Do you have a favourite sewing pattern?

As I embark on my 5th pair of Megan Nielsen Flint trousers (while wearing my third) I wondered if anyone else has a pattern they love so much they make multiples of it and wear them all the time?

The Lisette Traveler shirt dress is pretty cool too- I have done a couple of those.

I am large of Nork so I was surprised the Jalie tshirt worked out well. I did size for my chest, and made sure the fabric had the required stretch. The overlap is pretty generous, and the last step is to sew the mock wrap down, so you put on the tshirt, pin the wrap in place and sew it down like that (if you see what I mean)

That’s really helpful, thank you.

@TheCountessofFitzdotterel I’m about 170cm tall and very apple shaped and overweight so not the slightest bit willowy. I think it’s a Dutch company and they do tend towards tallness though so I would recommend checking the depth of the v-neck on you before cutting as you might need to raise it a bit.

Found a picture of the Jalie tshirt - that was cut at a Jalie size X.

Gorgeous! If anything it looks better than the ones on the models.
I love your choice of fabric too.
