During lockdown, I decided to get my old sewing machine out and try sewing clothes again. I have had great success in the past with all manner of curtains, cushions and bags, but had failed miserably at making clothes. I bought your book Stretch, because I wanted to learn a bit about stretch garments, not having the courage to try just yet. My sister bought me your Love at first Stitch for Christmas. I really like the format and the way your personality shines through. I have used your book as a reference for a few patterns, with great success. Even when I made a pattern from a book which was not properly drafted-- I followed the instructions and once sewn, didn't fit my 7 year old daughter. I managed to remake it, using your pattern adjustment advice. I am going to try making your Megan dress soon if I have enough time, now I am off furlough. I was really excited to see you have videos on RUclips. I will definitely be watching more of your videos. Watching you is like chatting over tea with a friend and catching up on her day. Thank you.
A lovely video! I made so many ruffled skirts and your red midi dress with the ruffle...in the 70s!!! Fun to see the flared jeans too. I saw entry of those in Canadian high school😍. Loved all your makes..
Everything is beatifull.
I love the 👕 you are wearing.
Very nice Tilly. A very positive and creative inspirstion!
I love the Stevie top. I have lost count of how many I have made. Probably about 9.
Love your patterns and fabrics!
Thanks for the inspiration! I'm getting my machine out right away!
Love ur makes and your haircut!
The clothes are gorgeous!
Love the fabric you wearing
thanks for the video, everything is very detailed and beautiful
I actually think the pale blue loungewear set near the end is extremely chic! That style really suits you.
You look great in all of these
Love all your makes! Yes I would love more videos like this, because I love your patterns & you give me inspirations of ideas.😁thank you Tilly 💕
Thanks so much, Brenda! x
Love to see more makes!
Hi Tilly, I’m watching from Australia in July 2021. Still having lockdowns here. Thank the Lord for sewing, it has been what is keeping me sane. PS, I love the hydrangea fabric shorts. 💜✂️🧵
It's good to see how your patterns can be adapted. Love the red and pink dress!
Loving all the makes, happily wear them all. Feeling inspired. More of these vlogs please, really enjoyable. Melissa x
Fun makes!
Just brought you latest book and your black geo colourful fabric (a little treat for surviving 6 months at home with 3 children) after watching a RUclips video where you were wearing the dress. I became obsessed with the fabric and I’m normally a vintage style lover, I can’t wait to make and wear it. Thankyou Tilly. X
I love the cute, bright colours. I've found lockdown has let me slide into a real wardrobe slump. I wear a suit to the office about half the time, but now I'm not in the office and don't turn the camera on for meetings so it's been old sweatshirts and plain tees. I think I need to make some fun, comfortable garments for fall, to lift my spirits!
I feel you - I went through a leggings phase for a while there, but dressing up at least a few days a week has definitely lifted my mood :)
I agree.. awesome video. You're really great to listen to and I love your insights!
during lockdown - it was a great way to spend time
Tilly and the Buttons I love all your makes!
Would love to see more of these types of videos, better yet taking 3-4 of your patterns and creating a mini wardrobe focused on, travel, entertaining, workshops presentation, etc...
I basically taught myself to sew through lockdown here in Canada. I’ve gone from sewing a drawstring bag to making a jumpsuit. It is now fall 2021 though. I love this video as it gives me inspiration for my love for double gauze and other fabrics and patterns and styles that may suite me as I am short and curvy. I too love your last make the best!
The fabric on the second dress is absolutely stunning! Obsessed
Please more of these videos. 🥰
I ❤️ your sew along in lock down and made a matching outfit with the safiya trousers. Please do more taking videos I like them so I’m sure everyone else will as well. Ps thanks for such great patters xx
Love your Stevie the fabric!! Just stunning 💕 and your Alexa jumpsuit as I’m a navy girl. I’m just about to cut out a Alexa hack the indigo skirt and Alexa top!! Can I just say your patterns Amazing!, instructions The Best! You’ve definitely inspired and improved my sewing journey many thanks xx
Aw thanks, Lesley - that's so great to hear :)
I love the top you’re wearing - those colours!
That's my favourite one too!
I love this type of video, please keep doing them😍
I've been back n forth especially having lost my dear MIL this past month. But I did finish my first skirt yesterday, and I made some gift masks for family and a gift wallet for my friend.
I am so sorry for your loss.yeah for making a skirt!
I'm so sorry for your loss, Chrissy. x
Thank you for your kindness 💕 🌸
That red and pink dress really suits you and I love it,
Being away from work and saving all the time from the hour-long commute to and from work has really boosted my energy for creating. I love all your lockdown makes. That print by Kenna Sato is super cute!
I really enjoyed every moment of this video, you put into words so well the impact of the lockdown on so many of us - one day despondent and then later on, feeling able to get some sewing done. Thanks Tilly, more videos like this one would be a great idea!
