Folkwear Patterns For All

January 23, 2019 11 Comments

Folkwear Patterns For All

You have asked for them . . . and Folkwear has worked on getting more patterns graded to larger sizes into the mix.  Many people are surprised by how many plus-sized patterns we have!  We have graded some patterns up, produced patterns in larger sizes, and worked to make sure everyone who sews might be able to use some Folkwear patterns.  Including patterns for women (and men) of all sizes is important to Folkwear. 

We have grouped our patterns below into patterns made in just one size (one-size-fits-all), patterns that go up to Misses Extra Large (XL or size 22-24), 2XL (or size 26-28), and 3XL (size 30-32).  Most of these are sized are according to our own grade rule, though some of the early patterns are sized according to height, or were labeled slightly differently.  

Patterns with an (*) beside the name are also sized for men, which means they have been graded up a bit farther than the misses sizes, depending on the pattern.

For a PDF version of this chart - for downloading or printing - click here.  Note: this chart is not as up-to-date at the list below.

I was going to print this out as a quick reference chart but its useless as there is no reference to measurements for each sizing group. What measurements is an XL (18) as these mean different things in Australia and othr countries outside USA. Where is your sizing chart?

There is a yardage chart link at the bottom of each pattern’s description on the pattern web page.

It’s very difficult to find size charts or see measurements. Is it possible to add a picture of the back of the envelope to the pictures you have for each pattern? I can’t tell if things are big enough so I don’t want to buy without knowing.

When you say size 18 or 22 are you talking about UK sizing or American sizing? What store are you referring to?
Is there any size chart that lists measurements for actual accuracy?

This lists Intimacies as available up to 3xl but clicking on it only offers 8-22.

You say that the alphabetical sizing for your grade rule has been fixed. In the article it says and 3XL is a size 22, in the list it says a 3XL is a size 32. Which is it????

Celine, The numerical sizing was not correct with the alphabetical sizing for our grade rule here. That has been fixed. I hope that helps! Thanks!

I don’t understand the sizing on this list of patterns at all: “XL (or size 18)”, but on your sizing chart XL = size 22-24, a huge difference. Likewise the other ranges, “2XL (or size 20)”, but on the chart 2XL = size 26-28. And “3XL (or size 22)”, but on the chart 3XL = size 30-32. So for instance if I wanted a pattern available in a size 22, am I looking for patterns available in XL or 3XL? What am I not understanding?

The models are both wearing versions of 119 Sarouelles. The orange/red are the Turkish pants, and the darker pair is the Indian version.

What pattern are the pants that the models are wearing? The orange ones and the tribal print ones?
