And of course it’s got pockets! A true wardrobe workhorse, Luella can be dressed up or down and styled for multiple seasons. Trust us, you’ll want to make more than one...

Instructions guide you through joining tiers with either a classic gathered seam or a decorative exposed frill seam

Simple clear instructions

Had great plans of starting this project but life took over looking after a poorly relative . But I've lots of fabric to try on this so will forward picture when I eventually get time to myself . Excited for this one .

Hi Lorraine, I’m sorry to hear your family member has been poorly - I hope they’re feeling better soon. I also hope you get a chance to make up the pattern sooner rather than later! Enjoy, and happy sewing, Virginija x

Favourite make yet!

I’m absolutely in love with this pattern! As a relatively novice I found it just challenging enough, with the opportunity to learn a few new skills along the way. Everything was really well explained and the links to the extra tutorials were incredibly helpful.
I’ve already made a second Luella, and have downloaded several more of your patterns too. Thank you! x

Hi Kate, wow - I’m so happy to read your review! It’s so lovely to hear how much you enjoyed making the pattern and using all the available resources, and even more exciting to hear you’re planning to start some other designs soon too, yay! Enjoy wearing your beautiful Luella shirt - it’s gorgeous! Virginija x

Nice skirt!

Very good pattern, easy to sew and I have a nice skirt that fits well!

Hi Diane, thanks so much for your lovely feedback! I’m so glad you love your new skirt - enjoy wearing it. Happy sewing! Virginija x

Super satisfying!

Great project for a sewing newbie like me. The photos really helped me to understand the instructions. However, it took me a while to figure out how to topstitch the waistband while at the same time stretching the elastic. That was the only real obstacle - other than that, Luella was an absolut pleasure to sew! I'm now toying with the idea of making another one :)

So pleased you enjoyed sewing Luella! That waistband step can be a little fiddly at first, but it sounds like you cracked it in the end. Can’t wait to see your next version! Happy sewing :) Abi x
