In this Tuesday Techniques session why multi-size patterns are fabulous and how to pick the size or sizes that will give you the best fit.
A common mistake that many beginner dressmakers make is to start cutting out the pattern size that seems to match the name of the size they would use to buy clothes in the shops.
