I’ve had this book on my bookshelf for so long and just never had the confidence to make anything. However, I picked it up the other day as I am only 5’2 I am finding it harder than ever to find clothes to fit me. I wanted to make a dress and through searching found your amazing videos! This is the second one I’ve watched now and I am brimming with confidence at giving it a go. My fabric arrives tomorrow, so now the hardest thing will be to choose which dress to make! I was set on the Lilou, but now seeing this one, I’m not so sure! Thank you so much for your video, I shall give this one a go and then hopefully be back for more inspiration!

Hi Diane are you available to help

Hi ive just watched your lovely video...im in the process of understanding the pattern for this skirt...i am a size 8 waist...size 6 hips ( on finished measurements guide)...as the skirt is very a line and you took the sides in, i feel this is something id need to do as dont like anything too wide...can you advise me as regards pattern cutting... should i just cut size 8 to make toile then taper in the sides? I cant seem to get my head around it 😅 thanks Diane

I like the fine fabric.

Thank you for using scraps! All the tutorials I’ve seen use new square pieces of fabric

Love the color. Thank you for the tutorial.

Love the cardi. What undies pattern are you going to make? Love your videos

I love this sew along! I’m going to make this cardigan this weekend. Thank you.

Thanks for this tutorial. I’m about to start this one. X

Great tutorial, you make it look so easy! I have found it difficult making sure I gather the skirt to the size of the waistband!

I’ve just made the Marlo cropped sweater as well. I made it in a wool double jersey and it’s come out very cosy. Thanks for your tips. I’m going to try the longer sleeve version now.

I absolutely loved this video and got some great tips from you. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks Dianne!

Love the fabric you are wearing, I know it’s from minerva but May I ask what it’s called? Also, if you ever get chance to show how you do your eyelets that would be a great help! Many thanks

Love the details you added on your sweatshirt!! And the neck…it’s more of a design element one would find in expensive clothes, but I understand your discomfort. I like it and I would wear it. Thanks for your recap on the knickers too.

Does this have a close resemblance to the Zadie jumpsuit?

Hi Dianne, newbie sewer here. This video is also helpful for making LONGER/DEEPER pockets. Your adding the colorful binder adds a nice touch. I probably won't. ha ha

Can you please advise where did you get the fabric from to make this Freya dress and what kind of fabric is it please?

Thank you for this, really enjoyed your tutorial, the dress looks fabulous on you

👏🏻👗

Darling sweater!!!

Nice job, Diane! Thank you!❤

Thanks for the videos 🤩

I have Basic Black, I like Japanese pattern books. You are right about the sizing, Japanese ladies have a slight figure ( mostly) and a short upper torso and longer lower body. All you need to do is run a tape measure over the pattern and make adjustments. Another thing to rember, no Sean allowance so add one when cutting!

Inspirational. Thank you.

Thank you for a lovely clear video!

Thank you so much

Hello! Thanks for your video! Do you need to use the same sort of fabric for the new pocket piece? For example, I have a satin pocket, can I use a light weight twill?

Did you lengthen your Greta dress? It’s really cute.

I just purchased this pattern and it arrived last week. I'm looking forward to trying the shorter length. Thank you so much fir the wonderful tips and inspiration!

Lovely video. Feel I can now go ahead. I have pattern and fabric ready. Is the pattern true to size? As the fabric is stretch jersey should I go for one size smaller as I want it to fit, not be baggy. Thanks.

What type of elastic did you use? I tried to use 1 inch wide knitted elastic but it was so strong and stiff and difficult to feed through the casing.

Superstar :) can’t wait to repair the pocket on my favourite suit. When I wear it at work at the moment, things disappear into the trouser leg like I’m some sort of magician. I’m new to sewing with a machine but this looks like the sort of repair I can manage. can I ask, what does the zigzag stitch do?

Hi Diane I’ve cut out my pieces but on the front bodice there is a 1” piece coming out of the top, do I use that as part of the neck or do I sew it in the side seam.?

Hi Dianne, Just found your chanel,I'm also in the UK, Love all your tops, i upcycle my jumpers and sew most of my clothes - also started to make my own patterns from RTW that i had, Thanks Elaine

A lovely video, such a calming voice.

I have your exact sewing machine! I only began sewing in March and have followed you on several of the Tilly patterns. I am learning to see by all 3 Tilly books. I have not tried any of the stretch fabric patterns from her books yet. I am sooo nervous! What width/setting of zigzag stitch did you use, since we have the same machine? I would love to know!

Good sewing tutorial very clear and concise instructions. I’ve been wanting to make the Joni for a long time but didn’t quite understand the instructions in the book. I have all three of the Tilly books and I’m always reading and learning from them.

What a gorgeous dress 🤩

Love this blouse, I’ve got the book and really must try it. Do you think you could make it without the buttonholes and slip over your head x

Lovely.

Everything is very nice!

Nice!

Love your sewing makes and that lovely top your wearing. What pattern is it pls?

It looks lovely. Would you have any tips for adding a drawstring waist instead of the elastic and if you make the long trousers, can you still add the pockets in? Your sew alongs are so useful and step by step. Thank you.

I just typed it in and there it was! Will follow you anywhere Dianne x

There still no link and Ihave searched too

There is no link, I've searched for Beyond the sewing room and its not found.

Do you have anyplace you can purchase a peg board? That would help with so many organizational needs. They aren’t very expensive and you can spray paint them to match and pick up some hooks to hold sewing accessories. Your room is very organized I must say!

Thanks so much for sharing the bra shelf I think it’s Genius and I shall be trying it 👍👍🥰

👏👏👏. What an awesome idea. Thank you so much for sharing this technique❤😊
