In addition, my pattern pieces differ from the instructions on page 15, “Sew the Cuffs.”

On the illustrations, there are little tick marks that look like notch marks along the bottom of the cuff and facing drawings, but…[Read more]

Should that be 1/4″, 1/8″, or what?
Thanks.

I can’t figure out how to sew at the correct seam allowance, say, 3/8″ or 1/2″. What do I align with what, so that the seam is in the correct place while the knife cuts the excess?
Thanks.

I’ve made one without a lining and it works fine. I plan on making another. But having a lining would prevent the fabric from getting baggy in the seat.
Is there a blog post somewhere on how to line a skirt?
If a skirt doesn’t call for a lining but you make one anyway, do you skip any waist and edge facings…[Read more]

Got it. I thought the two smaller pieces were from another pattern piece but now I see they’re the result of cutting the one bigger piece along the cut line. Many thanks.

The pattern pieces provide one sleeve placket piece (number 9), but the directions on page 12, “Making the Sleeve Placket,” show that there are two pieces for the sleeve placket. Where/how do I get the one on the right? I have the one on the left (pattern piece 9).
