Description
There is nothing more breathtaking than a classic tartan plaid for cooler weather! Gail Doane has cleverly incorporated tartan as the trim fabric for this adorable ensemble. This video features complete instructions for making the jacket and the dress. PDF instructions and patterns for the dress and jacket, sizes 4–10, included.
You will learn tips and techniques from Gail on construction, making welt pockets, piping in the round, proper lining, attaching trim, collar construction, raglan sleeves, and her fabulous trick on bound buttonhole windows!
