Below are details of all pattern updates that have been made, as any errata we have found.
MN1001
This pattern was updated in May 2018 to correct minor instructional errors:
Diagrams in the “Sleeve” section of the instructions show the bodice incorrectly. The modesty panel should be visible when the top is inside out / wrong side facing out. This has been corrected.
The Bodice Front (pattern piece 1) was updated to include a CF notch for alignment with the modesty panel, and instructions where updated accordingly.
Instructions for hemming the skirt were missing. To hem simply fold under ½” (1.3cm) and sew with a zig zag stitch or twin needle.
