  • Hello everyone and welcome back to my channel. Today I’m bringing you a round up of all my makes from Tilly and the buttons new book ‘Make it simple’
    All the pattern companies and fabric shops I talk about in this video I’ll link below. There are a couple of people I mention too so I’ll put their Instagram details below too.
    I was able to sew my way through the ‘Make it simple book’ during February half term and I’ve made a few more things since.
    I’ve put a link to Tilly’s book here:
    shop.tillyandthebuttons.com/p...
    And there’s a blog all about the book here:
    shop.tillyandthebuttons.com/p...
    I’m wearing a Nina Lee Southbank sweater and here is a link to the pattern:

    Sister Mintaka sistermintaka.com/product-cat...
    I used fabric from a Sew Hayley Jane sewing subscription box sewhayleyjane.com/
    I used fabric from www.materialgirllaura.co.uk
    I used scrap fabric from some liberty rocket fabric I bought ages ago www.libertylondon.com/uk/rock...

    Liz, your amazing - cannot believe how many things you made from the book. In respect of the material you thought was “too busy” for you, it looks fine. Great to get an insight into the book, thank you for doing that.

    Many thanks for this review as I was thinking of getting the book but I was not sure if I would make many of the patterns when I saw it on Amazon. But your makes from it are very inspiring and I think I will get it now. I have her other books but there will be enough for me to make from this one to justify adding it to my library! Happy sewing.

    Thanks for the vlog. How much fabric does the Tabitha dress take? Would 2 metres be enough for short sleeve. (Uk 12]

    • @Thebakerthatsews
      @Thebakerthatsews  Před 3 lety +1

      Thank you for watching. Yes 2 metres would be enough fit the short sleeved dress. The top part takes roughly 1 metre and the for the skirt you make it as long of short as you want. I’ve made quite a few of mine from 2 metres xx

    I am having trouble figuring out how to trace the patterns from the book. No matter what I do I have a mental block. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

  • @charliedarby2095
    @charliedarby2095 Před 4 lety +1

    Hi I'm very much a beginner , which pattern would you recommend I start with from the book? Or any to leave until last?

    • @Thebakerthatsews
      @Thebakerthatsews  Před 4 lety +1

      Charlie Darby I would leave the Olive dress until last. Beginner friendly patterns are the Tabitha t-shirt and Safiya trousers. The dungarees I know some people have had to work on the dot - this will depend on how different your waist and hip measurements are. The suki dress is easy to fit and sew up too. The pyjamas are also a good beginner pattern if you feel confident with jersey - great instructions xx

    • @charliedarby2095
      @charliedarby2095 Před 4 lety

      Thankyou so much for your reply I'll start with the tabitha tshirt and safiya trousers this weekend 🙂
