I love Tilly’s patterns as she really holds your hands through each process. Great video with really good hints & tips. I now feel more able to have a go at making the Thea trousers - so thank you.😊
So pleased you found the style you were looking for. Has been good to follow your search and what you learnt, very interesting and plenty to inspire and help others wanting to make trousers. Thanks for sharing Sarah
Beautiful trousers Sarah. If you've made the peppermint magazine wide leg trousers I'd be interested to hear how they compare. Thanks for your detailed review on the Thea, really interesting 🌸
Ah thank you so much. I haven’t actually made the peppermint ones up yet, you’re right it definitely would be an interesting comparison and actually I would like to compare them but to be honest I feel a bit all trousered out at the moment! 🤦♀️😂
Ah thanks Cara! Yes there have been a few late evenings on the trouser sewing production line this week! 😂. Ooh are you making them for the weekend or after the stitch festival? x
Loved the vlog Sarah, it's been very helpful. I always have difficulty with fitting trousers these days due to my older figure. I've already bought the pattern and after watching your vlog, I feel ready to have a go at them. Thank you.
Ah thank you so much, I’m really pleased to hear that it’s been helpful. Hope you enjoy sewing them, I would definitely recommend a toile and then go for it! I’d be really interested to know how you get on with them! Thanks again. x
Congrats on the pants fitting journey!! They all look great, but the pop of pink was especially nice as it was a surprise change :) I wear all your other colours regularly, and never would have thought of a more feminine pink flowered trouser until I saw yours. Thanks for showing the detail for the low butt adjustment. Something I am still learning ...
Ooh thank you so much. Yes the pink definitely isn’t in my usual palette, but I really like it for a change!! Good luck with your pants fitting, it’s a tricky old journey! 😂
Thank you Sarah, full of inspiration and so useful. Liked the pattern but thought too wide ( I’m only 5ft!) but you taking them in shows what I could imagine wearing. 😊
Well they were a big hit! I did think they would be the one from looking at the pattern. I have ordered them to be printed so I look forward to having a go. M well done with yours!
I thought all your looks were amazing! Very stylish and those pants are perfect! I've never sewed a Tilly pattern, but I've seen many I've liked. Your pants totally inspire me to venture toward the Tilly patterns! And I totally agree with the sentiment of making many things due to making one thing! :D Have a great weekend!
Ah thank you so much Lara!! They’re such a great pattern if you want to try well fitting high waisted pants! Yes one item always leads to at least one more! 🫣😂
Great trousers, you did make me scratch my head a bit, they are a wide leg trouser pattern but the camouflage ones were thin legs, then you explained the adjustment and it made sense. So nice to have a trouser pattern to fit and I love the high waist. One to try for sure.
🫣😂 ah sorry, yes it’s tricky to remember everything once I get talking, I’m pleased I remembered the width adjustment by the end of the vlog, I would hate to mislead anyone!! I was definitely trying to get the look of the trousers I’d seen online with the camouflage ones which were narrower. Yes I’m so happy with the fit around the top, love the high waist and like the option of changing the width and length with each pair. Thank you!! ☺️
I love the brown trousers on you.I know their larger but I love the leg width of these and the softer fabric.Your finished trousers fit you brilliantly but the leg width doesn't look wide.You have made three fab yet different trousers that all look great on you.
Oh thank you so much!! Yes I definitely think that for me at least, the fabric needs to be drapier to work with the wider leg, but that’s just my preference I think. It’s such a great pattern to be able to make different looks with! 😊
Firstly, it was so lovely to meet you at the stitch festival. Hilarious that you recognised our laughs 😂😂 Secondly, I am making the Thea in April so very interesting vlog for me. Thank you. They look fantastic on you 😍😍
Ooh yes, I’m hoping to wear one of my pairs to the stitch show on Saturday. I’m sure there will be lots more pairs walking around there for you to get inspired by 😂. Thank you! ☺️
@@sewsarahstyle You have got the most amazing taste in fabric, I love all the earthy tones and "sludge" colours, right up my street. Sometimes I have tried to find the fabric but to no avail!! However, I think it has been so miserable and wet for so long, it is nice to see a spring outfit! I also really like your vlogs where you don't have to wait until the next week to see the result, you talk about a plan and then a few seconds later, hey presto, there it is!!
Ah thank you so much! I also like to have the instant make, I’m no good at waiting! 😂. Re the fabrics, many of them I’ve either had for a while or are possibly from the rag market, but I will usually say where they’re from if I can remember. 🤦♀️😂. You can always message and ask if there’s anything in particular you’re looking for. Thank you! ☺️
Wow a fantastic review Sarah, and I think you’ve nailed the fit…well done……I’m sitting on my hands as I’m not buying anymore patterns at the moment.! 😂
I know this post is all about trousers but I just wanted to say I have now made 3 LB pullovers and I love them all. I made one from stretch needlecord, one from double gauze and a sleeveless one fro a stretch knit. I’m planning to make the Peppermint wide leg trousers but am very tempted by the Thea after seeing yours. Fabworks have some lovely chambray denim @ £6 per metre that I have just ordered to make them.
Oh I love that!! A double gauze one sounds great, I have some double gauze I could use… 🤔 😂. I also planned to make the peppermint wide leg trousers, but this pattern just came up at the right time. I would be interested to hear how you get on with the peppermint ones if you make them. x
Ah thanks Bec. I hope you find the time soon, I watched your vlog, you are so busy!! If you don’t already have the fabric for them, I’d definitely make the most of tomorrow and get feeling some fabrics to make sure you have something suitable, ordering online for trouser fabric is a real gamble I find. Have a great day. 🥰
Your trousers are all fantastic, you’ve nailed the fit. I’d like to give them a go, but I’m scared of doing trousers because it waist to hip ratio is quite a big difference. I’d definitely need to do a full butt adjustment lol, plenty of junk in the trunk 😂 xx
Thanks for this video, made my decision easier. I have just looked at instructions which I don't find very easy to follow. I need more confidence in my abilities. Have you used denim yet?
Great trousers Sarah! I love the pink outfit, the colour is lovely on you and the flowery trousers are beautiful. You really have gone into the pattern in depth and put a lot of work into them, well done. The brown pair are also fabulous and is another lovely outfit. Did you make your own size or did you have to size down? Thanks for all the info💕
Ah thank you so much!! I am a size 3 waist and size 5 hips, so I guess the 4 works for both? 😂. There is a little bit of leeway towards the waist with the back darts - ie they can be adjusted if necessary, but I wanted a closer fit for the camo pair. Hope that helps 🥰
Ah sorry I forgot to add it to the description. It’s the Closet Core Sandstone jacket from their Closet Core Crew subscription so not available unless you subscribe I’m afraid! x
I love Tilly’s patterns as she really holds your hands through each process. Great video with really good hints & tips. I now feel more able to have a go at making the Thea trousers - so thank you.😊
Ah pleased to hear it thank you. It’s a great pattern. happy sewing!! ❤️
Pink looks pretty on you.
Making several test garments requires patience! Congrats for that….and final fit success!
Thank you!! It was worth the effort in the end! ☺️
So pleased you found the style you were looking for. Has been good to follow your search and what you learnt, very interesting and plenty to inspire and help others wanting to make trousers. Thanks for sharing Sarah
Ah thank you so much!! Yes I get a lot out of watching other people’s sewing projects in progress, so wanted to share mine. 🥰
The trousers are just right and a perfect fit the high waist suits you. The pink top is also a very flattering colour lovely ❤❤xx
Thank you, yes good belly covering trousers! 🥰😂
Absolutely love your trousers. Great to see the pattern in various fabrics. Amazing fit. Well done 😊
Ah thank you so much, it definitely is different depending on fabric. I’m looking forward to trying them in a crepe at some point! 😊
Great review
Thank you!! ☺️
Hi Sarah, I love the trousers on you, they look great and really suit you. Thank you for sharing. ❤😊
Ah thank you so much, it’s a pleasure, I really enjoy sharing what I make as much as I love seeing what other people are up to in the sewing world 🥰
Wow Sarah what a good job you have done with the trousers x

