Jasmine, I'm also in a wheelchair. I like the Textile Studio and Loes Hinse patterns as they are easy to sew and have a variety of styles. Also they are multiple sizes in each pattern. Go to either www.textilestudiopatterns.com or www.loeshinse.com. Loes Hinse used to design for Textile Studio and their clothes have a nice professional look without all of the fuss. Hope this helps. Happy Stitching! Marty
It takes one moment to change a life.

http://www.mccall.com/ This site offers McCall's Butterick, and Vogue, all in one. You can click on an image to view and read the info on the back of the pattern packages. I've had no trouble determining what kind of construction would be involved, or even what kind of materials I'd need to buy in advance. Andrea
