Congratulations Tilly for 10 yrs of business in these difficult times. I have always sewn from a child and studied City & Guilds "Fashion and Design" in the 80s. Now @ 73 yrs I really enjoy using your patterns and I have made the "Orla" top countless times and even lengthening it into dresses. I love how I can adjust at the cutting stage to fit my small height and full bust. I cut the front to a larger size than the back and hey it fits! So thank you Tilly helping to keep my enthusiasm for sewing.
Thanks so much for always being so open and honest - It's been rough here as a freelance content creator, and as Marketing budgets are the first to be cut I have definitely felt it as well. I hope we can all get together in the new year and push through this!! xx
Thank you for this vlog Tilly. It’s a long time since I visited you in John Lewis London where you were making the Fifi set. I’d just returned to sewing after a long break. I’ve always found your patterns very true to size and made the Bettine dress multiple times and for others. The instructions are 👌🏻 Have a very happy break and look forward to the new patterns.( I’m a bit late watching this )😊
Tilly sweetie you have been so sweet to all your customers far and near. You are one of my favourite designer. Your patterns are amazing just like you. Have a beautiful Christmas and another successful year in 2023 XXXX
I started sewing in 2014 and started making clothes in 2015. Some of my first patterns where TATB patterns. And I own your first 2 books. The Agnes Top is still a staple. The Bettine Dress was my first dress and I loved it ! I am currently sewing another Rosa Shirtdress. I am excited to see what you will release next year and I hope your business will survive these difficult times.
Tilly, you got this old lady who could sew but had forgotten how back into sewing with your book, Love at First Stitch. I was bowled over by your brilliant instructions and I have been hooked ever since. Looking forward to the new releases!
Such a lovely video and round up of everything that has been going on in 2022. What an inspirational business you have and hats off to all of you for keeping strong in the current climate. Can’t wait to see all the exciting things that Team Buttons will bring to 2023 ❤
I have been sewing properly since about 2021 but with a 6 month break due to cancer (all clear now though 😊) so really just building my taste and portfolio of patterns but yours have become a firm favourite, I have all 3 books, the indigo, Lyra, Skye, Stevie and lotta dresses as well as the Erin dungarees, with plans to get more in 2023 (I would like the Pearl cardigan and the swimsuit patterns in particular). I find that the majority of your patterns suit my style and shape and particularly love the Skye dress and have made one for both me and my daughter. I hope 2023 sees your business flourish because I can see me being a good customer for years to come 😊 very excited to see what you come up with next 😊
Love your patterns brilliant support if struggling with both instruction colour booklet and tutorials. First year of sewing own wardrobe very excited to see what is next you guys are amazing thank you x
Hi Tilly, Happy Christmast and New Year to you and all of your team. It is tough for a lot of small business at the moment, it good to hear you are ok. looking forward to hearing and seeing all of your new patterns xxxx
Loving your updated size inclusions now, I appreciate the work you’ve put into this over 2022. This really did prevent me from looking at your patterns a couple of years ago, having a curvy pear 52” hip. One day I hope to be able to purchase one of your books if ever updated, or perhaps curvy additions may be a consideration…
I'm excited to see the new patterns! 🙌 Tilly and the Buttons Jamie was my first sewing project and absolutely love the easy to follow instructions. I am looking to up my beginner skills using all the patterns the business has to offer. Finally, a big thank you, Tilly & the team 💙 from patterns to videos. Happy New Year ☺️
I started my sewing journey with love at first stitch headband then followed on with almost every pattern in every book - just perfect for me and I recommend your books and patterns to all new sewists I meet. I really hope I get chosen as a pattern tester 🙏. Thanks TATB team ❤
Happy New Year🎉I can’t believe your 1st pattern was 10 years ago, I remember the blouse as I was just getting back into sewing. Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing your new releases and deciding which I’ll be adding to my collection 😂
Happy (almost 10 year) Anniversary! Thanks to Lauren Guthrie's (from Guthrie & Ghani) live shows, I learned about your company this year. And I absolutely adore your content and am now the proud owner of some of your books, pdf patterns and print patterns (I splurged on international shipping for those). I'm looking forward to having the next few months to stay warm inside and sew your lovely garments. Thank you and I look forward to your next decade!
Cheers to 2023! I caught the sewing bug in a big way this summer - I now have all three of your books, I'm making the Delphine skirt from LAFS with plans to make some Jessa cords, and am watching this in my new favourites, the Jamie PJ bottoms 😍 I'm excited to do even more sewing now I have my own machine and can't wait to check out your new patterns (don't tell my bank account)!
Sich a lovely video, I recently bought your book make it simple inspired by Paige Joanna cardigan she made from it. Really enjoying the layout of the book easy to read and not intimidating ❤
Thank you for sharing, Tilly 🧵💙 It's so interesting to learn about the business and see your enthusiasm first-hand. I've only made one Tilly pattern so far (the Rosa dress) and it was just a toile but wow, the instructions are so detailed and the fit was amazing. The toile also fits my mom well so I'm hoping to make her a shirt version and myself a dress version in the new year. Congratulations on ten years btw! In 2013 I would never, ever have thought I'd be sewing my own clothes by this point. They're still a bit dodgy, but I'm learning! 😃 All the best for 2023 🥂
