Review: An excellent book for novice clothes-makers! - I've made two things from this book (well, two patterns across three garments -- two pairs of the Safiya trousers and the Tabitha t-shirt) but holy cow they were so easy and look amazing. I've never sewn clothes before, and these directions are so clear and the pictures are incredibly helpful. I just bought some more fabric to make a Tabitha dress and some Juno pajama bottoms. I definitely take longer than the pattern says, but that's because I'm going super slow and careful! Taking my time, trying to make everything nice and even -- just like the book says to do. Hooray! Recommended!
Review: Great patterns and nice tips - The patterns are layered so it is tricky to trace but otherwise it's a great deal! Not as thorough instructions as individual Tilly patterns but still very good. The Tabitha tee is so well drafted and the safiya trousers are simple and have a great fit. I wouldn't say this would be for a complete beginner to sewing. Personally I think it would be overwhelming but if you know someone who sews that could help a bit that would work!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful sewing book for ALL sewists.
*by K***. on April 20, 2020*

This is my second Tilly and The Buttons book. I purchased "Stretch" right after it came out and loved it, so I pre-ordered "Make it Simple." I absolutely adore "Make it Simple." The asthetic and the content are both lovely. The written directions and pictures make it all very clear for how to cut out and assemble your project. It helps you choose your fabric, make simple adjustments and sew it together. It's full of quick projects that's sewists of all levels will enjoy. If you're just starting out with garment making, the book goes over sewing terms and quick tips to help you be successful. I can't reccomend this book enough.
