Simply Sewing corrections access contents

The Simone Blouse from issue 136

Unfortunately we spotted an error where the wrong front and back bodice pieces went to print. You can download the correct pieces below.

The Bailey Hoodie from issue 130

We have noticed that there was a small error with the pattern instructions.

The instructions should read:

Lay the Lower Front wrong side down on top of the right side of the Pocket Bag, matching the centre front edges.

This is then turned back up so that the wrong side of the Pocket Bag is against the right side of the Lower Front.

The Ultimate Dungarees from issue 125

Ooh buttons! Looks like we missed off the buttonhole placements on our Ultimate Dungaree pattern sheet. Many of you may have managed to place yours without them, but if you need guidance, please use the following images to help you.

The Milan Dress from issue 121

Whoops! Hopefully most sewists will see this (and have a giggle). We mislabelled the Front and Back bodice pieces on the Milan dress. The amended pattern pieces can be downloaded here.

The Vita Blouse from issue 112

We've noticed that the neckline on the Blouse Front and Back pieces have the sizes transposed. Download and print these three A4 sheets (at 100% scale) and use them in conjunction with the original blouse pattern.

The Joni Jumpsuit from issue 110

Oops, we've spotted a printing error on The Joni Jumpsuit from issue 110. Unfortunately, the Back Bodice (piece 5) has been trimmed off. Download and print these two A4 sheets to complete your Back Bodice.

Alternatively, extend the right-hand edge of your paper by 2cm to cover the section that’s been trimmed off (as shown highlighted on the image below).

The Penny Dress, issue 105

Oops! It seems that pattern piece D (pockets) weren't included in the pattern sheets! You can download them here.

The Marie Dress, issue 104

Unfortunately we have made an error on The Marie Dress pattern.

The labelling on pieces F and H (the Waistband and Sleeve Cuff) have been mistakenly switched. The piece that is currently labelled F is actually H, the Waistband, which is why it has the notches which align with the princess seams and side seams – this piece should be 'cut on the fold'.

The piece that is currently labelled H is actually F, the Sleeve Cuff, and should be ‘cut one pair’ so that you have one Sleeve Cuff for each Sleeve.

The Kiko Jacket, issue 103

Oops, we've noticed an error in issue 103's Kiko Jacket pattern. The size key is incorrect; it needs to be rotated 180 degrees so the lines align with the correct sizes. Here is the correct size chart.
