  • Great book for sewing beginners

    Tilly and the buttons love at first stitch is great for sewing beginners everything is very well explained in pics as well as written and I would recommend making all the pattern s and then buy the tilly and the buttons stretch book after that you should be very comfortable about making up pattern s ***********

  • Excellent instructions and patterns included

    This book is perfect for a beginner or intermediate sewer with excellent quality paper patterns and easy to follow instructions without the jargon of a traditional sewing pattern. You will need to trace the patterns from the master copies as they are printed on both sides, you would do this anyway if you wanted a made to measure fit. I use a role of Swedish tracing paper for all my patterns but you can use grease proof paper just as effectively. It is great value for money if you take into account that the paper patterns alone are worth £12-£15 each. There are YouTube tutorials for most Tilly and The Buttons patterns which I find very useful. I would highly recommend this book along with Tilly’s two other books.

    I haven't started sewing from this book yet but I will ( as soon as I will have new sewing machine) . Its well made, pictures and instructions are clear, projects are not difficult to do, but smart. Well ,they look nice on Tilly anyway. I would recommend this book for anyone not only beginers.

  • Great for young learners....and older ones too.

    I have bought this book for my younger granddaughter whom I am helping to learn to sew. We are going to have fun, she has made a long list of things she plans to try from the book! I previously bought the book for my older granddaughter and both she and I have found it so helpful.

  • Great book for beginners and experienced sewers alike

    Fantastic book, very easy to read and great patterns for everyone. Lots of precise photographs of how to do things, e.g. neck facing, putting in an invisible zip. Have already used the Megan pattern twice, wonderful instructions.

  • Great book for beginners

    This is a most attractive book which is a great aid for beginners. The free patterns, printed on good-quality paper are an asset. The projects are straightforward with easy-to-follow instructions. I am not a beginner but still found some useful hints and tips.
