Pattern Rating
1 | Boo | Save your money – drafted poorly or poor instructions |
2 | Ehh | Definitely make a muslin – if you already own it- try it, but don’t waste good fabric |
3 | Meh | Can work with modifications – worth trying to fix, but don’t depend on the instructions |
4 | Yes | Near perfect out the envelope – slight modification needed or just not for my body type |
5 | Ooh | TNT worthy – sewed up great, clear instructions, fit my body type |
