Sewing Notes
Here are some tips we recommend for a successful sewing project:
Fit and style
- Choose a size with your bust. Refer to the body measurements chart.
- On the finished garment measurements chart, you can also check the length of the garment and see if it’s suitable for your height. You may want to compare the length with a similar piece of clothing. This jacket is long and should fall slightly below the hips.
- If you need to shorten or lengthen the garment to achieve this look, slash the pattern above the hemline. Slash perpendicularly to the grainline, and spread to add length, or overlap to shorten. When you spread the pattern, fill in the gap with scraps of paper. Tape everything back in place.
- If you adjust the pattern, be sure to replace the button and buttonhole symbols so that they are evenly spaced.
- Adjust also the length of the sleeve by the same amount you added or removed on the body.
Fabrics
- If you’re using a plaid flannel, you may need more fabric than indicated for pattern matching.
- If you’re using corduroy, be sure to place the pieces so that the pile runs toward the bottom of the garment.
Cutting out
- Preshrink the fabric before you start cutting it out. To do so, wash and dry the same way you would with the finished garment. This means you should also take into account the fabric type and its content.
- Once the fabric is washed and dried, press it to remove all the creases. Be sure that you’ve set your iron to a temperature that is suitable to the fabric. As a rule of thumb, synthetic fibers (acrylic, spandex, polyester…) should be pressed at low heat, and natural fibers (cotton, wool, linen…) should be pressed at high heat.
- When you’re ready to cut into the fabric, fold it lengthwise, right sides together. The fold should not twist and lay flat. If it’s twisting, unfold and fold again, until it lays flat. Then, place the pattern pieces so that the grainline is parallel to the selvages.
- Be sure that you don’t cut the notches too much, they should be about 0.3-0.4 cm long (1/8″). If your fabric frays a lot, you may prefer to mark your notches with a chalk.
Sewing
- If you’re not sure how to sew buttonholes, be sure to check your sewing machine manual. The process will vary from one machine to another.

I don’t know if you take requests, but something in the daytime style of the 1 and 2 season of Downton Abbey would be fun! 😅
Hmm I never watched the show. I had a look, but it may be too vintage for me… I don’t think I have the expertise. But thanks for the suggestion!
I really appreciate these patterns, I have them all pinned to sew.
These patterns are wonderful!!😍Thanks ❤️
Hello
I’m from Denmark and so excited about the opportunity you provide for good patterns.
I hope it is okay to ask a question.
I am going to sew the UP 1032 Oversized Flannet Shacket. There is a pattern part called the Sleeve Placket. And I can’t figure out where to place it. Is it between the sleeve when I’ve done the calves and the cuff?
Kind regards and thank you Eva
