Love at First Stitch - Demystifying Dressmaking

Wabted to learn to sew after recently acquiring a sewing machine but was so put off by complicated patterns. This book was really helpful and clear and informative and great value with the patterns... i have all 3 of tillys books now and have managed the Safiya trousers :) and just completed my first ever skirt (granted ive made a fair few mostakes with this one) but learned a lot. Thankyou!! Toying now with taking advantage of the sale and purchasing some beginner patterns x

So clear and informative. Makes the daunting seem possible. I'm working my way through but the first pair of pj bottoms turned out brilliantly. I was so proud of myself- thank you!

I returned to sewing during the lockdown and recently bought Love at First Stitch. I have learned so much from this book. The instructions are clear and easy to follow and Tilly's chatty writing style is enjoyable. I made the Margot pyjama bottoms in one morning and am thrilled with them.

As well as offering the sewing patterns, Tilly has suggestions for ways to vary the look or cut of the clothes and shows how these can be done. If you are interested in making some clothes for yourself that you would be proud to wear this book is a great plan to start.

The cover price isn't cheap but when you consider that you get 7 good patterns and a whole raft of useful skills it seems good value.
