Hi Rory and HTAers
I am doing a pattern and toile based on my dimensions (see another post to come). On the pattern point 24 to 22 is noted to be "apply back shoulder width 12-14" To me that means that I measure 12 to 14 in my case 6 3/8" and use the same measurement from point 22 until it crosses the line out from point 23 to give me 24. This means that the front seam and the back seam are the same length at 6 3/8".
However, when i get to Episode 15 in the Coat video we remark the shoulder seams such that we measure the forepart shoulder seam length (12-14 on the pattern) and remark the back shoulder seam (24 to 22 on the pattern) to be this forepart dimension plus 3/4"to give some easy to the back shoulder. The extra coming out at the arm inlay.
Should the pattern 24 to 22 be 12 to 14 plus 3/4" to match the making process?
Cheers
Ken
