Nothing is missing in the file. You just need to find all the pieces with the same letter-number combinations.

For piece 1, for example, there are four pieces with the letter-number combination 1A. These are spread across three pages: page 15, page 16 (which also includes a section of piece 8D at the bottom–trim the page between those two pieces…[Read more]

Thanks so much for your response. I have matched the letter/number combinations in the corners of some pages.
However, there seems to be some missing pieces. For example: #1 Front Yoke should consist of 4 pages. I can’t find the 4th page. Another issue is 2 of the pages contain pattern parts of another piece of the pattern. Now which parts…[Read more]

For this pattern, you will be assembling the individual pattern pieces, not a giant pattern sheet. You can find instructions for how to tile the pieces together on page 15 of the PDF file. In short, you will trim the edges (the area outside the grid lines) from the pages. Then look for the letter-number combinations in the black circles in the…[Read more]

I had to take a month off from working on this to do Christmas sewing…but I did eventually get back to it! Thank you so much for your help, Liesl! I ended up making a size 14 with no adjustments and a size 10 neckband. I added 6” to the length I think. And to make the neckband fit, I cut the back out on the fold and added a pleat in the c…[Read more]

Thank you. I ended up making the view b and it came out well despite some missteps along the way. I erred on the side of caution since it was my first time making it but next time I want to try some of the contrasting fabric options for a more creative approach.

Great! I hope you share it when you’re done!

Thanks Masha. I feel encouraged and will try out your suggestion.

Hi Annie. I think I would probably put in the seam for the best fit, and then end up with a slit opening instead of a keyhole. . But you could try doing the adjustment without a center back seam, and then take out the excess at the neckline with darts.

Since no one else is jumping in here, I can only offer a bit of insight from lengthening things, which is that when you change the length, the width (or circumference) changes a bit too. So my tendency in the case of shortening a sleeve would be to do it in a way that ensures the sleeve is the width you want at various points on the arm. Not sure…[Read more]

For what it’s worth, I didn’t find that information on the pattern I bought either. I usually need an extra inch or two (or three) spread through the torso, and so I look for waist length info. The best I could do was to measure the pattern and hope for the best!

Others here have spoken of making a muslin, which I admire but will never be…[Read more]
