Thank you for an inspiring vlog, I have T&B books and patterns but only made 2 tea shirts, so to see your beautiful makes has inspired me to be more adventurous, thank you 🙏 I’ll look forward to more vlogs from you .
Thank you very much for watching! I’m so glad you found the vlog inspiring 😊
So inspirational to see all those lovely dresses. I’ve just started sewing and up to now have made the Stevie and the Lotta dress. I found them both really enjoyable to sew. I’m definitely going to make a tie belt for the Stevie, what a great idea! Thank you.
Thank you very much for watching, I’m so glad you found the vlog inspiring and you like the Stevie tie belt idea, I really enjoy wearing my Stevie dresses cinched in like that. Happy sewing 😊
A sew-along tutorial with the Zadie showing how to get those pieces together would be great !!
Thank you, I will definitely bear that in mind the next time I reach for the Zadie pattern 😊
All lovely makes. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thank you very much 😊
Lovely makes as usual Cath. I agree about the facing on the Indigo. It really annoys me that it doesn’t stay flat.
Thank you very much. Yes in hindsight I wish I’d finished the necklines of my indigos with bias binding.
Watching this again as I cut out my favorite TATB patterns! Indigo and now Mabel! I need a palate cleanser and want to make a dress I know I will love and wear on repeat so I am making these today. I haven’t made the Freya but I did do a toile. I didn’t like it and the fabric was very cheap, from a thrift store. I may do the top of it and add a gathered skirt and see if I like it more. I am batch cutting ❤ because it is my least favorite part and I find it helps me sew more.
Thank you for watching again! I hope your batch cutting went well and you enjoy sewing your Indigo and Mabel! 😊❤️
Loved this video. Such pretty dresses!!! I need to try the Tabitha dress next summer!!
Thanks so much Rachael! The Tabitha is such an easy to wear dress, I really like it for summer days with children where you want something comfy and relaxed. Thanks for watching!
After making many pinafores and tops to wear under them, I thought I’d look for some easy-to-wear dress patterns to try, and was considering Tilly and the Buttons. You’ve sold me on the Indigo to try first (and I share your preference for bias binding vs facing wherever I can sub them), and most likely the others in time. Thank you for such informative vlogs; they’re really helpful. And it also gives me courage to keep working on my grading skills, to hear about your sewing journey, and how you’ve learned along the way. (I.e., not everything’s come out perfect the first try).🙃
I hope you enjoy trying the Indigo dress pattern! I’m so glad you find my vlogs informative, that’s really good to know 😊
@@madebycathcraft Loved it! I also have some French Terry I’ve been trying to decide what to do with, and I found their pattern so lovely I think I’m going to try the Billie in the dress version (I haven’t decided which sleeves yet). You’ve also given me the courage to try more patterned fabric than I used to, after seeing your projects sewn up. A black wide flannel with small white tulips and a blue leopard-style print wide flannel went on sale for an online Boxing Day sale today, sooo… I thought they’d be great for some more Indigo dresses!😁
Excellent! Happy sewing 😊❤️
Just subscribed, love your videos s, thanks for sharing your makes, they are all lovely x
Thank you very much 😊 x
Freya dresses are definitely my favourite go to winter autumn dresses! Love seeing your versions 😊
Thank you! 😊 the Freya dress is such a good pattern isn’t it, I can’t wait till it gets a bit colder so I can start wearing mine. Thanks for watching
I just subscribed! I just started watching your videos and love them! Hi from California!
Thank you very much! 😊
The tartan Indigo is my favorite! Nice collection!
Thank you very much! I really like the tartan indigo too 😊
I always love your pattern and fabric choices! Thanks for the inspiration. Tilly and the Buttons patterns are really nice to follow. I made the Arielle skirt and really liked it and I am planning to make an Indigo dress as my next Tilly make.
Thank you very much! Yes I really like Tilly and the Buttons pattern instructions! They really hold your hand. I haven’t made the Arielle skirt but I really like the look of it. Hope you enjoy sewing your Indigo 😊
I really enjoyed this video! It was fun and useful to see all your versions of so many patterns by one designer. You are doing so well with your channel! I love your makes!
Thanks so much Tammy. I am really enjoying making videos for my channel so it’s lovely to know you’re enjoying watching 😊
Perhaps because of the season I'm especially drawn to the cozy green plaid dress. Thanks for sharing some of your beautiful dresses!
Thank you for watching! I really like the green plaid one too 😊
Wow, they are all so pretty! Lots of inspiration, thank you 🙏 I am a massive fan of the Agnes top, but haven't ever made it into a dress... Maybe one day. I have the Lotta pattern and some fabric earmarked for it, so I shall look forward to making that in the Spring. I also plan to make a Freya top with the cowl neck, when time permits, so it was great to see yours, and reassuring that you said it was easy to attach the neck piece 👍 Thanks for sharing, Cath!
