They should let a lot of sewists do their covers for them, too.

I hope they make patterns that reflect different sizes - not just provide one dress pattern in all the sizes that only looks good in the smaller sizes...Then again, who cares? Colette and Sewaholic look good on a wider range of women, and I prefer to give my money to indie pattern makers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02500490363731355974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5632968705353660086.post-69910081196023344962012-06-22T20:41:53.802+01:002012-06-22T20:41:53.802+01:00exactly.

Remember a little while ago when one of the Big Four (I can't remember which one) did some sort of sew-a-long with a few sewing bloggers where they sent them a pattern and had them make it up and reveal it on different days? At the time I wondered if they were trying to copy the sew-a-longs that the indies do.Camelia Crinolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13255747263262874628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5632968705353660086.post-69990669668496658112012-06-21T23:01:58.893+01:002012-06-21T23:01:58.893+01:00I think McCalls esp needed to do something with th...I think McCalls esp needed to do something with their sizing. I recently made McCalls 6319, no problems at all, fit like a glove - NICE! Then moved onto McCalls 6519, what a shocker! Cut same size but material barely stretched over my rump. If indie's like Colette make the Big 4 adjust the sizes, particularly in the laughable B-cups they draft as standard, I'm all for it!Red Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15031830700720554792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5632968705353660086.post-30611175732979207132012-06-21T01:56:25.500+01:002012-06-21T01:56:25.500+01:00Interesting.

Perhaps its the pattern making company getting on board with savvy home sewists who want to do more than just reproduce the garment on the cover of the pattern. Which, I think, is something that Indie pattern designers have been hip to all along. Busty babes such as myself can only hope that McCalls, Butterick, and Vogue take a cue from Simplicity's Amazing Fit patterns as well so we don't have to keep doing FBAs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5632968705353660086.post-25785737422233480862012-06-20T09:12:57.807+01:002012-06-20T09:12:57.807+01:00I truly wish that our beloved indies have the Big ...I truly wish that our beloved indies have the Big 4 quaking in their boots.
