Don’t be fooled by this PDF style pattern!

A review of Simplicity Jumpsuit SP108

Reviewed by margaret brown on 24th July, 2022

Firstly I would say that I LOVE a good pdf pattern and the page matching jigsaw which goes along with it.  This is by far the worst I have attempted.  It is NOT a pdf pattern it is a Simplicity old style tissue paper pattern which they have just put into a printable format.  This means you need to print 103 pages, half of which you later discard because they aren’t your size range.  There is no option to print only the sizing you need.

I normally grade between a size 14, with a 16 at the waist and because of the ‘split’ of size ranges, with small up to 14 and bigger starting at 16, it has been a nightmare to try and work out.  I would NOT recommend and if it was possible to give a zero star rating I would.

Simplicity need to get their act together as the independent pattern companies are much better at producing their patterns in this format.

Foldline, I think these patterns should come with a warning about the number of pages which need printing, luckily I’ve got a newish printer with a subscription service but I do hate waste!
