I am interested by the LaFred patterns in the latest Threads pattern review. Does anyone have any experience with this line? Are the directions easy to follow? The sizing accurate? Any other tips/suggestions/comments.
Thanks!

I have a couple of La Fred's patterns. Sewn only 1, the Thalia pants.
They are highly recommended. Excellent instructions and construction techniques. The pants fit great, the only adjustment I had was to shorten the leg length a bit. La Fred is one of the best.
I've made the Thalia pants and like them a lot, too, although in my case, I needed to lengthen the leg. I'm a fairly average sized 5'6"person, and I rarely have to lengthen pants patterns, so check first before cutting!
I've also made her Athena Blouse, in linen as an unlined jacket. I love that pattern--it's flattering on so many figure types and has wonderful instructions, plus these interesting square-inset armscyes.
