from 179 reviewsAbsolutely wonderful pattern. I've made 3 poppy tops, which I'm able to wear braless!!!! (40H bra size) and one stand alone Poppy skirt: all are absolutely fantastic. Next on my list is a poppy dress with sleeves!
10/10 pattern!
This is the first time I have made clothes and now I have made 3 variations of this! It’s such a good pattern. It’s easy to put together and everything is explained so clearly with brilliant explanations for everything, including how to alter the pieces to size. The pattern teaches you along the way and I never felt lost. The fit itself is relatively simple but the ties make it look so tailored.
Truly a brilliant pattern, especially for people wanting to jump into clothes.
Great pattern for confident beginners! I've made the sleeveless version in both the mini and midi lengths and I'm obsessed with both. I love the scoop back, and also tried out the keyhole hack on the other which looks great. Super comfy and flowy :)
This pattern gave me the chance to try some new techniques like darting, gathering, and adjusting pattern measurements. It was fun to sew and watch come together, and the perfect difficulty level for me as a confident beginner. I made the mini version in a red linen and I love it sooo much. I tie the sides loose when I want to be comfy, and tighter when I want to look more put together. I will definitely be making a few more of these dresses!
This was a great pattern. I've been sewing for a long time, but am solidly in the adventurous beginner category. I spent extra time grading the bodice with a muslin for a better fit - and it was totally worth it. In love with this pattern and definitely glad I made a version of the patten with heavy tracing paper so I can make it again, and again, and again... (I'm thinking a flannel version for winter??)
This pattern was such a fun make! Very clear instructions with very clear step by step pictures. I loved that there was an in depth section for adjustments which made it easier to get a perfect fit. I got many compliments. :)
What a gorgeous pattern! Emma is truly an artist in pattern design. The willow is a simple pattern yet it is elevated through its stunning gathers, side ties and sleeve options. This pattern would suit any body type. I've already made 3 versions. Love the Willow.
Emma makes this easy, clear instructions for a versatile pattern with lots of potions and online chat contact If you get stuck.
This pattern is so thoughtful. I kept seeing this dress and thought it was cute but didn't really get the hype. Then I made it! New favorite dress for real and I will be making at least a couple more.
I love this pattern so much!! I have made a couple of sets (top and skirt) and have worn them so much! The full skirt really is stunning. I also had some 110 wide fabric and just reduced the width of the skirt which worked perfectly (on the advice of the designer!) highly recommend 💜💜💜
This was such a thoughtfully written pattern and a very approachable and rewarding project! The pattern delivers a very striking and fun result without a ton of complexity or difficult technique. I was using a very slippery/shifty fabric which was quite difficult to work with, and I think it wouldn't have worked at all with a more intricate/complicated pattern. So this was perfect! Looking forward to making this in a variety of fabrics -- it worked so well for a formal wedding guest dress, and I can tell it will also be amazing as a casual summer day dress!
I loved this pattern and it's one I'll be making in a few different styles! Explanations and instructions are clearly laid out at every step. I made a version that falls somewhere between the midi and mini and shortened the fluted sleeves by several inches. Next make will be a sleeveless version. I'll be making variations of this dress for years to come :)
What an amazing patters! The PDF was easy to read, the video cleared up any confusion, and the final product is SO cute!🤩
