What TRUE Inclusive Sizing Actually Looks Like in Knit & Crochet Design - with Kim McBrien Evans of Indigo Dragonfly

When I approached Kim McBrien Evans of Indigo Dragonfly about being a guest on the Pattern Design Circle Podcast, she said, "Let's talk size inclusivity and what TRUE size inclusivity looks like!"Kim wears many hats, as a knitwear designer, yarn dyer, teacher, and passionate advocate for inclusive sizing.She shares, "I believe that size inclusivity and good fit work best as a partnership between the maker and the designer. The designer's role is to understand how body proportions work and how they interact with clothing. The maker's role is to understand how their body is unique, and how their proportions may not match the pattern they wish to make. As designers we can start by observing bodies in clothing, and using that visual information to teach us how clothes and bodies interact at any size.  As makers, the more we learn about our bodies and how we like our clothing to fit, the stronger our partnership with our favourite designers becomes."I can't wait for you to dive into this episode, where we start from the basics of what inclusive sizing even means and dig into the practical applications for knit and crochet pattern designers like you and me.
