I spotted this beautiful lounge set in the making magazine and fall immediatelly in love with it! Because Alexis had reviewed the pattern and had made adjustments, she was so kind to send me the updated pattern, which I strongly recommend! Being a total sewing newbie (at least, machine sewing), I was very excited but also a bit intimidated, whether I would be able to manage it. But no worries: Alexis explains everything so well and easily understandable! And I absolutely love the result (used a linen cloth) - thank you very much for such a lovely and well-written pattern!

Great blouse and an easy sew. Do want to try the dress version. The width of your fabric does make a big difference so pay attention when ordering fabric. I did have to pull out a few different fabrics from my stash to find the one with correct width and length.

I really loved making the Iris Blouse. I'd bought the fabric with a different blouse pattern in mind, for a particular "look" I had in mind (early music performance, sleek all-black ensemble). Then I saw the awesome #bhmpatterndesigners challenge, and remembered I wanted to try this pattern out. The stars aligned! Dear reader, I bought it. I used new fabric and old buttons and, arguably, an ancient mindset in clothes making, made new and modern in Alexis's design. I cut carefully (beautiful but shifty fabric), sewed lovingly, and wore the blouse in my concert with great style and comfort. Brava, Fibr & Cloth Studio!

Ordered this to use for mending. Appreciate the quality and colors.

This pattern is written well and the instructions are very detailed. I really appreciate the illustrations! I love all of the variations, as they make great wardrobe staples. This dress is one of my favorites and I'm already planning to make more!

This is such a lovely blouse, a joy to make and wear. Really appreciate that it is zero waste, so there's no extra printing costs or fiddly cutting. The instructions and notes are clear and it comes together so easily. I'm a very slow maker but I this just seemed to sew itself. And the result is stunning. It's one of those few makes that people always comment on, even strangers. Thoroughly recommend.

I love the Linen Coaster kit. I bought a 2nd kit for my 10yr old granddaughter. A perfect start on her hand sewing journey. It would be nice to see this kit in the kids classrooms. Thank you!

I love the needs, the snips, the strings, all of it. I recommend these kits to anyone who will listen. I loved the little fabric book too.

I was sewing patches on my dad's sweatshirt for his Christmas present. Saved my fingers and helped go faster. Thank you.

I struggle with using a traditional thimble and sometimes have numb fingers so using these needle pullers has been tremendously helpful! Very comfortable to wear for long periods of time, easy to put on and take off, stretchy to accommodate different finger sizes. They seem thin despite their effectiveness so I try to be careful when donning/doffing. I will always keep these in my sewing kit!

This guide is essential for those looking to start hand sewing. It has been so helpful to me as I work on creating a me-made wardrobe. Thanks to this guide (and the Fibr & Cloth mending kit!) I can confidently sit and stitch instead of faffing about on my phone when I'm waiting - important to me as I try to slow down and live more mindfully. Mending clothes has become a fun task rather than a drag!

Strata Top Hand Sewing Apparel Kit

What a lovely surprise! The order even included the pattern and nice soft linen and all the pieces were cut out so I could just get to the fun part: stitching! This is my first hand sewn garment, so I watched the Hand Sewing Basics video on YouTube, which is super lovely and helpful and even features the Strata top and french seams (swoon!). Thank you for the care you put into this kit - it shows!

I haven’t started sewing yet, but my kit arrived packaged beautifully and the fabric (rose) is gorgeous! Can not wait to start!

So happy to get this little kit! I love to handsew but the wash/cut out part not so much. Beautifully put together and the fabrics are always lovely. Thanks!
