So annoying about the sizing though. Loads of folk seem to complain about excess ease in "Big 4" patterns which puts me off using them. What's the point of including measurements if they don't correspond with the size, grrr! Anyway, I was going to suggest measuring the flat pattern pieces but I see Sew In Brighton got there before me!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07922950133889230965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491778193889232162.post-20353296985568262132015-12-31T04:30:01.907-08:002015-12-31T04:30:01.907-08:00That's so odd about the sizing.
