    My first Liesl & Co project: I made a straight size 14 with no adjustments and it fit perfectly. I'm very happy with the style and fit. I used a heavier quilting cotton that was a breeze to sew with due to the stability of the fabric. My only "complaint" is the bust darts are so pointy- I know it's due to the shortness and volume needed for the cup sizing. I already have plans for a second one!

  • Errata

    In the first version of the pattern, there was a minor error in the section, "Assemble the Skirt Front." The first sentence reads, "1. Fold the skirt front in half with the wrong sides together...." It should read "... right sides together."

     

    Determining Which Printing You Have

    As errata are discovered, they are marked for correction in subsequent printings of the pattern. To determine which printing of an instruction sheet or pattern sheet you have, look at the copyright box which appears on each. Toward the bottom of the box, there is a series of numbers.

    The lowest number you see there indicates which printing you have. For example, if the lowest number in the box on the instruction sheet is "2," you have an instruction sheet from the second printing. Any errors in the instructions mentioned for the first printing have been corrected in your version. If the lowest number in the box on the pattern sheet is "1," you have a copy of the pattern sheet from the first printing.

    Pattern sheets and instructions sheets can be printed separately, so be sure to check the errata notices for pattern pieces against the printing number on the pattern sheet and errata notices for instructions against the printing number on the instruction sheet.
