I printed 48 pages of Syd Grahams Lane pants pattern and spent over an hour assembling it and then realized something is wrong. I printed at the library and randomly pages 5 and 6 were in landscape orientation but everything else seemed fine (including test square). I ended up reprinting 5 and 6 in the correct orientation at work. But as I’m putting it together I’ve realized it’s not right. When you look at her pattern lay out, there should be a bit of white on the left side of the left most column before the pattern cutting lines start. But when you look at my photo, the pattern lines start immediately even tho it looks like the diamonds are aligned correctly. Help!!! Thanks

EDIT: omg I have pregnancy brain. I meant the right side- pages 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 don’t look correct to me when compared to the photo from the instructions. I feel like there’s a scaling print issue but only with some pages?? I’m so confused!

Hi!! This is my first finished (well I still need to figure out how I want to finish the bottom) garment. I’m really proud of how it turned out but I wish it fit a bit closer to my sides. I used the matchy matchy sewing club ruffle brunch set pattern but chose to make it sleeveless and don’t think I’m going to do a ruffle on the bottom. I should’ve taken more out from the side seams but I don’t want to undo the bias tape at the arm holes. When it was on me I kind of folded the back like how I have it folded in the picture and that kind of created the shape I wanted- should I sew some folds like that into the back? Or what do you recommend? Also open to suggestions about how to finish the bottom
