Cleo

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

Firm favourite

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.

Easy, lovely, fun

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!

My first make!

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.

Really professional looking garment

I love this pattern! So easy to follow, great photos with the instructions, and it looks really professional at the end!
