The body measurement chart for the Building Block Dress pattern is found on page 40 of the book in the lower left corner of the page.

We have also added it to the website’s product page for the book now.

@krisherber the body measurements for the basis pattern are given on page 40 of the book in the lower left corner of the page.

Oh, this is amazing! Thank you so much, @timpson! @Robin, if you have a chance to look for it, I’m very interested in it. I’ve been told it’s a knit, but it doesn’t really look like it in the photo, does it?

I’m glad to hear that, @thesimpson5! I’m hoping that we’ll be able to make an announcement about a women’s book very soon. Keep your fingers crossed!

I was just thinking the same thing, @lightningmcstitch! We need to stop this!

I’m glad you’re here, @melissamlb42! I’ll be curious to hear what other members of the forum have to say, but I’d probably steer you toward the Woodland Stroll Cape or the Weekend Getaway Blouse next. Both of them are quite simple and straightforward but will challenge your skills to develop a little bit. And I think they both have a certain…[Read more]

Body measurements are the same as they are for all our patterns since we use a standard sizing method. So check any of your patterns, and the book will be the same.

I hope it helps! Glad you’re here.

Also, can I just say how astonishing it is that we’re on page 400 of this thread, with nearly 6,000 comments? How wonderful that this community is so active!

That will be cute, @crb73! Are you familiar with the piping tutorial for that pattern? It’s right here:
