GET INSPIRED #SewingWinnie
I have to first confess that I haven't yet made up my Tilly trousers, but I am delighted with the pattern and the flexibility it offers to make a good fit to a person with the normal 'character' features that come with age (!). I will be making the trousers up in a waterproof fabric with a mesh lining for my autumn dog walks - this is my urgent make, as I am so fed up with not being able to find outdoorwear that has a comfirtable cut. However, I like the pattern so much, I am also scouting other fabrics for some winterwear. I'll give an update when the wet weather gear is completed.....
The pattern was easy to use but had to be adjusted a fair bit as I am only 5ft 2in. I have made 2 pairs of trousers.
Such a great fit for my fluctuating body, with the flat front and elasticated back. Very clear and detailed instructions. I’ve been searching for a pattern like this for some time, so glad I found it!
Hi Stine, thanks so much for your lovely review! It’s so great to hear you’ve found your go-to trouser sewing pattern, yay! That elasticated waistband really does make them so comfortable, doesn’t it? I hope you enjoy wearing them and make many more pairs. :) Happy sewing, Virginija x
Quality of TATB is always great, love the thicker paper which make tracing a doddle and instructions are always very details.
Another winner of a pattern from T&TB
My first foray into trousers (as a confident beginner). The pattern gives really clear and detailed instructions.
I was unsure whether to add the front pockets as I thought that might be too much too handle - not at all, its so well explained I found it an absolutely great step by step process.
I didn't pay attention to the suggested fabrics- I wish I had, I will be making another pair in one if the suggested fabrics very soon.
Brilliant pattern - love it.
Hi Sandra, wow - these Winnies are incredible!!! It’s so great to hear you didn’t hesitate and went for the more advanced option. I’m really looking forward to seeing your future versions, and I hope you enjoy wearing these in the meantime - they are stunning! Happy sewing, Virginija x
