Love, love, love

I absolutely love this pattern especially with the video tutorial.
It’s my first time making swimwear and I’ve successfully made a swimsuit and bikini top.
I can’t wait to make more.

Hi Helen, thanks so much for your review! I'm so happy the pattern and video tutorial worked well for you. Congrats on making your first swimsuit and bikini top – can’t wait to see what you make next! Happy sewing! Virginija x

Love it!

I got the workshop plus the printed pattern. I haven’t started sewing yet, I’ve just done the introduction section, but I already learned a lot on fabric choices. Which is always the hardest for me! Can’t wait to get to the sewing machine!

New machine new pattern!!

I loved this workshop.
I haven’t used the online workshops before but would definitely recommend. I love the Tilly patterns and the ease of being able to revisit modules was fantastic.
I battled with a new machine with this pattern but I’ve learnt a lot. My first swimsuit was unpicked on several occasions (mainly due to tension on my machine) so I would definitely recommend a trial with another fabric first.
I will be doing more 😊

Thank you for sharing Karen, the joy of sewing is growing and learning and improving with each garment. So pleased you enjoyed the workshop, hopefully you might try some of the others. Team Buttons x

Ready to make
