What size to sew?

So, any chance we might see you on Project Runway someday?

Ready to wear sizing is very different than pattern sewing

I purchase & wear a size 4 garments but I sew a pattern size 12 in most things. You'll need to check the pattern envelope and see where your hip measurements fit

Hi all. How kind that you all asked. My surgery was 3.5 weeks ago and unfortunately I'm having a lot of pain and can't sit upright to sew. It is super annoying. I've got some patterns prepped...My problem is that I'm not sure I want to actually cut anything out until I'm further along in my weight loss. I am a perfectionist about sewing - even when I try not to be - so it would be like me to put in a bunch of hours on something and then have it not fit...since I won't be able to do a proper fitting for a long time. I DO have some amazing Missoni knit that I can make into a long cardigan though. Just need to get on the other side of this incision pain......best to all!
