Yesterday, I came across a new-to-me sewing pattern source - smartPATTERN - have you heard of it?
Mostly they offer jeans patterns. So many styles of jeans. I need new jeans. I was looking for a barrel leg shape, and theirs is intriguing.
Notice it's "made-to-measure". Like a couple of other sites I'm aware of, you input key body measurements before clicking "buy". But that's not all. You also go through a series of menus that literally customize the pattern to your preferences, as well as sizing it for your body.
Do you want that waistband up high or low? How much ease do you want in the crotch? How much oomph do you want in the barrel shaping? How should the barrel shaping be accomplished (side panels, darts at the knees, darts at the hem, or any combination of these)? Do you want them full length or cropped? What about the back yoke shape? The pockets? Zipper or button fly? The questions are numerous.
So interesting!
I clicked to buy (will detail my styling choices later) and as I write, my order is still processing.
Stay tuned.
Oh yeah, no promises I'll blog regularly, but there is so little information in English about this German pattern purveyor, that I want feedback. Who is still reading this?
I’ll look forward to learning what you think. And no, I’m not familiar with this source at all. How did you find it?
