Like any shop bought garment you buy , sewing patterns will differ in fit and size. There is a huge range of new independent patterns available and they are not cheap. My biggest hate is seeing people cut their patterns. This is lazy and downright wasteful, you will not be able to reuse it if you want to use another size. It is so easy to trace them out.

The other things that annoy me are patterns trying to reinvent the wheel by using new terminology, lack of seam allowances and only giving the options of using a zig zag or overlocker for a seam finish. WHY!!! My favourite seam finish is a "French Seam" is strong, neat and easy to do when you know how.
