Clear instructions for an interesting sew and a nice bag
Clear instructions for an interesting sew and a nice bag. I'd made a few bags before so the hardware aspect wasn't super challenging, but colourblocking and playing with the curved seams made this an interesting little challenge. Would be doable for adventurous beginners as a first bag, just go slow and enjoy the process
Thank you for the lovely review! I am so pleased you enjoyed working with the pattern. It is such a fun sew. Enjoy your new Darlow bag!
Full marks for a lovely design that will look great in many different fabrics. The Elwood dress stood out for its unique and intriguing construction that will suit most figures. Whether you are looking for a pattern for a structural fabric that displays the form of the dress or for a soft and drapey fabric that swishes gently as you walk, this may be the solution. I love it!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm thrilled to hear you loved working with the Elwood dress pattern. It is such a fun sew but also very nice to wear!
I loved this so much that I also bought two other instruction booklets. I had them all printed and bound together to create one of the best reference tools in my collection!
Very happy customer!!
Hi Tanya, Wow! What a review! I'm thrilled to hear you love the booklets and have created such a fantastic reference tool! Thank you for sharing your happiness with us.
My measurements put me at size E but my big belly and flank weight are bigger than my hip measurement so I used size F and made the front pleats deeper and the fold over piece longer so my belly doesn’t show when I sit. I made my first pair in 2023 as part of the Foldies and the crotch is low. I recently made the inseams 1 cm smaller and this pair is more comfortable. The photo of the gray pairs have the crotches raised using Emily’s great tutorial. This is an easy change. The denim is a skirt, made by following Emily’s tutorial. I think denim is a little too heavy. The Malvern is beautiful in poplin and worth making. The instructions are very clear and this is a quick pattern.