And would love to see more makes video’s loved it👍Xx
Fabulous makes, adore your books, I have them all, lots made from them. I love this style of video from you. Best wishes from Jersey Channel Islands.
Really and truly you look fabulous in all the styles that you questioned ....this has inspired me to make the long Stevie dress. I have already made the Stevie dress so all I need is the add on. Thank you so much. I just love all the makes...but seriously, you really look great in all the outfits...especially the red and pink one. Love love it.
Thank you Cathleen x
This was a really lovely video Tilly, I enjoyed seeing what you had sewn up for yourself and they were all gorgeous makes. I'm just half way through making my first indigo dress and can't wait to get it finished. Got so many of your patterns on my to sew list!! Xx
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I hope you're enjoying sewing Indigo - one of my faves :)
@@TillyButtons thank you, I have.. it's now finished and I absolutely love it. I have another planned already 😃 xx
Loved seeing your "lockdown" projects!
Lovely makes, so inspirational. Please do some more Tilly.
Loved seeing what our favorite sewing teacher has been up too ❤️
:)
Thanks for sharing your personal prices. Loved this video. I’m a new sewer and loving this for inspiration. Love your earring too!
The first and last outfit are my favorites.
Love watching all your makes. I found you thanks to other girls who make your patterns, they are very beautiful
Loved seeing your makes and more chat! So many projects lined up ha ha xxx
Thank you for the Stevie and Indigo addons this makes the patterns really great value and instructins are brilliant as always. Your makes are all lovely xxx
Aw thank you, Paula :)
Would definitely love to see more of this sort of video from you. I am a big fan of your patterns. Love the fabrics you chose.
Thank you, Ann! x
yes please do more of this video, very inspiring. Thank you!
Hi Tilly what you made is so amazing bravo to you and I love the fact that you have injected colour especially how things have been in the world. So good to see you on your channel. Stay safe always lovely 🧡💜❤💙
Aw thanks Sarah, that's so lovely of you :) Hope you stay safe too x
Loved seeing all your makes 😁
I loved this video, yes I would enjoy seeing more.
Love the blue pants and top - fantastic 🙌🏻
Love your patterns and books. All your makes look wonderful and it would be smashing if you could do more videos like this please!
Love all your makes they are so fresh and lovely. Loved your blog and look forward to the next one. Jane x.
I brought my sewing machine 7 years ago but didn’t know where or how to start. Your books and patterns have inspired me to start making clothes and I love your fabric types and colours used as examples to get me started.
That's so great to hear you found them inspiring... Happy sewing!
The lockdown has definitely inspired me to be more creative and my sewjo has been going strong.
Love! Love! Love! Amazing colours. It made me instantly happy looking at all of your makes! So yes, more please 😘 Thanks for taking the time & effort to share.
That's so nice - thank you!
Such joyful makes xxx
Aww yay, loved seeing you in this type of video! Your makes are lovely and are helping me out of my sewing slump. I recently had a baby and I’m so inspired by how much can still be done in smart time chunks. 💕
Congratulations, Vanessa! So glad to hear you're still sewing. Yes it's great once you realise you can fit little bits of sewing in here and there and still feel creative :)
Love all of your makes. My favourite is the Jean's project, I'd not really seen these before made up but I'm tempted to make a pair for myself now! 🙂 found the video really inspirational in terms of how you are fitting sewing in with childcare too. I'm expecting a baby soon so am hoping to continue sewing too 🙂💖
Congratulations! I hope you're able to still make time for a bit of sewing :) The Jessa jeans are a lovely, satisfying project to sew x
The Kenna Sato double gauze fabric looks just like an outfit I had in the 80's! I love it!! I want to make that dress now :)
The print is actually called 'Abstract 80s Pattern', haha!
Tilly and the Buttons thanks for letting me know! I’m going to try and find some😄
Beeeeaaaautiful makes Tilly!! Loved this video ☺️ x
Lovely makes Tilly. Great to see them and would love to see more makes videos. Thanks for sharing 😻
When the lockdown started I’ve bought your second and third book. I already had your first, I am a great fun. Finally, last week I’ve made Safiya trousers, and it has been such a pleasure, and the easiest garment I’ve ever made, thanks so much.
Ah that's great to hear - enjoy! x
Happy Sewing
Love all the garments and found them very inspiring. Actually have made the Alexa jumpsuit which I love wearing. Thanks, Tilly, for all the encouragement to sew my own wardrobe. I love your patterns and suggestions.
More videos please 👍🏻
Loved this! I have the Indigo printed. MUST make it!
You must! It's such a lovely dress pattern x
Hello from Australia, this is my first time tuning in. All of your makes are just lovely.
