Now I have sewn for um 60 years and duh, no one told me about the numbers (but I am an ole lady dog still learning new tricks). Yes, you need to send Vogue, McCalls or whomever a detailed letter with your experience and also get a (what da ya call it) and you have to pay for it–a card they sign saying they got the letter. Ole Lady Dog has just had a ………..Must be the cough and cold. Why are we the ones who have to watch out for everything? Love your blog as usual.

Good catch! And on an Issey Miyake pattern too. So sad.

Just shows you, one needs to pay strict attention and think things through before leaping in with the scissors (or rotary cutter). And also note that none of the commercial patterns are to be trusted implicitly! How frustrating. Now I feel sorry for newbie sewers everywhere.

I love your buttonholes and your plaid fabric. Can’t wait to see the finished piece. I don’t sew, but I did make a vest in one of your classes and were it all the time. Thank you for all your helpful information.

Who goes to a website to check each and every pattern for corrections? They either need to put corrections in every Vogue 1320 pattern they have out there or they need to pull them all and reprint. The same goes for any pattern with that kind of gross error(s). Can you imagine if we were using our precious handwoven material? Just try to come up with that much more! Piece 5 of that pattern is not only large, you need two of them! Oh my goodness, but as you said the end of an era. The death of Vogue’s accuracy and dependability makes me very sad.
