And thanks Liesl for the info on laying out…yes, your lines were easy to follow, and the thing in Acrobat about being able to turn off the layers like in Photoshop is brilliant! Slowly I am being dragged into the PDF pattern era. Thanks…[Read more]

And my error may help you with others. I cut the pattern as a size medium because the only adjustment I needed to make was the neck opening, so I cut M but used the higher neckline for the L, even though that seemed odd to me that it should be higher, not lower. After a good night’s sleep I looked at things again, and (having…[Read more]

I SO appreciate the responsiveness of you and Todd. I did one thing last night: measured the Men’s L neckline opening on me, 5’6″ female. Too tight to button even for me, so will triple check how I cut the neckline opening. Then I grabbed a couple of younger (slightly larger) son’s shirts to compare. The collar stand pattern…[Read more]

Sorry about the clutter…OK to delete the previous flubbed attempt to upload pics. No idea why the first ones uploaded without having to resize!

I have measured and double and triple checked and it really looks like I cut it correctly. I took the measurements of the shirt as well to cross-check with the finished garment measurements. Under the armpit I have a width of about 48 not having used up the seam allowances, which brings it down to 46″ which is…[Read more]

I am making a men’s Medium, with the neck, collar stand and collar cut size L. I have checked (repeatedly) to make sure the pattern pieces printed correctly (using both PDF and Adobe Acrobat). The grid is exactly 1 inch. But My collar stand is about 2″ too long for the shirt…[Read more]
