    Excellent patterns

    I’ve purchased three different patterns and already made two skirts and a jacket. The patterns are easy to follow and the sizes correspond to the measurements indicated in the size guide. I love all the pieces I’ve made so far, and I can’t stop wearing them. I highly recommend the Designer.

    Super easy and flattering pattern with so many variations

    I bought this pattern a few weeks ago and have already made two pairs of trousers. My first pair was directly as the pattern shows, the second pair removed the pleats and made a tapered leg. The side closing is wonderful and I may make all trousers using this in the future.

    I do think the pattern runs a bit big. That is actually easily fixed by taking in that the bum seam before putting on the waistband.

    The perfect pair of shorts?

    I absolutely love this pattern. I’ve made three pairs of shorts already and will try the pants soon. Great instructions, These will definitely be a wardrobe staple for me.

    Fabulous!

    I'm a fairly new sewist and have now made 2 pairs of Flint shorts in practise for my first real pair of pants! My waist (14) and hip (12) measurements put me into 2 different sizes, so I attempted the grade the first pair...they actually fit like a glove, although, I felt I wanted to have more ease (camouflage!) around my belly, so made the second in the larger size with no adjustments. Also a great fit with the extra ease. Long story short, I now know what to do with the pants, and have 2 great pairs of shorts that I can actually wear in public! This pattern comes together like a dream...very easy to follow instructions, and the pattern pieces fit together perfectly! In both cases, I used cotton fabric leftover from other projects, so, this is an easy scrap buster also. Used denim for the pockets on one pair which added a pretty cool design element to this already cool design!
