Ever walked into this I needed a skirt pattern so once I printed it, I just took straight edge rulers, and made a straight line to make an a line skirt worked out perfect!

Hi Jeorjette, we're thrilled to hear how well the Zinnia pattern worked out for you! Thanks for sharing your success.

Fabric yardage/Meters

The fabric yardage/meterage seems a bit wrong. On the size 2-18 the fabric quoted for size 18 is 45" wide 6.64 yrd 60" wide 4.6 yrd.
But for the 18-32 it is suggesting for the size 18 45" wide 3.34 yrd 60" wide 2.33yrd. Could anyone explain to me why that is such a vast difference for basically the same size dress just using the larger pattern download. I think you might need to change the yardage on the pattern info as I could have bought too little fabric if I hadn't noticed it.

Hi Sarah, thank you for your detailed feedback.
The difference is the way the pieces are arranged in the pattern marker file which is why the regular size 18 takes more yardage vs the size 18 on the extended size.

Great Jacket

Easy to understand instructions and pattern. Printed out perfectly! Sewing the jacket scrappy with each section a different fabric and the binding also scrappy. Making the jackets for Christmas gifts for family.

Hi Ruth! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the pattern and instructions. Your scrappy jackets for Christmas gifts sound wonderful—happy sewing! Thanks for sharing your experience.

Really cute set, but the shorts are perfection!

Ok, I haven’t made the top yet, but these are the cutest & best fitting shorts I have made. This was my first Winslet pattern & it exceeded my expectations!

Hi Rachel! We're thrilled to hear you love the shorts and that your first Winslet's pattern exceeded expectations. Can't wait to see the top when you get to it. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Beautiful pattern. Easy instructions

This is the first swimsuit I attempted and it was really easy and fun to do. I even had one wrist in a cast. Highly suggest it
