Alterations Required for Sewing Patterns
In the world of sewing, accuracy is key, and that's why Simply Sewing magazine is always striving to provide its readers with the most precise patterns possible. Here's a roundup of the latest corrections for some of their popular projects.
For those who have recently sewn the Milan Dress from issue 121, it's been brought to our attention that the Front and Back bodice pieces have been incorrectly labeled. To rectify this, amended pattern pieces can be downloaded from the Simply Sewing website.
Moving on to issue 110, sewists who have made the Joni Jumpsuit might have noticed that piece 5, the Back Bodice, has been trimmed off. Fear not, as downloadable A4 sheets for this piece are now available on the website.
The Vita Blouse from issue 112 has seen some changes as well. The Back A and Back B pieces have been amended, and it's advisable to double-check your pattern to ensure you have the correct versions.
For those who have sewn the Bailey Hoodie from issue 130, there's an error in the pattern instructions. The correct instruction for the Lower Front and Pocket Bag assembly is: Lay the Lower Front wrong side down on top of the right side of the Pocket Bag, matching the centre front edges.
The Ultimate Dungarees from issue 125 lacked buttonhole placements on the pattern sheet. Thankfully, buttonhole placement guidance can be found online to help you complete your project accurately.
Moving back to issue 103, the Kiko Jacket has a few corrections to note. The size key needs to be rotated 180 degrees, and the correct size chart is available for download. Additionally, there's no mention of any corrections for the Kiko Jacket or the Penny Dress from issue 105.
The Simone Blouse from issue 136 has incorrect front and back bodice pieces. Correct Simone Blouse bodice pieces 1 and 2 are available for download to help you sew your Simone Blouse perfectly.
Finally, for those who have sewn the Marie Dress from issue 104, it's important to note that the labelling on pieces F and H (Waistband and Sleeve Cuff) have been switched. The correct Waistband piece should be 'cut on the fold', and the Sleeve Cuff piece should be 'cut one pair'.
For corrections related to older issues of Simply Sewing magazine, a corrections archive is available on the website. Navigation within the archive is possible using the three lines in the top left corner and the page contents icon.
