Sawtell dress

Miranda Gomperts

Sewing this dress has been great adventure!

Sewing this dress has been great adventure! I wanted to use a piece of fabric I bought years ago and I just managed to squeeze enough out of it to make the Sawtell dress with straight sleeves. The instructions were excellent. I had several goes to get the fit just right - I took out the front darts, extended the shoulder significantly by adding to the back yoke. I also pinched out the back sleeve seam on the back yoke to remove some gaping. The finished dress still has a bit of tightness across the back (may be altering the back sleeve seam on the yoke had something to do with this?) so Ive unpicked the back pleat. If I make the dress again I will work out how to widen the back so I can keep the full pleat which is such a nice feature of this dress! I'll be wearing it to a wedding later this month. I am currently trying to find a pair of shoes to go with it! I should mention that I made some major cock ups with the pockets! I had to unpick THREE times. On the first two times I knew I was rushing and I was really tired. Always a mistake! The third time, however, everything was going so well until I noticed I had put the pocket piece in upside down! ugh!

Copy your clothes Bundle

Larissa Deck

It’s the little details…

I started sewing decades ago, and when my son wanted to take a copy of a pair of much beloved trousers, I bought this bundle so I could better guide him through the process. I learned so many valuable techniques myself, and he now has a lovely pair of handmade pants as his first project. We’re now embarking on a mum and son skills-building journey.

Sewing Jeans Skills Kit + Burwood tool roll

Alison Aitken

Lots of learnìng and practice

Lots of new skills to tackle: Flat felled seams, top stitching, front fly construction, jeans button insertion, sewing Velcro. I feel much more confident to make a pair of jeans now and that is the purpose. I took a little time to be able to translate the diagrams of jeans to the process of making the tool roll.

I enjoy learning sewing skills and this project is just the ticket

I enjoy learning sewing skills and this project is just the ticket for that? Very enjoyable and easy to follow instructions. Plus a great tool roll. I don’t wear trousers so jeans aren’t in my future but l recommend this project.

Love the design but disappointed it doesn’t come in a paper patterns

Love the design but didn’t realize it was a downloadable pattern before I bought it. I much prefer paper patterns. I’m disappointed I’ve paid for a pattern I’ll never be able to use

We're sorry the digital format wasn't the right fit for you. All of our patterns are downloadable PDFs, which we do our best to make clear on the product page, but we completely understand that paper patterns are the preference for many sewists. There are many online print shops that may be able to help you print the pattern for you.
