patterns in magazines
For those of you that get your patterns this way, do you find them true to their rating? Is easy really easy? Also, are some patterns rated more accurately in some magazines than others?
I ask because, although I consider myself a confident beginner, I found the pattern that I am making right now not quite as easy as it was rated. The directions were hard to figure out and it has a lot of matching of seams. It's not beyond me,but if someone was a real beginner, they might not find it "easy".
What do you think? I am using a McCall's magazine.
