I have not made anything from a pattern since school many years ago ds has a school ceilidh tomorrow and they need to wear tartan.
I found a beautiful piece of good wool tartan plus have a waistcoat pattern. Everything is ready but before I cut the tartan, there is a correct way and a wrong way to cut. Words like 'bias' 'selvage' and nap lurk around but I don't remember anything about them.
I am also going to attempt making a tie.
The same selvage/bias/nap confusion for some silk type material for the back so it hangs nicely.
Please help!
