Pattern Errata -Front leg (4) it says on the pattern piece ‘cut here for right side’ should say ‘left’. However the instructions are correct.
The tack on the under arm sleeve (at the cuff) the sizing is the wrong way round.
You will need:
18 x 14-18mm Buttons (only 16 buttons if you intend of just using one button at the cuff)
2 x Matching thread
70cm Interfacing
