Awful!

Reviewed by Kilcookie on 8th July, 2020

I’m a competent sewer – I know how to make a pair of trousers, but to get the perfect finish I like to follow the instructions and cut of a pattern. The instructions that come with this pattern are nigh on impossible to follow, as they’ve used fabric that’s completely impossible to make sense of (highly patterned). I worked things out for myself, but the fit is truly awful – I am normally a size 10, but with SOI’s measurements I came up a 12. These are like clown pants. I’m so disappointed. Yes – I should have made a toile, but from such a popular company I expected better.

The only plus was that the pattern was cheaper by joining SOI’s PDF club which gets you access to more of their patterns – not sure i’ll be using them however!
