   I really love this skirt. It is easy and elegant however I think the zip needs to be in the cent back. I have a two size difference between my hip and my waist measurement. This makes the side seam very curved and therefore difficult to get the zip in neatly and without puckering.

   My 3rd #blackwoodcardigan in French navy from @maaidesign . I bought a remnant with matching ribbing. Their wasn’t enough French terry for the whole cardi however the ribbing was such a beautiful colour match & quality that I used it for the bottom piece & cuffs ( to pull it together). The skirt is #canterburyskirt from @stylearc in a liberty rayon. #sewistsofinstagram #sewover50 #sewcialists #memadeeveryday #memadewardrobe2019 #australiasews #libertyfabrics #stylearcpatterns #helensclosetpatterns #stylearcwardrobe

   Lovely pattern, it’s fitted in the waist so I needed to make a size up. I used a liberty rayon which gives it a nice drape. Next time I’ll make it just a bit longer.

   A great pattern which is easy to sew. I made it out of a denim-look cupro and it hangs well and goes well with T-shirts. I will make another out of rayon.

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
