It has taken me all morning to set up this blog, so I hope it works.

If you have visited my fb page you will know I am trying to make a jacket.  However I fell at the first hurdle - the pattern sizing.   I bought the pattern on the internet having seen it on a dummy at a show.  I wear UK size 16 on my top and the pattern was for 36-44!!  Even after checking online with the company I could not find out what these sizes were.  Luckily I made up a muslin copy in size 40 (thinking it was my bust size) to check for sizing and found it was 4 inches too small and even size 44 would not have fitted!!!

So I have reverted to another pattern which I had already but not used and does tell me the UK sizes on the outside and looks right.

I will let you know how it goes.
