Your fitting issues might not be starting where you think they are... 👀 When trying on your garment or toile (muslin), it’s easy to jump straight in to pinning and pinching out folds of fabric wherever you see the problems at the bust, armholes, side seams... But often with fitting, a less obvious issue might be causing these problems in the first place 😯 Getting a well-fitting garment is all about how it hangs.

Learning to sew is a life-long process. Not only are there so many skills to learn, there are also multiple approaches to achieving the same outcome. There’s always something new to try. Often there are one or two techniques that niggle at your brain, telling you to try them, but for whatever reason you keep putting it off... For me it’s machine-stitched buttons! I don’t know why I’m so hesitant to try them. Actually, I do. A machine automatically hammering a sharp needle up and down over a hard

Don’t skip this step when sewing gathers! 😯 Gathering is created by machine-sewing rows of long, loose stitches along the edge of the fabric, which you then pull on to smoosh up (technical term) the fabric 🪡 Sew the gather stitches in a contrast colour so you can see them easily, with a long stitch so they will move easily when pulled. The part people sometimes forget is to lower the thread tension dial on your machine. This makes the stitches nice and loose, so they will gather up the fabric

How we make our sewing patterns pt.1: Design and Development ✏️ Ever wondered how a sewing pattern comes to life? This is how we do it at Tilly and the Buttons 👀 We put a ton of love, care and attention into each any every pattern that we produce, so it’s a loooong process – around 6 months from start to finish. This is video 1 of 4 – stay tuned for the other parts coming later this week. We originally filmed and edited this series in 2022 – we’ve since moved studio and had some team changes, b

Counting down our top five posts of 2024... number 5 If there’s one thing about Tilly and the Buttons (well, apart from being beginner-friendly), it’s that we don’t take ourselves too seriously, and this year I really leaned into silliness on the ‘gram. Of course this post does have a more serious subtext of how relentless parenting can be, but you’ve gotta laugh to get through it, amirite? Judging by the comments on the OG post, lots of you can relate! Fun fact: This Reel offered a sneak peek o

How to add a gathered skirt to a top – save this post for later! 📌 As I always say, a sewing pattern is just a template – add your own creativity, and the sky’s the limit! One simple way to transform a top into something else is to add a gathered skirt, like I did with this Samara top. A good rule of thumb when working out dimensions of a gathered skirt is to make it somewhere between 1.5 to 2 x your hip measurement, depending on how gathered you want it to be. I made mine 1.7 x my hips. Divide

My latest book, Mini Makes, has turned 1! 🎂 We have loved seeing the adorable creations that our lovely readers have made from it, particularly the matching outfits! 😍 If you haven’t held a copy in your hands already, the book features 24 (mostly unisex) projects to sew for children aged 0-12 years, with patterns included either to trace off or download. The garments are all cute, comfortable and practical – the kinds of clothes children will want to wear every day. Most of them are mini versi

I’ll go first – grading seam allowances 🫠 Yes, it’s important to reduce bulky seam allowances, particularly on thicker fabrics. No, I do not enjoy doing it. 🫣 And you?

One of the factors I thought about when deciding on the patterns to include in my new book Mini Makes was how quick they are to sew ⏰ Whether you have little ones yapping at your heels or you’re making last minute gifts for friends, I’m sure you’ll appreciate that! 🤪 The other day I whipped up a mini Billie sweatshirt for my son from this gorgeous checkerboard French terry from @elvelyckan. I used an overlocker but you can also sew the whole thing on a regular sewing machine using a zigzag stit
