                  Gorgeous Pinafore Pattern

                  Absolutely beautiful pattern by Tilly & Team Buttons. The perfect pinafore for autumn winter, the dress comes together really nicely with the steps well explained (as with all Tilly & the Buttons patterns). This would be a great pattern if it’s your first time sewing princess seams in my opinion. The bodice facing gives a crisp & clean finish on the inside and the D rings & zip are lovely details too. 100% recommend this pattern & I will be making it again x

                  Thank you so much, Beth! And what gorgeous pictures (it looks so great with that collar!). We’re absolutely delighted to hear how much you enjoyed sewing Noa. We can’t wait to see your next version and hope it brings you just as much joy to make! Happy sewing and thank you for your lovely recommendation. Abi x

                  Lovely and versatile

                  I loved sewing the Noa, instructions are clear as always and the inside is finished nicely. The zip came in easily and the buckle makes it so adjustable. I already styled it for autumn, but I feel like I will get a lot of wear all year round.

                  So glad you loved making Noa, Sandra! It sounds like you’ll get alot of wear out of it - so many styling possibilities! Happy sewing, Abi x