The pink & red fabric you used is my fav. I have two of your books but keep forgetting to use the patterns, I must change that! My sewing has been all over the place as well. I have put it down as to what is going on. Our state is in stages 3 & 4 lockdown at the moment. Day to day is so very different. 😊
LOVE all of your makes!! I am looking forward to making the pants from your book for fall. It has been too hot in my section of the US for anything other than sundresses and shorts.
Loved seeing your makes! Thanks, it's very inspirational!
Loved all your makes and impressed at how productive you’ve been.
After watching your video I was inspired. I bought the Stevie pattern and found some material in my stash.
Such a fun pattern and great instructions, easy to follow.
The neckline is a bit high for my liking and I attempted to alter it. I had a bit of difficulty making the front neckline interfacing match. But managed to pull it off. Your neckline looks a bit different to me also. Is there a video to watch on alterations?
Really appreciate your videos and website.
I didn't change the shape of the neckline, but on the multicoloured version I cut a narrower neckline facing to avoid the loud print showing through the see-through fabric.
We have lots of blog posts on fitting alterations (see tillyandthebuttons.com) but we don't have anything specific on altering a neckline. What you'd need to do is lay the facing over your new neckline and trace it off. Then adjust the lower edge of the facing so it's the width you want it to be. x
I’ve really enjoyed this video and it’ll be interested in looking back on it. My life hasn’t changed from the point of view of work but my family have been at home so that’s been different which has prevented me from making more things. I have to say that your latest book has come in handy as most of the makes (or rather, all) in it are lounge wear style 😊
This is the first video of yours that I've watched and I really loved this style!
Enjoyed this video.Please do more of these video.
I’d love more vlogs like this 😀
Tilly I loved this video, I’m in the camp of losing my sewjo, have made masks but really want to make nice clothes for myself again. Loved what you made
Love your blog, more please !
Really inspired!! Lockdown got me started in sewing and I’m loving it. More videos like this please 👍
love all the makes you have done in lockdown. Have got your T shirt pattern and the pjs both are excellent . Would the dress patterns suit an older lady .i am tempted but unsure ?
So loved your video, yes, please do more! X
More, more, more please Tilly, I loved this video that you made about your lockdown projects. BTW, I named my dog `Tilly’ after you 🐶🐕🦺
Beautiful......makes 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Loved your vlog Tilly - do make more!
Yes I would love to see more videos .
Lockdown helped me focus on sewing , or did the sewing help distract from lockdown ? All the online fabric shops I’ve bought from have been great. However I’ve struggled to buy buttons. It’s almost impossible to match them to fabric when looking at images on websites. Thread is less of a problem because many shops offer a thread matching service.
Your video is inspiring. More please!
I LOVE EVERYTHING! Tilly, where can i get the jumpsuit pattern?
Very inspiring. I think I really need to get the Alexa jumpsuit pattern, it looks so comfy but still stylish. I've made the Jaimie PJ bottoms and the pinafore with all the buttons and pockets from your patterns during lockdown. Love them both. I do have 5 pinafores altogether!! Is that too many?
hi Tilly, new subscriber here. Love your makes!
Im back at work now but the couple of months were sheltered in place It was incredible having the entire day every day to do all the makes now im having anxiety bc I'm back to not having time to make 😪
Even if you only have a few minutes a day, it's surprising how much sewing you can get done. Can you set aside an evening to cut out a project? Then five minutes to wind a bobbin and get everything ready. Another few minutes to sew your first seams, and you'll be away... :)
Love the purple outfit. Please make a pattern.
Hi Dinora, you can find the patterns for this outfit here: shop.tillyandthebuttons.com/products/make-it-simple + shop.tillyandthebuttons.com/products/stevie Jenny x
The flowy tier dress is so cute ! What model Janome do you have? Do you find making button holes are easy on it and using heavier fabrics like denim ?
More more more please...!😀
Good day!! Where could I find the white rainbow organic jersey fabric? It's nice!
Love this video seeing what you have made. Question, notice on your Stevie dress you have abandoned the larger neck facing - is this part of the new add-on instruction or a personal choice. ? Love your colour and fabric choices. Thanks for sharing and wishing I was less of a prevarication and a speedier sewer.
Ooh thanks for asking about that, Vicki - I meant to mention it in the video but forgot, oops. I cut a narrower facing for the multicoloured version of the dress as the white part of the fabric is quite see-through while the coloured parts are very bold so I didn't want them to show through. I sewed it on the same way as the regular facing. x
Tilly, I love your patterns, but I've got a 36 gg bust. And try as I might i cannot attempt a full bust adjustment on them. I attempted one on the betting dress. It looks like a car crash.
Love your makes especially the alexa are you bringing it out as a paper pattern i can't do pdfs, ive got all books just working through them all
Hi Judith, thank you for your lovely message. I'm afraid we do not have any plans to bring Alexa out as a paper pattern at the moment. Jenny x
lol, i guess no one else saw the wee little spider running on the inside of the jumpsuit? lol
