Sewing patterns

[EATmum]

So I'm making my second garment/pattern from Tilly and the Buttons. I really like the pattern quality (not tissue paper but sturdy) and the clear instructions. I've only been sewing, when I can, for about a year so clear instructions help! What other patterns/makes would I like do you think? Advice much appreciated!

All of the pattern makers have an easy section. I have been sewing for a long time but still look for simple patterns because I sew for relaxation and my wardrobe is fairly simple.

My current favourite dress for me is this

Skirt patterns

They are all easy. I am just about to finish another of the dresses, I will try to take a photo - four hours including hand finishing and overlocking everything.

Very easy Vogue, Colette Pattern and Gather Kits are all brilliant. Well explained and Colette & Gather have on line help.

If you want to sew for your DC, Oliver+s patterns are lovely and have excellent instructions. You can learn a lot if technique from them.

Thank you! I've been looking at some Collette patterns - maybe I'll try one of those next. Thanks for all the thoughts.

Definitely Colette. Also try By Hand London, Megan Neilsen & Deer & Doe.

It's nice to support the independent labels - they're more expensive but I've liked the patterns I've had so far. Will look out for some of these brands - thanks!

Hot patterns is a new find. Short on instructions but do have videos on line.