Thanks so much Mara 😊 I hope you enjoy sewing your Lotta and cowl neck Freya. Thank you very much for watching! 😊
Such a lovely collection of dresses Cath. I have been looking at the Freya dress and after watching this I am definitely going to give it a go. Your versions are lovely! ❤
Thanks Amelia! 😊 Hope you enjoy sewing the Freya dress, I’m wearing one today and it’s so comfy and cosy too 😊👍❤️
All your dresses look lovely on you,I like the colours and prints.
Thank you very much 😊
Wow, that's a lot of Tilly dresses. They are all very pretty. Great job!
Thank you very much!
I love TATB dresses, your patterns were lovely and the fabric was beautiful :)
Thank you very much 😊
Hi Cath just finished watching your vlog about your Tiily and the buttons wardrobe😃it was so inspiring because I liked the way you started out as a beginner seamstress and now look how fabulous your makes are!!😃🤩🤩 It gives me hope that I can make my own clothes with those cute patterns😊 Thank you so much I really enjoyed your makes and your sweet way of explaining how you made them. It really inspired me so much! I just love all your vlogs!😍 What a great idea of putting all the Tilly pattern makes together!
Thank you so much Norma! That’s really kind of you to say! I’m so glad you enjoyed the vlog and I hope you enjoy sewing up some of these patterns too 🥰
A very nice collection of Tilly dresses. Love that you were able to remake your first Freya. What luck to happen upon the same fabric years later. My fav Tilly dress patterns to sew are the Coco and the Joni. Have multiple versions of each. The Coco does benefit from a more substantial fabric to hold the shape, I think. The Joni dress is super fun to wear with it's full skirt, my versions range from cotton jersey to stretch velvet. You should give that one a try since you already have the book. Thanks for taking the time to record your videos.
Thank you very much! Yes I felt very lucky when I found that fabric again! Oh yes I haven’t tried the Joni yet but you’re right I really should as it has a lovely shape!
Lovely makes 😊
Thank you so much 😊
I really enjoyed this, thank you. I've never made a Tilly pattern before and I love the look of the Freya with the ruffle. I'm off to watch a forward shoulder adjustment vide now. I finished a lovely top today but the collar is maybe too high in the neck as I'm getting an odd crease/fold running across. and from what you mentioned, perhaps that's what I need to do.
Thank you very much for watching! The ruffle on the Freya is a really nice feature isn’t it!
Lovely dresses! Love from Sweden.
Thank you very much! 😊
you have quite the tilly dress collection! i really like that red bettine dress. hopefully you can find a way to save it.
Thank you very much!
Nice collection!
Thank you very much!
Good Morning ! When you talk about the autumn weather I get so excited as I will be making my annual trip to London in a few weeks. Due to Covid, it will be two years since I have been there, and I am so looking forward to the English weather. I am a true Anglophile who lives in the Texas, much warmer, weather. :O) I look forward to your posts every week, and they are the first thing that I look for with my coffee on Saturday mornings. My question is, how tall are you? The photos of you wearing your garments are a great reference regarding appearance, but I am only 5'3" and wonder about comparison for scale reasons. I have also ordered the knit Tillie book; I have been sewing since I was about 12, but I like the simplicity of the Tillie makes that you have shown.
Thanks !! Have a great week!!
Hi there, thank you for watching, that’s so nice to know you look forward to my posts on a Saturday morning 😊
I am 5’6 😊
I hope you have a wonderful trip to London in a few weeks! And that you enjoy the Tilly knit book, I love Tilly’s books and find her patterns really wearable. Thanks again and hope you have a great week too.
Thanks for this video Cath, super useful for me! You mentioned sewing your first Lotta in size 2, would you mind sharing your bust measurement at the time of the photo so i get an idea of ease?
I’m glad you found it useful! My bust measurement would have been 32 inches 😊👍
I love your videos. ❤️ from Antwerp.
Thank you very much 🥰
Really interesting vlog Cath. I had exactly the same experience as you with the coco. I used a cotton jersey and the neckline stretched out and was too big. I was blaming my poor making but it must just be because it was a cotton jersey.🤔
Thanks Clair 😊 Yes I think the fold over the fabric and sew method doesn’t work great for cotton jersey. If I make the coco again I’ll definitely try a different way of finishing the neckline. Thank you for watching
Lovely dresses, particularly green plaid one. What kind of sewing machine do you have? I'm been thinking for a very long time of updating,
Thank you very much! I have a Pfaff Ambition 1.0 and I really love it.
😃
😊❤️
Hi Cath, can I ask which dress you're wearing on the far right of your banner in your video intro? I just love the way the waist is constructed and I'd love to take a look at the pattern. Thanks :)
Hi there, it’s the Kielo wrap dress by Named Clothing - it’s a fab pattern 😊
@@madebycathcraft Thank you so much! I'll go take a look 🤞
Hi Cath. Just wondering if you turned your first - slightly too tight - Freya dress into a top?
Hi Heather, yes I did 😊
