- Be warned, this is a bit of a long video!
I'm reviewing the new Tilly and the Buttons book "Stretch!" which is all about sewing with knits and making yourself comfy clothing!. I'll be going through what the book covers, the included patterns as well as showing you guys the versions that I've made!
Enjoy!

Really helpful when deciding to purchase or not. Of course I will! Thanks
Great to have a ‘walk and talk’ through the book. SO helpful. Thankyou. You have helped me decide to invest in this book to start my journey with stretch fabrics. Got my sewing machine a few months ago for my birthday. Loving learning something new. 🌺😊
You look great in all the outfits!!
Thanks for the advice and I love your versions, especially the dresses.
Your makes are fantastic! I was convinced I didn't need another sewing book but you've just changed my mind. Thank you (I think!). ⭐️
I love this post. I am now to get a book and i subscribed
Thank you for making such a great overview of the book! I really appreciate it. I was going to buy just the coco pattern and I've now decided to get the book instead, and if I ever wanted to I reckon I could make something like Coco using the Freya pattern as you're right the neckline could be changed, once I learn how :) You have shown me just how many tips the book contains (I'm a beginner so that will be very helpful I'm sure!). Also, really liked your makes-some lovely fabric choices! Thank you :)
Thank you so much for sharing this video with the youtube viewers I am so glad I purchased this book. Cannot wait to make some of these patterns and show them to Tilly. Your outfits you made are so beautiful brava and thank you again. 😊😊😊
Wow, those patterns are all so nice! And your garments are so beautiful. I think my favorite one is the striped dress, so cute!
Thank you! The stripey Freya is definitely one of my favourites. It's the perfect winter dress!
Love seeing your versions! My book is due to arrive any time soon - so so excited!!
Thank you! Hopefully it'll arrive soon - I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do!
Love all your versions! Cannot wait to make most of the patterns, i feel like they will all get so much wear🙂
Thank you! The Stella joggers definitely get the most wear of the bunch but they're all so comfy!!! :)
I really really enjoyed seeing your makes, I have the book but im scared of mistakes! I will start this sunday and just go for it,mistakes is how we learn!
I have been patiently waiting for you to get on youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay! I'm so proud of you, Emily!
Prinncess Wade Haha! Thanks! Hopefully I won’t disappoint!! 😂
Wow thank you for sharing, your striped dress and joggers are awesome! Great to see the styles on a moving body and your tips and explanations on fabric and construction were very helpful.
Tanya N Gaby thank you!
I'm so ready to receive my book in the mail! LOL. Thank you for the book tour. And love your makes as well
I got so jealous of those joggers when you were wearing them on the plane!! Love that strippy freya dress as well!!
Haha! To be fair I was totally thinking of you when I made that stripey dress. I think it reminds me of one that you have!!!
Love all your makes! They look great on you! TFS xx
Love your new channel! I just got this book so plotting my makes as we speak! X
Thanks! 😊. Hope you enjoy making them - these patterns really are awesome!
An absolutely brilliant and thorough review 😊, thank you. I haven't purchased the book yet but it's definitely one I need to buy soon. I love the Stella Hoodie dress and the Bibi Pinafore, plus the Frankie Tee. If they fit me as well as her other stretch patterns that I have I just know that half my everyday wordrobe will be Tilly patterns. You model them so well 😀. Xx
Emily that was a brilliant book review - I'm so excited because I did order this book a few months ago so I'm assuming it will be arriving soon! Lovely makes as always :) I love that blush french terry with the stripe in the lining of the hood. Tilly's products are always so well made - great value. What fun this must have been for you to be a part of!
Thank you! I'm sure it'll arrive any day now! It was so much fun to be a part of the book. I was so lucky to have been chosen!
That's the best review of this book I've seen by a mile. I'm not new to sewing stretch so wondered would I learn much from the book. Also I wasn't drawn to some of the patterns for myself, but you totally sold this to me and I've just ordered a copy from Amazon. I hope you're on commission!😊
Clare Thornley Lol, thanks! There are some great patterns here. I’m sure you’ll get lots of use out of them!!!
Great review, Emily! As I'm big busted and have broad shoulders, I don't usually go for ruffles in those areas (i made an exception when I sewed up your Ruffle Tee last June, though) but I'm so so tempted by that Freya variation! Love Frankie too, that curved hem is perfection. Your Stella Joggers are great, especially that "design feature" of rolling them up. Might leave your ankles a bit chilly, but you'll be too comfy to care!
Ah yes, the chilly ankle problem. I also wear my jeans turned up too so I'm always in a bit of a cold ankle situation! LOL. I think if you get the placement of the ruffles just right, it'll still suit you! The way the ruffles are topstitched on gives you the ability to put them where it will suit your body best!
I have just discovered your channel and it looks like you've stopped making them! If you come back, will be excited to watch more x
I bought book on Amazon love it. I wish it came with one of those strips of ribbon so you can keep your place in book.
I just purchased an overlocker and the Stretch book to go with it!
That was a very good informative review thankyou
I enjoyed your video very much. So much I subscribed about halfway through.
Lynette Daniels thanks! I’m glad you liked it! ☺️
Thank you for a goood review, I really need to order this book :)
I love these versatile stylish patterns and the idea of patterns in the back ready to use is amazing! Great book and well done! Will you be making more books? Or do you have some already?
I love your hoodie dress! Very cute! I cant wait to get my copy ( unfortunately the canadian release date is march 20th)
Thank you! I'm sure you'll love the book when it arrives! ☺️
Tops look great but there’s something amiss with the skirt and the skirt of the striped dress.
Sold x
Have your Stella joggers bagged at the knees at all since you made them? This is the one thing that puts me off making lounging trousers, knowing which fabric to buy to avoid that. I have started sewing knits in the last few months after many years of sewing wovens only, just tops really, but I’d like to give joggers a go.
Jan Di Marco hi! Sorry for the late reply. This answer is yes they have bagged out a little. That’s because the french terry jersey I used doesn’t have and elastane in it for good recovery. Check for that when you’re fabric shopping!
I think I must be the only person not really loving the patterns in the New book. Joggers and hoodie patterns are all the same and the raglan tee shirt is also the same as others which I own already. Nothing really different than what's already about apart from the ruffle dress which I wouldn't wear with being broad shouldered. Disappointed as I loved Tillys 1st book and really wanted to love this 1.
