Customer Questions and Answers
Hi. I have a few questions about the Abbey capsule patterns. I fall into the Size 4 category, but I'm just 5" 1and 3/4." Would it be possible to size these patterns down to a very petite length? Also, should I choose the pattern size to buy based on the finished garment size or the cut size? I prefer to wear more form fitting clothes; I'm inclined to choose a size 2. Would that be appropriate? Thank you for taking the time to answer.
Hello, Yes these patterns can be lengthened and shortened for a range of heights. As for choosing your best size, please see our helpful article in our help center, or contact us directly with your body measurements and our in-house seamstress can help you find your best size.
i live in Chile, so i ask if can i buy just de pattern in pdf
Hello, Unfortunately our patterns are only available in the paper format at this time.
I wanted this pattern specifically for the wrap top. When first I got the pattern out, I looked at the pattern pieces and thought this would be really challenging. Thanks to the guide booklet that came with the pattern, however, the top went together without a hitch. I used the midweight linen for the top, but cut the bias binding from some tropical print challis from my stash. The assembly was much easier than I anticipated thanks to the carefully drafted pattern.
I was looking for a good-looking unisex pants pattern and this fit perfectly! The drape on these pants is very fashionable. I used IL020 Black for maximum comfort. These are the perfect pandemic pants - comfy stylish loungewear that functions equally well as both pajamas and wearing out to dinner, once that becomes a thing again. Move over, frumpy sweatpants!

One garment that came to mind that would serve as the ideal foundation to build a layer-able, breastfeed-able look was the Abbey cardigan. I chose the longest length with short sleeves and the braided wrap belt. Sure, I could have saved a little time by making the flat belt, but what type of last minute sewist with the clock ticking away would I be if I didn't choose the slightly more labor intensive option? Besides, I work more efficiently under pressure.
