At Rag Merchant we know
that many quilters have quit sewing clothes for themselves
because of fitting problems. That’s why we give
you: Charts of Finished
Measurements
A sewer knows the finished measurements of the critical
measuring points of a garment before cutting and sewing.
Illustrated Directions
Step-by-step diagrams show entire garment assembly and
finished garment – front and back.
Full-size patterns
Ready to use, simplified pattern pieces accompany each
pattern packet. No tracing required.
Multiple sizes in one packet
We know that not everyone is the same size on the top
and bottom. Giving all sizes in one pattern packet gives
the sewer greater flexibility in fitting herself.
Style
Rag Merchant patterns are designed to flatter the adult
female figure. We plan our design to cover figure flaws.
We design Rag Merchant patterns for real people
