GET INSPIRED #SewingCleo
I bought this at the same time as Stevie before Christmas, but thought it might be hard. The instructions are so comprehensive and easy to follow, especially as there are photos too, or videos if you need. On top of that you can have a wee look on instagram to get inspiration. I loved how people had put patterned inserts inside the dress. An added bonus is when making a completely different top, I could use skills I’d learnt when making this. Also I wear it at least once a week.
Hi Michelle, thanks so much for your review! I'm so happy to hear you found the instructions easy to follow and that you’re getting so much wear out of your make! Happy sewing! Virginija x
Im giving this a great review, however I'm starting to wish I hadnt bought it!
I made a Cloe pinafore for my daughter. She loved it, yay.
So, she asked for another. I obliged and she loved it.
So, she asked for another - I obliged and she loved it.
See what I mean here? Its too bloomin good hehehe
I like this so much I have made it three times. Two times with 8 wale courdroy and once with a lovely canvas print. All three versions turned out great. I used dungaree buckles and added pockets to front and back. I made the knee length version but this last one I added a few inches. Had super fun making this and am really pleased with results.
I'll repeat the review I wrote for another Tilly and the Buttons pattern: her patterns are the best. They are easy to follow, yet lovely and fun to sew. Tilly's videos are extremely clear and straightforward. Honestly, this brand is my favorite!
This was the furst thing I made to wear when I took up dressmaking after many years of not sewing and I love it! So much so that I immediately made another one 🤣 Brilliant instructions - perfect if you need a bit of reassurance or are new to sewing.
