We're currently beavering away behind the scenes working on a new size band for our sewing patterns, which will both cater for a larger bust and go up to a UK size 34. We are looking for sewists to beta test the new patterns and help us tweak the fit for a range of shapes and sizes. We are particularly keen to hear from people from outside of our current size range - sizes UK 26 to 34 (US 22 to 30 / EUR  54 to 62) - and those of you across the size range with bigger boobs.

The body measurements for the top and bottom sizes in the range are the following:
UK16: Full bust: 106.5cm (42in); Waist: 89cm (35in); Hips: 109cm (43in)
UK34: Full bust: 152.5cm (60in); Waist: 134.5cm (53in); Hips: 155cm (61in)

You will be expected to sew one or more patterns to a deadline, check how the pattern pieces come together, look out for any formatting errors, and send us photos of the finished garment(s) on you (for our eyes only!). For new designs, you will also need to provide feedback on the clarity of the instructions.

In return for your feedback, you will receive a stipend towards fabric and supplies, a copy of the finished pattern, plus another TATB sewing pattern of your choice. Sewists of all levels are welcome to apply, and you do NOT need to have a large social media following or to share your finished make with others.

If you would like to be considered for pattern testing, please complete the following short questionnaire by Tuesday16th February 2021. We can only take on a certain amount of sewists for each pattern test so please don't be disappointed if you don't get selected this time as there may be other opportunities to test our patterns in the future!

Thank you so much for your time,
