Accurate seam allowance is very important. Even though it is only 1/4″, that is 1/4″per seam and adds up quickly. Hope you give it another shot, it is a really great pattern.

What size are you making? Can you put up a picture? I have made this a few times in different sizes and never had a problem.

Some of my patterns have been printed in two sheets, not sure about the reasoning- mostly the larger size ranges or adult patterns. I second looking for a local print shop, mine knew exactly what I needed and was better priced than the office supply chains.

Um, then we just need to see it on instagram 😉

Aw, thanks @motherof5 and @vothgirl, I am blushing. It is such a great pattern, I want a closet full of them.

Did you hold the gallery and the cinema together to see they fit? Just clarifying as that is what I think you mean. If they are a perfect fit, I can’t see why you couldn’t just swap them, but that’s just my two cents.

You fold your raw edge up to the inch you want. So if it says fold a half inch and then an inch, first fold your raw edge to the half inch all the way around and then fold to the inch. If you’d like I could pop up a pic on flickr.

Have you ever tried a hem gauge? They are life changing (IMO). I have this one and use it all the time.…[Read more]

That blue is gorgeous!

If any of your local shops carry Art Gallery cottons, they are beautiful too and so nice to work with. They are made with Pima cotton and have worked well with all the garments I have made from them.

I have made these many times for my boy, they are a favorite of his! http://sewingforfour.blogspot.com/search/label/after%20school

Seconding Justine!! That would be amazing!

Two more.

Here are the photos @dlaviola sent me

Hmmm, I still can’t see them. I shot you an e-mail.
