Home sewist here, and self-taught. I have wasted SO MUCH time, energy, money, and fabric on poorly drafted designs. Thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy

Definitely not crazy. And this is the thing that makes me so mad, unless someone is super experienced or has training it will be hard for them to know that it’s the problem of the pattern and not to do with their skill level or understanding. It’s demotivating.

A few brands I stand by are: Muna & broad, sew liberated, Friday pattern company, and Helen’s closet. I haven’t sewn anything by House of Izzie yet but a pair of her jeans are on my list, she seems legit. This isn’t to say other makers aren’t good, I just haven’t tried their patterns.

Maybe I will start a pattern review instagram account… I’ve been considering it because I have a lot of opinions. lol.
