If it's any consolation most of us who sew regularly *hate* patterns. I have never yet bought one that didn't need extensive redrafting and much prefer starting from scratch or using patterns taken from actual historic examples. My personal opinion is the people who draft a lot of the paterns sold don't understand historic clothing and therfore miss the obvious on how they were made.
