But, accurate or not...it still looks bad. What about the way it looks?
Doesn't that matter to reenactors too?
And there's no excuse for a 1/2 inch miss-match unless you're cutting from
scraps....and they weren't. [I have been guilty of it too]
Well, I definitely prefer the fuller look myself! But I want to at least
know what the skimpy-but-accurate look actually looks like before I go on to
try to get a 9yd+ hem out of 5 yds fabric. =} I also go to great lengths to
match patterns on fabric, sigh. I wonder if they got a hunk of fabric like
the one I am saving for a special project, where the pattern is off-center
on the cloth by two or three inches? If I were to double it over and cut
both right and left at once, I'd wind up very off-kilter, unless I
remembered to waste that 2 or 3 inches by not folding the cloth exactly in
half. I hate matching patterns. Hate.
