It’s about an inch above my natural waist.

So how high is the waist?

At your belly button? Less than an inch above? More than an inch above?

[...] recently finished these High Waisted Pants from Simplicity 4886. I’ve made this pattern twice before, both in capri length. I used cotton/polyester, interfaced the waistband, and inserted an invisible [...]

Karin, for now it’s whole numbers but I’ll definitely be keeping what you said in mind and I’ll revise the functionality you requested. I’ll let you know when I update the app.

Super pretty dress, it totally makes me want to sew one for myself. I have a very similar pattern from McCalls that I love but haven’t tried yet. I think I need a functioning dress-form to tackle the sizing-issues I’ve had with vintage patterns. I’ll soon have one.
I love the choice of fabric, it suits you and the dress shape perfectly.

Really nice pants, and actually totally modern! And retro, of course

Hi! Thankyou so much for crating a fabulous app and sharing it!
just downloaded it and have a question and a wish…
The question: It seems like ou can only add whole yards when you convert the yardage and calculate the price of fabric? It’d be great to be able to add f.ex 1,2 instead of 1. In the metric/yard-converter it works fine! I will use that feature a lot, I’m all metric…
My wish is a metric converter from inches to metric (meters, or centimeters, or even to millimeters, any of them would work) so that us metric people can check in the yardage-table on the pattern envelope to see which fabric width is the closest to the one we’d like to buy, and check how wide the modern fabric is in inches. It’s all in inches there, and I’m totally lost.
I love the design of it, btw, very modern retro!
