Lynda R.
Great pattern but hem curls without proper finish

The Finch is an excellent pattern overall and the fit is genuinely impressive. I'd note that the jersey hem really needs a twin needle or coverstitch to stay flat — a standard straight stitch hem curled on me after one wash. Worth investing in a twin needle if you don't have one.

Elettra E.
Lengthened to a maxi for a more dramatic silhouette

I extended the hem to maxi length and the result is a really elegant floor-length bodycon. The skirt portion is simple to lengthen using the lengthen line. The pattern works beautifully at both lengths.

Elsa R.
Made it in textured ribbing for a different look

I experimented with a wide-rib textured jersey and the result is a completely different aesthetic from the smooth version — more relaxed and casual. The pattern translated well to a heavier knit. Love having two versions with such different personalities.

A
Allana E.
Added ruching to the hip for extra shape

As someone who likes to modify patterns, I added a small amount of gathering at the hip seam for additional shaping. The bodycon base is easy to work with and the modification looks intentional. Really happy with my custom version.

Christina N.
Made a second one before the first was even cold

I finished my first Finch on a Friday evening and started a second one in a different colour on Saturday morning. The pattern is that satisfying to sew. My second came out even better as I knew what to expect.
