GET INSPIRED #SewingFrida
This was so easy to make when following the video workshop lessons. I have struggled with sewing collars before and never sewn cuffs with packets. I am so happy with the neat finish and how straight forward the process was. I shortened the sleeves but still added cuffs with a placket and love the result.
I'm a 'confident beginner' and this was my first shirt. It was so straight forward to follow the instructions and I'm so pleased with the outcome. I chose to do a 3/4 sleeve with no cuffs as it's for the summer, but will make loads of these shirts I'm sure!
Hi there, thank you so much for your lovely review! It’s so great to hear that the improver level didn’t intimidate you - and now you know how to make shirts, yay! Your Frida is absolutely stunning, and I love the way you’ve played with the stripes. Enjoy wearing it! Virginija x
Frida shirt involved a number of processes which are new to me. I bought pattern & tutorial & inexpensive print . I am very pleased with result having taken it slowly . Tilly’s patterns are always easy to follow in my experience. I have already bought a more expensive linen / cotton mix for the short sleeved boxy version. Watch this space..
Hi Jenny, thanks for sharing your experience with the Frida shirt - it’s so lovely to hear that you’ve learned loads by making it up, yay! Oooh, I’m really looking forward to seeing your boxy shirt. Enjoy making it! Happy sewing! Virginija x
As with all of Tilly's patterns I use, I found making this shirt a joy and easy to follow. Highly recommend.
Hi Debbie, thanks so much for your lovely review! I’m so glad you found shirt making a joy and the instructions easy to follow. I love your pom-pom trimming detail and the different coloured snaps - that’s such a lovely shirt! Enjoy wearing it. Happy sewing! Virginija x
The video tutorial is so worth it for tje collar. The shirt came out so lovely in linen. Totally doable if you’ve sewn up a couple of things before.
Hi Maya, thanks so much for your amazing review! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed making the shirt and that the online workshop was helpful, yay! Now that you’ve mastered collar making, there’s no going back! Happy sewing! Virginija x
