I made 10 pairs of the Tilly and the buttons iris pants and they are great. I made a toile first as I thought I wanted the low rise ones but ended up making the rest high leg. I used all my scrap jersey and even did a pair with a lace insert. Such an easy pattern to make as well. I pieced the pattern for the front and back so I could use different fabrics as it used more scraps of fabric.
Received this new pattern just this morning, had a Quick Look thru my stash and found a double gauze from a past sew hayleyjane box!(white background blue delicate flowers). Got it all cut out and ready to sew! Looks a simple make so we ll see
Hi Daisy! I'm also very new to printing patterns having only bought the full pattern in the past! I was unsure how to go about this and had resorted to sellotaping numerous sheets of A4 together at home. However, all my questions were answered and fears put aside when I was able to speak with the lovely people at CLC Prints when I visited The Stitch Festival at the Business Design Centre (my first time and it was amazing!!). I placed my order and also emailed them attaching the pattern just in case I had ordered incorrectly (which is what they had suggested as a back-up). The order was correct and my new patterns arrived a few days later. I had chosen the £2 per sheet of A0 option as opposed to the slightly cheaper tissue paper option, like the traditional old style pattern. I will definitely be using CLC patterns again!Â
I recently treated myself to a Bernina 570 QE which is absolutely heavenly to sew with. So smooth and it as though they have thought of all the potential problems users might encounter and resolved them before they occur. I particularly like the "jumbo" thread bobbins and the integrated walking foot - ingenious!
I'm thinking of buying the Bernina 570QE but wonder what you get for the extra cost. I have a Bernetta B38 and it has auto cut, easy threader and fairly moveable foot for thick materials. Probably not the best for that job though. It also has a needle I can adjust to either side by small increments.
