Tilly and the Buttons 

We all love slipping into a new item of clothing, feeling the soft material on our skin, and walking out our front doors, confident in what we’re wearing. However, there are times when we can’t find the item we’re looking for in our local clothing stores or want something unique to our preference of colour and material. Whether you’re an experienced dressmaker or someone who loves to create their own clothes at home, Tilly and the Buttons has a wide selection of patterns that are gorgeous and have easy to follow instructions.
 
The patterns are designed on quality paper using a vegetable-based ink, which is not only best for the environment but makes the pattern easy to read as the ink doesn’t fade quickly and lasts longer, giving you the time you need to use the pattern. For those new at sewing, the manufacturers take you into account when packaging their products. There are easy to follow, step-by-step pictures, allowing you to check these as you sew.
