Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my sewing pattern size?
Measure your bust, waist, and hips at the fullest points. Compare to the pattern size chart. For tops, match your bust. For skirts and pants, match your hip measurement.
What is ease in sewing?
Ease is extra room built into a pattern beyond your body measurements. Wearing ease allows movement. Design ease creates the style silhouette.
What if I am between pattern sizes?
Cut the larger size and adjust fit during construction. You can also grade between sizes, cutting one size at the bust and another at the hip.
