Friday pattern pick
Friday, September 26th, 2014
I make no apologies about the fact that this is yet another Tilly and the Buttons pattern. This one is called Miette – very catching! The best news of all is that we’re going to be stocking all Tilly’s patterns in our soon to be open shop in Horncastle, Lincolnshire. I am soooo excited.
This skirt is a wrap around affair with a gentle flare that ties at the front in a bow. There is a wide overlap at the back (no flashing your knickynoos) and optional patch pockets. If you choose not to do the pockets, this is a super quick make.
It’s a perfect pattern for the beginner sewer as there are no fiddly zips or buttonholes and it’s easy peasy to fit. However if you’re more advanced then you should still give one a go as it’s just such a lovely garment.
As with all of Tilly’s patterns the instructions are crystal clear with no jargon and the instruction booklet includes photos of each step to help you along. The packaging itself is a joy to behold. You could keep this skirt as plain as you like or jazz it up with embellishments or topstiching. If you want a bit of inspiration take a look at what people are making in the Miette Maker Gallery on Tilly’s pinterest page. The pattern does need a fair amount of fabric – anywhere between two and three metres depending on size. It’s definitely worth it though as the finished result is so cute. As will all of Tilly’s patterns you can order a paper or digital version depending on what you prefer and how fast you want to get your little hands on it.
I’ve made only one of these so far in a royal blue cotton with lots of tiny cars on it. I really should get on and make another one. I’ll add it to the list.
A very useful sewing site
