Pattern Talk

Making your own clothes is one of the most satisfying things about stitching – being pintsized (that’s 5ft 1in, for those that work in imperial) making skirts that don’t swamp me, dresses that don’t drown me and trousers that don’t leave me looking like a clown, is a huge plus. If you aren’t designing your own garments, you’ll be working with a sewing pattern and, let’s be honest, these can be rather daunting!

While I can’t help you choose a specific pattern for your dream dress, I can share a few pointers that I use when picking out a sewing pattern. Check out my guest post over at Abakhan for hints & tips on understanding the information on a sewing pattern envelope and how to use this to help you select your next dressmaking project.
