What is the top for this outfit?
Hello, you can download the top from the Lydia Loungewear Set
Hi there,
Am I missing the measurements for the front pleats?
Hi there! The pleats are marked with notches on the paper pattern pieces.
Hi. Thank you for the free patterns. I am trying some of them out and have mastered putting the pdf together. Would it be possible to make the sewing instructions printable so that they are easier to follow?
Hi Gillian,
You should be able to print the webpage itself by going to the menu in your web browser. It will probably be several pages long, but it should include the text and the photos.
Thanks for the pattern! The photos show two front pleats. However there is only one pleat marked. It looks like the pattern either needs a second pleat mark or a measurement for pleat depth.
It looks like you’re right. I would try to make two pleats within the markings on the pattern, or just follow the pattern and only make 1 pleat.
Hi there. Are the front and back centre seams sewn rights sides together and left raw? I feel like I’m missing a step here, thanks
Yep, the crotch seams are left raw. But this set was sewn with a fabric that doesn’t fray much. If you want to finish the seams, you can always do a french seam or use a serger.
