    Fun and easy to make

    I’m new to sewing but I’m really impressed with how this turned out. The top is flattering and wearable, I’d be quite happy to leave the house in it. I am planning to make another.

    Hi Helen, thanks so much for your review! It’s wonderful to hear that you’re proud of your new me made top and confident enough to wear it out - that’s such a win, especially when you’re just starting out! Have fun wearing it, and I hope you enjoy making your next one soon. Happy stitching! Virginija x

    Stevie top and dress

    I’ve made the Stevie top and really enjoyed the process! So much that I’ve ordered the add on pack to make a version with long sleeves! Great pattern!

    Hi Lynne, thank you so much for giving us 5 stars! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed making your own Stevie and that it inspired you to purchase the add-on piece for a different version - yay! I hope you create many more Stevies! :) Virginija x

    Lovely dress

    I recently started sewing and made a Stevie dress from a lightweight dotted chambray found at a local store. I don't own a machine, but the dress was easy to stitch up by hand and I love wearing it!

    Hi Maria, thank you for your lovely review! Wow, it's so impressive that you hand-sewed your Stevie dress - well done! I’m so happy to hear that you love wearing it too.Happy sewing! Virginija x

    Quick and satisfying

    Made the top version. Some parts I found unnecessarily fiddly. Eg: why bother under stitching the facing when you then top stitch it and just make longer sleeves with turn back cuffs. I also left off the pocket because I thought it would pull the top out of shape. I used the hairband (genius!) instead of the ties. I loved the top stitching around the neck and although I originally thought the back bodice was again unnecessarily complex I really liked it in the end. I found there to be a lot of fabric wastage though especially after missing bits out and making the top not a dress. So when I made it for the second time out of a tablecloth from India I tweaked the layout and now I’m really pleased with the result.

    Hi Zoe, thanks so much for your review! The understitching is included to help keep the neckline crisp and the facing secure, while the topstitching is more of a design feature that adds a lovely detail to the pattern. Plus, it’s a great new skill for beginners to learn, as we try to teach different techniques in each pattern. Regarding the cuffs, we wanted to avoid showing the inside of the fabric once turned, so that’s why they’re designed this way. As for the back bodice, it was intended to add a bit of character to the top without making it too plain - I’m glad you ended up enjoying the design! :) Hope you make many more Stevies in the future! Happy stitching! Virginija x