Ah thanks, yes unusual for me, but always one to follow a trend… 🐑 😂
You have got a fantastic fit on those trousers Sarah. You sound really excited and it too which is great XX
😂 yes I’m pretty enthusiastic about this pattern 😂😂 I think it’s relief to have finally made a pair of woven trousers I’m happy with! 🥰
Absolutely love the brown and cream outfit and the pink the crop version is very appealing think I’ll give them a go myself.
Oh thank you so much! Ooh I’d love to know how you get on if you do decide to make them! 😊
Thanks Sarah, I’ve been dying to see someone make these up. I’m so impressed with yours I’ve now ordered the pattern x
Ooh thank you that’s great, please keep me posted with how you get on!! x
Sarah they are fantastic the camo ones are so you love them 🔥🔥💕💕🤩🤩
😂 yes I do love a bit of camo! Thank you Heather! 🥰
They look fantastic! I can't wait to make some myself, hope to make some next weekend. Wow 4 pairs of trousers in a week that's amazing ❤

@@sewsarahstyle it made us chuckle on the way home. I did, I will be watching again before I delve in. I will also watch Tilly's sewalongs. 🤩🥰
Omg I didn't want to make these but now I think I do! That said I'm not sure I have ever made anything Tilly which fits except the lounge wear!!!!!
😂 thank you!! Will be interesting to see how you get on then if you do decide to make them! 🥰
Great trousers! 😊
😂 thank you!! Just need a cardigan to go with them now!! 🥰
Your trousers all look brilliant, I might have to get this pattern at the stitch show next week x
Ooh yes, I’m hoping to wear one of my pairs to the stitch show on Saturday. I’m sure there will be lots more pairs walking around there for you to get inspired by 😂. Thank you! ☺️
The pink outfit is gorgeous. You have made a great job of everything.
Hx 💕🧶🧵
Thank you so much, that’s really kind! 😊
Great review...your trousers look fab 😊
Ah thank you so much 😊
Great review of this pattern, love all of the trousers you have made, the fit is amazing 🙌
Thank you, yes it’s so cleverly drafted. 🥰
You look fab Sarah. Love them all
Thank you!! X
I like all of them but my favourite outfit is the spring one.
Thank you, it’s a bit different for me, I’m never usually floral!

My Thea pattern arrived this morning - hoping mine look half as good as yours do - they look great 😊
Ooh happy sewing! Thank you. The instructions are great, I just took my time with them.
Wow a fantastic review Sarah, and I think you’ve nailed the fit…well done……I’m sitting on my hands as I’m not buying anymore patterns at the moment.! 😂
Ah thank you. Yes it’s too tempting to keep buying the patterns isn’t it? This was what I was looking for so I’ve justified it to myself 😂

@@sewsarahstyle I do fancy giving them a go!! Xx
I was going to be cheeky and ask what size you normally wear 12 or 14 just deciding what size to make?
Ah no problem at all!! Usually a 10 - 12, but made the 8. 🥰
Thanks for this video, made my decision easier. I have just looked at instructions which I don't find very easy to follow. I need more confidence in my abilities. Have you used denim yet?
Ooh there’s a great sew along which I used!! 💙
