Time to slow down and take it easy with our relaxed Darby and Joan bundle! In this discounted bundle you will received two smart but casual looking patterns that complement each other so nicely that you will want to make them in every colour of the rainbow!
Joan’s overall shape is square with a featured V at the neck and extended shoulder line that finishes with a band at the cuff. To finish off Joan has a dipped back hemline and sits high on the hip with lovely wide hem facings. To compliment Joan, we designed Darby with its wide 7/8th leg that is semi fitted on the hip and comfy elastic waist to get you through a long day! Everyone loves a pocket so added some beautiful patch pockets to complete the look!

Loved making these two pieces. The patterns are easy and the fit of the pants was perfect. The top was a bit big but easy cut down. I’m really pleased with the results. I will be sewing the pants over and over again,

I have just finished the 4th Joan top. Great top to wear with elastic waist pants.
I traced a size 10 a size smaller than I would normally use and raised the V neck an inch and a half. This was wearable but a bit big around the neck and shoulders, traced an 8 for the neck and shoulder, graded out to a 10 below the armhole. This is perfect. I have made the Joan top 3 times in Linen and once in Double Cotton Gauze The Darby pants are great fit, I traced a size 12 and didn’t make any alterations to the pattern. Next time I will fold the pocket edges in a tiny bit more, my hands only just reach the bottom of the pocket, that is the only change I would make to the pattern. I made these pants in a slightly crinkled finish cotton, 160gsm weight.

How Do I Know What Size I Am?
Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.
When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:
A. Shoulder Breadth
Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.
B. Upper Arm Girth
This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.
C. Bust
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.
D. Waist
This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.
E. Hip
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
