Size Guide
Choosing the right size is essential for making sure your sewing project turns out exactly as you imagined. Our sewing patterns are thoughtfully designed with comfort, fit, and style in mind, but the key to success is selecting the size that matches your body measurements.
Use this sewing size guide to measure yourself accurately and pick the perfect size for your next project!
How to Measure for Sewing Patterns
Take Your Measurements. To get the most accurate fit, you'll need to take your measurements. Use a soft measuring tape to measure the following:
- Bust: Around the fullest part of your bust, under the arms.
- Waist: At the natural waistline, typically just above the belly button.
- Hip: Around the fullest part of your hips, about 8 inches below your natural waist.
- Bust Point to Waist: From the bust apex to the waistline, for more precise fitting.
- Height: If you are concerned about length, especially for dresses or pants, knowing your height can help with adjustments.
Compare Your Measurements with the Size Chart
Once you've measured yourself, compare your measurements with the size chart provided with each pattern. My patterns include bust, waist, and hip measurements to guide you. If your measurements fall between two sizes, I recommend selecting the larger size for comfort or adjusting the pattern accordingly.

Important Notes on Fit
-
Loose Fit: Most of my patterns are designed with a relaxed, comfortable fit in mind. If you prefer a looser or more forgiving fit, feel free to select your usual size.
-
Fitted Styles: For more fitted styles, I recommend going one size down for a more tailored look.
-
Adjusting Length: If you're shorter or taller than the standard measurements, you may need to adjust the length of your pattern. Consider adding or removing length at the hem or bust for a better fit.
