I make the first pas sewing the gusset to the sleeve and stopping where the next seam allowance starts. I will the sew the other edge of the sleeve to the gusset sewing down to the same spot I stopped for the first side. Then I sew the sleeve from gusset to cuff. <br />Making sure that you are not catching any of the other seams in the one you are working on seems to make a difference. You may want to mark your seam allowances on the gore with a disappearing marker I find that having a visual place to stop helps me.

I can get 2 of the 4 ...gussets. Underarm gussets.<br /><br />I can get 2 of the 4 corners nice, but that last one escapes me. I'm even thinking 2 seams instead of one from wrist to hem. Got any suggestions?Jerushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12918952077077978700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-461260281537658577.post-55719770010853295632013-02-01T05:52:16.749-08:002013-02-01T05:52:16.749-08:00well, I haven't gone looking for one in many, ...well, I haven't gone looking for one in many, many months, but one thing I want to learn is how to make tights out of sprang, preferably in complex multi colour diamond patterns, like the example shown in an issue of the Archaeological Textile Newsletter sometime in the past four years (sorry, am at work, can't look up the issue, but the article suggested that the Ancient Greek pottery depicting people in close fitting leg coverings could be drawings of people wearing sprang tights). I know it would help if I could get a hold of Collingwood's book, but on the occasions I have tried I couldn't manage it.A Life Long Scholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13930670217574191380noreply@blogger.com
