… when one is getting on quite nicely with the Jasmine pattern one received for Christmas…
… all ready to sew the long tie pieces to the back collar piece K, and… hang on, what back collar piece K? I haven’t cut one… I don’t even have a paper one.
No K.
Sigh. I did cut the pattern out months ago, though I’m usually pretty good at keeping everything together. But not this time. So, what would you do?
a) buy a whole new copy of the pattern for one piece
b) attempt to draft the missing piece, hopefully from the clues of the neighbouring pieces
c) any other ideas?


Put up a request for someone to trace it in your size and send it to you. Or they could trace it on a piece of paper, draw a 5×5 cm box next to it and scan it and email it to you. It’s only half a collar right? Shouldn’t be a problem.
It happens but no need to buy another pattern. I have this pattern still uncut so send me an email, if you still need it.
Thanks awesome sewists!
