digital parachute polo + sweatpants sewing pattern

Errata

We have had a couple queries about the first printing of the Parachute Polo. As it turns out, there is a little issue with the pattern that is throwing people off. This issue only applies to the paper version of the pattern. If you have the digital version this errata notice is not applicable to you.

If you’ve already sewed the placket and cut out the collar, no worries. It will still work the way it’s done in the original pattern. I would suggest pinning the front collar first, and as you pin toward the center back, the notches will be offset by about 1/4". You may need to ease in the neckline a bit, but it will go together and will look fine when it’s done.

But if you haven’t cut your fabric yet, here’s a fix that will make the placket easier. Move the dot and placket cut line toward the side seam by 1/4". Use this dot and cut line instead of the original placement on the pattern piece. And to compensate for the placket placement change, extend the center-back collar cut-on-fold line out by 1/4" and move the shoulder notch over by 1/4" as well. See the red lines in the diagrams below for further clarification. These changes should eliminate any confusion and will give you perfect results!

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.
