I had the size:me’d pattern for making these. I did this as with trousers it is all about the fit and I am quite short. Standard patterns always have to be fiddled with – which I hate doing (#lazysewer) The written instructions were easy to follow. However, there is a tutorial which Donna presents brilliantly as she is a great teacher/explainer. If you’re buying the made to measure patterns, you MUST follow the tutorial on how to complete the measuring DON’T wing it.

I really love these trousers! I bought the standard pattern and made them according to my measurements. They are a definite statement which I like a lot. I found the instructions straightforward and will make again

I ordered the fabric and notions from SizeMe and downloaded the pattern. I would class myself as an advanced beginner sewer. So the instructions an videos are really helpful for me. Also choosing the right fabric is is sometimes a struggle so being able to buy the fabric and notions that are perfect for the pattern is really helpful too. I love my trousers and can’t wait to wear them out. I also made the Florence blouse to go with them and I’m really pleased with the results
