Sew Retro Errata
(Because everyone makes mistakes)

Picture
Saturday Afternoon Skirt
As hard as I tried to make sure every single thing was perfect in Sew Retro, mistakes are always a given with a project this size. If you find mistakes in the projects, please please please email me and let me know.

The first error I've found is in the Saturday Afternoon Skirt (page 128). I found it because I made another skirt for myself and realized that somehow I had left out the FRONT DARTS on the skirt in the book. I say to make back darts in Step 1 of "Darts & Zipper," but I never say to make front darts (and it doesn't look like I made them in the picture). But with the measurements I give for cutting, the skirt will wind up too big in the waist if you don't make them. (If you made the skirt, you probably realized this and went ahead and made them.) Aside from the dart mix up, I really do still love this skirt!
