My experience is that the Seashore is a slightly narrower fitting than the Tea Party – especially when worn over a top. The pockets in the Seashore are a lovely way of adding some colour without creating problems for the colours of the tops you have. Certainly the design…[Read more]

The dimensions of the bias casing pattern piece are 8.5″x 1.5″ for all sizes in your pattern’s range. You’ll find this cut piece is very generous for the smaller sleeve sizes; obviously you cut two, on the bias. Hope you will post a picture of your finished garment.
