Very useful review. Thank you. It’s VERY cropped, isn’t it😬. I do find a lot of patterns have huge cuffs. and this is on shirts, bombers, long sleeve stretch tops. I most always end up drastically reducing the size. But there does seem to be something very wrong here. I have really wanted to like this pattern book, but am seeing too many problematic reviews. PS I think you are very brave to think of attempting the jump suit. I can’t even imagine the scope for pattern problems there.
Thanks for the review Sam. It looks like there wasn’t much pattern testing for this book. I’m definitely not buying it. I have made a couple of patterns from the other sewing bee books though.
Thanks for watching Ruth, yes I've made a couple of thing from the other books too. I'll see how the jumpsuit turns out before I chuck in the towel with this one 🤣
So disappointing that the book for such a great and popular series couldn't have been better edited. It seems to me that the length of the zip was a 7 misread as a 1 and no one picked it up. The jacket that the female model in the book was wearing didn't look anywhere near as cropped as yours. Such a shame. Nevermind there is always a next project. 😉👍
A learning experience if nothing else then Sam!! 👍🏴
Every day's a learning day with sewing Mags 🤣
Thank you for this review. I just cut this jacket out for my son and I will definitely keep your review in mind as I make his.
Glad you found it useful, hope that you don't face the same problems that I did 😊

You're welcome, it is very cropped! I should have realised with the cuffs too but I thought it best to give others a heads up. 😊

I know Judith, it's a real shame. Never mind you live & learn 😊
