Oops, here are the photos. Also forgot to mention the vintage buttons from The Swagman’s Daughter. I think these are from the 1930s.

Anniehen · 23 hours ago Plus Member

This is my third Matchy Matchy Playdate Blouse. This one is hacked a bit. I left off the collar, shortened the back a little and widened the sleeve cuffs. Like the previous version, I also went down one size generally and two sizes on the back...

The Madrone pants! I loved the look of the examples and the oversized look, but when I made some, they just looked like clown trousers and I hated them!

My longstanding favourite is Guthri Ghani for a wide range of beautiful fabrics. It remains my favourite because there is virtually always a video showing the fabric being handled. A close second is Beyond the Pink Door. Very beautiful stocking. ...

I have jumped on the bandwagon twice when I knew in my heart that the patterns weren’t really my thing. The first was the Ogden Tank, now sold. The second, the Saltwater Slip Dress. I still own it, but it stairs at me unmade 🙄 I have the Tessuti...

I like several of MM patterns too - including the Kite Pants. My favourite is the Playdate Blouse. I’m just finishing my third. This last one is made without the collar for a more paired down, but still fancy, look 🙂

I hopped on the Matchy Matchy Sewing Club Kite Pants bandwagon. Honestly the Matchy Matchy Sewing Club as a whole is perfect. Their patterns are well thought out, aimed at the beginner sewist. I consider myself intermediate, but I don’t choose...

I find it so interesting that some patterns go viral... sometimes for reasons I don't always understand. What I'd love to know is have you hopped on the bandwagon for a particular pattern and was it worth the hype?

Falconer Pants And Apron Belly

SewHayleyJane · 3 days ago Admin

Hello, yes I did make them, and did a video on them here They are very comfortable on my belly, but I do prefer wearing them with a top untucked because I do feel that the denim hugs the apron a bit. Best thing to do is toile! especially with...

Hello Sylvia, I bought this pattern awhile back. I'm not much help as I haven't made them yet! Distracted by grandchildren's holidays, necessary sewing (knickers, apron etc.) and all the autumn preserving! I can't understand if you have already...

Hi there! I would love to make the Falconer pants by Helens closet but I'm worried about my big apron belly 😩 Has anyone made them and has suggestions on how to handle the belly/crotch? Should I use my half back measurements x 2 to find my overall...

What Should Designers Check Before Sending A Pattern Into Production?

Heatherens18 · 3 days ago

I'm not a designer but have been a pattern tester for a few pattern designers. From my experience, ensure that you test on multiple body types and sizes. Also, it's important to listen to those who you have test for you. I've had almost all...

Thank you. That’s very kind. My others are from the same pattern, but I paired the ‘balloon’ aspect down! You can see them as part of a black and white coord in an earlier post. I actually don’t like WBM patterns. I have made several and aside from...
