 what they are thinking with that amount of ease and honestly I wondered how others are faring since I do see a lot of Simplicity being made up with outstanding fit success. They must be seriously sizing down but forgetting to mention that 🙂 I read Mimi G.’s bio and she describes how she initially debated (and won for her pattern line) against adding so much ease.

This is why you (general you) really should flat-pattern measure. In other words, learn your preferred ease in knits and wovens and then measure the tissue/paper to see where it differs and adjust accordingly.

I understand, but … really … you’re only going to get the fit shown in the photographs if you’re the model shown in the photographs. 🙂 Which is true for any pattern or RTW item.

Personally, I don’t trust (not sure if trust is the right word here) any pattern, indie or Big 4/5, so I always either flat-pattern measure or lay a TNT over the new pattern to compare. It takes only a few minutes and is never a waste of time.

I agree, the back is very pretty! Wasting time and $$$$ on a garment that fits that badly is very discouraging, and I wonder how many beginning sewing enthusiasts give up after a few of those. I’ve seen it happen time and time again.

Pattern Drafting: Right now I’m struggling with a toile for a jacket and have a strong suspicion that it’s drafted badly. This evening I’m posting it on YouTube to get other opinions because I just don’t know if my body is wrong, or the drafting is bad. We shouldn’t have to question that when we buy a pattern.

Simplicity Patterns: I was thumbing through the Early Fall book the other day and saw a Maple Leaf on several of the patterns. I’m wondering if they’re planning to make a move back to Canada now that they’re affiliated with the Massive 4?

Oh dear! I don’t think it’s your body that is wrong for the pattern – definitely sounds like the pattern itself has raised some red flags for you! Hope the sewing community can give you some good answers!

I’m fascinated by the maple leaf thing – very curious to see what happens next!
