Has anyone use this pattern? I have a question about
the cutting layout that I can't figure out. It shows the
selvage edge at the top and the bottom (I'm ok with it so
far) but it also shows sel. on the right hand side of the
picture and I assume sel. is an abbreviation for selvage.
How can you have selvage on top, bottom and right hand
side. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!


I just went to TSWLTH and pulled that pattern. I took pics
with my iPad, but the pictures disappeared, so I cannot
refer you to the actual pattern piece numbers.

The cutting diagram shows two sections of the fabric, first
one with "sel"(selvedge) at the top, "fold" at the bottom
and "sel" on the right, in about the location where you
would find the second selvedge after folding just the amount
needed to cut the bodice pieces. Cut the skirt piece in a
singe layer, and the bodice piece(s) on the smaller folded
piece at the bottom. The remaining pattern pieces are cut
on a double layer, folded with selvedges at the top IIRC.
