I absolutely love my gallery tunic, but I have the same reservations on the dress length. I love the tunic with skinny pants and shorts to balance out the loose ness. There are very good instructions on full bust adjustments.
The city stroll skirt is awesome. It’s fun to be a little short. Admittedly, I got to test it and wore it all winter long…[Read more]

I like all of the patterns. I’m not in a hurry to make any of them though. The maritime is a cute classic style, but I really like it in stripes, however I cannot wear stripes. They make me look wider. The skirt is very cute, but it looks too short for my lifestyle. I’m 5’7″ and I teach so I kind of need to move around a bit. Up and down off…[Read more]

The skirt is the pattern that I found most intriguing. I <3 skirts! I wear them almost exclusively in the summer. I like that it is a wrap skirt for ease, but the slit up the front concerns me. I, like a lot of women, am not comfortable with my thighs and fear this may show more than I am comfortable with. I know it can be lengthened, but at 5’4″…[Read more]

I really like both top patterns and will be purchasing as soon as I have a little extra “me” money. The Gallery top looks like it would be the perfect top (made in a voile or gauze) to throw on over a tank top or camisole for the slightly cooler summer nights at the beach. I probably won’t make it as a dress as I like my dresses to be more…[Read more]

I love the Gallery so much, I just wish it was a two piece collar. I can see it becoming another Portfolio dress. Hunted down and sort after.
The Maritime is divine, such a slimming and flattering style.
The skirt is so cute, I am concerned how it will look on me as I have a very thick waist and poochy tummy but I love it.
I can see how much…[Read more]

I am so excited about the new tops. In fact, my patterns arrived this afternoon and I have the Gallery all traced off waiting for the kids to go to bed. #teampaper 🙂
I have been nervous about sewing for myself, but I KNOW with your patterns I don’t need to worry. They will be drafted well and come with great instructions. I have made the…[Read more]

I can definitely see myself making all three. The skirt will probably come first, especially if I can make it fit onto a remnant of thick wool jersey that I have. I think it will make a smashing winter skirt.
The maritime top will undoubtedly get made, but I may already be at saturation point with my store bought St James tops. But at the price…[Read more] -

Hello. I have bought all three patterns. I can really see the gallery tunic being made quite soon, in something light weight. If I had time before my holiday I would. I will also be making it to wear to work.
I imagine the maritime top will be made again and again, although I can’t quite envision how it will work with different weights of j…[Read more]

I really love the Gallery Top – it reminds me of the Tova tunic which is a shape I love. I never made the Tova because my research indicates it doesn’t work well on large busts. I’m wondering how the Gallery will be for a large bust – I don’t see any darts – but I can’t make one for myself until after baby anyway and by then I’m sure there will…[Read more]

Thanks, Sarvi and Cat! Courtney, the skirt is designed to sit at your natural waist, but it’s really a matter of your preference. Just like if you tried things on at a store, you get to decide how you want to wear your clothing. If you prefer it to sit a little lower, that’s up to you. Mine sits at my belly button or slightly lower, yes.
