Has anyone used Rocking Horse Farm's Sleeveless Surcoat pattern? I've
got some lovely gold & silver brocade that should be just barely
enough. But the instructions are EXTREMELY sketchy & the seam marks
don't seem to match. Nor do some of the little dots for the pleats.
I've cut a muslin, but I'm having no luck with the under-arm area.
There must be a pleat, but there is the oddest little jaggedy bit I
can't figure what to do with no matter how I fold things. I'm about
ready to throw up my hands & redraft the bl**dy thing. But I don't know
this period well enough to guess what should be going on in the side panel.
I'd be very grateful for any input.
Yours,
