Okay, obviously I can sew with it, but I really can't seem to get the sizing right. I don't know if it's the fabric I'm using(wool it always comes out too big, fleece almost runs a bit small) or what the deal is. I can use the longies pattern just fine, the board shorts I made that I have pictured here are from that pattern(I just added the middle crotch gusset)

It's bugging me, because now I've made 2 wool soakers from the Katrina pattern that really don't fit right now. And I have another sweater body waiting to be used, but I'd like to make sure I make one that fits, KWIM?

The last Katrina soaker I made, I used the "improved" pattern. Do I need to use the original, or maybe size down since I'm using wool?

I have only used fleece ~ and the only time I had a problem with sizing was on my first one when the "stretch" went the wrong way.
Hopefully, someone can help you.
