                  Love love love!

                  Fab design, great fit with minor adjustments needed, and the instructions are sooooo good! I learnt a lot from making these - thank you! :)

                  I loved making the Thea trousers and have since made a second pair with plans for a third!!! I graded the waist in to fit my sway back but apart from that the fit was perfect. The only thing I changed in my second pair was to narrow the width of the waistband as I found it a bit too deep for me. As always the instructions were so clear and easy to follow including the fly zip which can be a bit of a challenge!!!
                  Thanks Tilly and Team Buttons for another great pattern 👍

                  Straightforward to follow

                  The patterns are really easy to cut out and I love the booklet that comes with it. It makes it so straightforward to follow and gives you confidence. The new QR codes are also great to add extra knowledge. Overall my 'go to' pattern source. I loved making 'Marnie' and now I'm just starting 'Thea' to go with them!

                  Best ever trouser pattern!

                  I have avoided making trousers as I have found getting a good fit impossible in the past. But Thea fits perfectly! Also great instructions as always with TATB.

                  Fantastic trousers pattern

                  I really enjoyed making these - as usual Tilly's instructions make difficult techniques so much simpler. I've made a zip fly a couple of times before but these instructions were far easier to follow.
                  I made the size that matched my measurements and they fit well with minimal adjustments, however I'll size up next time as I personally prefer a bit more room in the body (used to looser fits these days)

                  do you need some help with your sewing project?
