Hello, I have your Joan Top sewing pattern which came from the Love Sewing magazine quite some time ago. I am wondering if the pattern includes and seam allowances and if so, how big are they. I do not have the magazine issue in my collection now so am unable to check for anything in the directions
Hi Sam- wow thats going back a bit!
I think its a 1cm seam allowance- here are some basic instructions which may help -All the best Fiona
