Whether we’re pulling a pattern directly from the archive or recreating from a former pattern illustration, we adapt the design to modern size charts for that brand. It’s helpful to remember, wearing ease for vintage style garments is different to modern styles as clothing was designed to be more close-fitting in the past, and you’ll see this when you compare the body and finished measurements of the patterns. The step-by-step techniques are unchanged so you experience sewing the pattern as it was originally designed. What else do Simplicity produce?

Such programs cemented Simplicity as the key source for learning to sew and set the foundation for how sewing is taught today.
