Hi Norris. I’m in the process of sewing this pattern (short sleeve version) as a gift for my brother. I’m using cotton. I noticed you didn’t use interfacing but your pattern illustrates it. Your fabric looked different than cotton. My question is, should I use the interfacing?
Hello Norris, thank you for a lovely pattern and a detailed sewalong! I bought the pattern to make for my husband, and just noticed that on the pattern it says 'cut 1' for the back yoke, whereas in the video, it uses 2. Am I right in assuming that it should be 'cut 2' for piece number 5? Thanks!
I love this video. You did a really good job explaining. However, your rings get in the way of me seeing exactly how you're sewing. If you do another video, could you leave the rings off while you video?
I have the reverse problem, brights interfere with my eyes, this is also brown and not black. I can only assume your screen brightness was set extremely low.
Hello Norris! Thanks so much for creating such a beautiful pattern, can't wait to start sewing! I'm going to make these trousers for my partner and we live in the UK, so the sizing is rather different. He usually wears a 36inch waist trousers, but the actual measurement of the waist is 38inch. Shall I make these in size 44 and tailor down id they're too wide? Thank you!
