GET INSPIRED #SewingStevie
I took a sewing class where they had us work with a pattern and I came away frustrated because the style was all wrong and the dress didn't fit. I found the Stevie pattern and what a game changer! I can sew a dress! The instructions are easy to follow, the blog posts and extras online make it even easier to plan my Stevie. I am thrilled with the results and already have made 4 Stevies, one with the add-on pattern. Thank you! I am buying more patterns so I can create a whole new wardrobe. Thank you!!
Hi Sam,
Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m so happy to hear that the Stevie pattern was a game changer for you – four Stevies already, that’s amazing! I’m so glad the instructions and our blog made it easier, and it’s amazing that you’re now ready to create a whole new wardrobe. Can’t wait to see what you make next!
Happy sewing!

Really easy top and dress to make even if you are a sewing newbie. Steps are extremely easy to follow with full colour pictures, and I found the guide on how to lay out your tempates on the fabric extremely helpful.
Unfortuantely after my first attempt I ran into a snag - the top was pulling weirdly across the chest. Thankfully I emailed the team to ask for help and Frances was increbily helpful and patient in working out that I needed to do a full bust adjustment. As someone who is a complete beginner, this sounded extremely daunting and too advanced for me to do. Thankfully there are clear and easy to follow instructions on how to do this for the Stevie pattern, and one adjustment later, I had a top that fitted. I'm incredibly grateful that despite being such a small and busy team, support like this is available.
Hi Charlotte,
Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m really happy to hear you found the pattern easy to follow, and it’s great that the layout guide was helpful too. So glad Frances could help you figure out the full bust adjustment - it can definitely feel a bit daunting at first, especially as a beginner, but you absolutely nailed it! We’re always here if you need a hand!
Happy sewing!

I have wanted to make clothing for many years, but I always thought it would be too hard. I finally decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did! This pattern is easy to follow and comes with fab instructions. I'm going to make a lot of Stevie tunics in many colours!
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Natalie! I’m so happy to hear that you took the leap into making your own clothes and found the Stevie pattern easy to follow - yay! I can't wait to see your next make! Happy sewing! Virginija x
This was my first sew without a video tutorial to follow and it turned out perfect ! Really easy instructions to follow and I already have plans to make more of this top in the different variations and the dress version. I love this pattern.
Hi Rhian, thanks for the review! I'm so glad your first sew without a video tutorial turned out perfect! It’s great to hear you’re excited to make more in different variations. Happy sewing! Virginija x
I have at least 6 Stevie’s in my wardrobe and wear one at least weekly. I’ve made it as is and also made simple alterations. Such a good basic pattern and the workhorse of my work wardrobe!
