I'm using a pattern from "The cut of women's clothes" that has triangular gussets in the skirts. Now, as a not-very-competent needlewoman, I'm finding it difficult to get the points of the gussets to fit neatly. I'm only working with the lining material as yet, and have only tacked the pieces together. Can anyone offer any advice before I start sewing properly? With thanks, Kate Bunting Librarian & 17th century reenactor ________________________________ The University of Derby has a published policy regarding email and reserves the right to monitor email traffic.
