Make It Simple and the Stretch! book are boosting your sewing skills and that you're enjoying the process as a beginner. We all know how tricky sewing instructions can be, so I'm thrilled that ours are helping you and making you want to sew even more. Happy sewing! Virginija x

Brilliant!

I love these books and patterns. They're easy to follow and everything is explained clearly. I've got two of the books now and I'm working my way through the patterns.
