Sizing

All of our patterns are currently drafted for UK sizes 6–20 and we are in the process of updating designs to have a second size range from UK 16–28. The 6–20 size range is based on a roughly hourglass figure; the 16–28 range shifts slightly towards a pear shape. If you are in sizes 16–20 you can choose which of the two size ranges you prefer. Across all sizes the patterns have been drafted for a B-cup and an average height of 5 ft 6.

The measurements for each size are listed below, as well as in the instructions for each individual pattern. Bust measurements are taken across the widest part of the bust, without dipping in the centre. Waist measurements are taken just below the rib cage (where your hands go if you’re putting them ‘on your hips’!). Hip measurements are taken at the widest part, approximately 8 inches down from the waist.

The Bees are back in town! Did you catch the first The Bees are back in town! Did you catch the first episode of the new season Sewing Bee last night? We were so excited to see the contestants sewing a Camden-like skirt in the very first round! Those minis were amazing, such a great start to the season! And what better excuse to share this Camden Skirt @laura.sews.style made 💜 We love the 70s feel Laura created by pairing the skirt with the new waistcoat pattern from @newcrafthouse (and yes, this outfit is so good they've shared it too!)
