We've added another indie pattern brand to the website this week, Tessuti Patterns, and I am so excited to share them with you. Co created by Colette Guanta, owner of Tessuti Fabrics in Australia, and her mother Silva who has over 50 years industry experience you can see the passion and expertise oozing out of these beautiful, contemporary yet classic designs. You can find the sewing patterns and fabrics I mentioned linked in the description below.
There are 43 designs to choose from on our site including tops, shorts, trousers, jackets, coats and more.
The patterns are chic and simple sprinkled with interesting little sewing details making for fun sewing and wearing. These pieces are the wardrobe workhorses you will be reaching for in your handmade wardrobe for many years to come thanks to their timeless style.
I've picked out my favourite designs and the fabrics you could use to make them with. Some of the designs are very summery, but if you're not ready to sew for spring and summer yet do check out the full range on our site where you'll find lots of jackets, coats and warmer pieces. I'm am 100% ready to sew for the weather I want and start planning that spring summer wardrobe!

You have given me a new appreciation of Tessuti patterns. I am in Australia and have walked passed them many times. Now I will give them a second look.

[@amierikke6225]

Love the style esthetic of This pattern line but wish they came in a wider size range.

[@curveappeal8180]

I love coming to your channel and discovering pattern brands that I never would’ve known about otherwise 😊

[@gaynormainwaring1853]

Agree with others, the Lois dress is lovely but very low neckline.

[@michaelgracewatts2943]

Great choice of fabric and patterns again. Thank you Lucy...Grace

[@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668]

Love Tessuti patterns, cannot stop making the Harlow Shirt, such a versatile piece 💕

[@joannadavis6716]

Lucy I love your channel. I have been sewing since I was 11, now 78. Still love to sew for myself. However my arms leave a lot to be desired, so I look for sleeve patterns that cover the arm issue. I have 10 tubs of lovely fabric and getting ready to go through my tubs and donate to the sewing guild. Love the sweat shirt pattern. Slimming for granny here.

[@jennetthamilton971]

I agree with you about sleeves. I also started sewing at 11 and am almost 65. I think sewing for ourselves keeps us from looking frumpy! And I love the sweatshirt.

[@ladysusan8134]

Hello, I have been sewing since I was 5 now I am 75 and still sewing. I agree sewing for yourself keeps you from looking frumpy. I understand about the arm issues . Don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t sew…love Tessuti patterns🇦🇺🐨

[@EileenMilan-pt8jc]

Love all of these patterns. Thank you Lucy

[@emmabuxton7971]

Love the patterns. Thanks Lucy. Brill video as always 😊

[@annebrown886]

Tussiti patterns have been a favourite of mine since I found them 5 years ago, the garments I’ve made I’ve worn loads of times. The instructions are so clear and easy to follow with photographs alongside x

[@SewMyTime]

Love Tessuti patterns. Made quite a few and never had a fail. Expensive but they are worth every penny.

[@ceciliaf1592]

I have made the Bondi dress in a viscose fabric with a large print. It was a perfect sew. I then hacked the pattern into a top with sleeves from another pattern. The back detail is lovely on any top. To add sleeves I just extended the shoulders on the front and back pieces. A fairly easy hack. Great patterns from Tessuti!

[@susanstewart1402]

I really look forward to your videos. Your choices of fabric and patterns are inspirational. These patterns have proper manufacturers' details that elevate the look. Very nice.

[@SewEssential]

Thanks Susan I'm so glad you like them, thank you for watching and commenting. Yes I really want to try these too, they look great.

[@estellelandman2182]

I love your videos, they make me want to jump up and get sewing! And your choice of fabrics is spot on.Pity we cannot get the patterns in South Africa. Regards Estelle

[@nedita9475]

Love Tessuti patterns! I made the Lois dress and skipped the zipper, not needed!

[@SewEssential]

So glad you like them and great tip, thanks!

[@thebrumstitcher495]

Never really looked at their patterns before, I love the dresses! Thank you Lucy, must add them to my patterns to buy list x x

[@raquelseydewitz491]

Love all your choices! I might have to pick up a few!😊

[@pinkpaulasews4929]

I love the look of the Louis dress- would look fab on you ❤

[@SewEssential]

I absolutely love that one too and I really hope I get around to making it.

[@sueprice4082]

I have made the Lois dress twice and if you use a stretch fabric then you don’t need the zip x

[@jenniferchaplin5360]

Nice patterns but I'd like to see some with sleeves for those of us who don't show our arms!

[@SewEssential]

Check out the full range on our website, there are lots of designs with sleeves here www.sewessential.co.uk/sewing-patterns/shop-sewing-patterns-by-brand/indie-sewing-patterns?brand=6303

[@hayleypriddey9572]

I love your videos & look forward to seeing your outfit as much as the video content! I love the dress you’re wearing in this vid, can you tell me which pattern you used for that please? 🙏🏻

[@azsuncraft1942]

Oh the sewing plans I have! What pattern did you use for the other "more involved" shorts that you mentioned?

[@mailmy7579]

In love with the Lois Dress😮 is this pattern available in pdf version? Thanks for this video, very inspirating

[@janedavies2898]

Love the look of the Lois but how would you do an FBA on that style?

[@viddy8379]

Love the Tessutti Lois dress. might have to make the V a bit higher for me. Or Lace insert. Can you tell me what you are wearing and the lovely cardigan including fabric?

[@SewEssential]

Yes it's gorgeous. Yes I am wearing this pattern, which is a favourite jersey wrap dress pattern for me: www.sewessential.co.uk/misses-easy-knit-dress-tunic-trousers-new-look-pattern-6581 and the fabric is here www.sewessential.co.uk/abstract-print-cotton-jersey-fabric-multi we have just ordered more in, but there will only be 2m I think. The cardigan is a ready to wear knit from & Other Stories

[@Honeybun263]

I have to ask. Is your sweater a pattern that you sell or did you buy it? I love it. I also like the fabric and color

[@miriamgladen9615]

Dear Lucy, I love the fabric of your dress very much. And if it's viscose I even bought it one or two years ago from your shop. For making a dress for myself. But how do you made the markings on this fabric stay? What did you use for drawing sewing lines, darts etc? My chalk just doesn't stay. From marking to putting the fabric under the sewing machine it's gone. Thanks for answering.

[@gaynormainwaring1853]

I’d say heat erasable pen or good old-fashioned tailor tacks.

[@miriamgladen9615]

@@gaynormainwaring1853 thank you for your tip

[@victoriaconstantine-cort3091]

xXXX👍👍👍

[@Yahoo1339]

Is there a basic t shirt pattern

[@rosey_ie]

Tessuti have some lovely patterns, such a shame their size range is so uninclusive.

[@cathtaylor2771]

Lovely designs, but not very good for size inclusiveness

[@pennysews009]

Sadly not particularly size inclusive. 😕
