Uhhh ... guess we're both headed to google, because I forgot to bookmark the article I found a few months back on plaids and plaid matching.<br /><br />If it's actually uneven, then I guess I just got lucky. Eh, I'll take it!

LOL I am pretty sure this is an even plaid, as everything lines up top and bottom both ways, so (in theory) I should have a "mirror" effect in front. Unless the button overlap messes that up ... I'll find out after I turn it.dfr2010https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865244243226266725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1166395328620413127.post-64522486738988137452011-01-10T13:06:05.905-06:002011-01-10T13:06:05.905-06:00Good idea for using the line on the pattern pieces...Good idea for using the line on the pattern pieces to line up the horizontal plaid.<br /><br />There are several "rules" for matching plaids which you can learn as you progress. There is one I would suggest that you use now. There is a vertical plaid near the center front of your vest. Try to get a vertical plaid in the same area of the other center front. (A little easier to do when cutting in a single layer.) Otherwise, it will look wonky to the eye.glormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864222002627736492noreply@blogger.com
