Tilly and the Buttons: Make It Simple: Easy, Speedy Sewing Projects to Stitch Up in an Afternoon

Amazing book and it has a real size pattern with it. Suitable for beginner.

The patterns are layered so it is tricky to trace but otherwise it's a great deal! Not as thorough instructions as individual Tilly patterns but still very good. The Tabitha tee is so well drafted and the safiya trousers are simple and have a great fit. I wouldn't say this would be for a complete beginner to sewing. Personally I think it would be overwhelming but if you know someone who sews that could help a bit that would work!

Bien reçu aucune charge comme il a venu d’Angleterre . Produit très bien mais j’ai déjà les autres patrons/livres de Tilly and the buttons . Livre en anglais bon pour moi comme je suis anglaise .

Let me start by saying that I am a Tilly fan and have her previous books. I find that a lot of the negative reviews tend to be from those who don't necessarily know her work/books. Tilly's books are delightful to all but her message has always been about bringing sewing to beginners. This book, in particular, is focused on simpler, more speedy projects that can be whipped up in an afternoon (or a couple of days, depending on how much time you have). Like her other books, there are all these nifty little details that can be used to personalize and upgrade each project. If you are more experienced and want to skip the explanation of the techniques, there is a nice little checklist for each project. When it comes to the style, I always recommend looking at the designer's instagram or website to get a feel of what their style is. Sometimes it is just not for me, so I do some browsing first (Instagram is great to look at what the patterns look like on other people) and then decide if I want to invest the money on that particular pattern/book. I am super pleased with this purchase and definitely can't wait to keep sewing with Tilly!

I bought this book to give me some help to dip my toe in the world of sewing. My second garment attempt was the Safiya trousers ( only made a super simple skirt before) they were a success and the tips to change the length etc were really useful being a short lady! I was hooked having had the book less than a week I’ve also made the Suki dress, I got a little bit scissor happy and cut my pattern too small- inspired by all the garment hacks I decided that I was capable of making some adjustments myself and created a beautiful colour block sleeve Suki top! The Juno sleep mask is also so very cute and I’m about to make a few as gifts for my family! Thanks Tilly- a really great book with simple instruction and personalisation ideas to make every garment your own. Definitely worth purchasing for a complete beginner. Really takes all the difficult jargon and makes it understandable.

Adorei o livro. Ele está em inglês mas as instruções são claras e com várias fotos. Além disso os modelos são simples e bonitos, prefeito para iniciantes na costura. O livro também já vem com os moldes, cada um em um lado da folha, o que é muito interessante já que é fácil de copiá-los e seguir com a costura.
