• Elastic Inserts Waist of pants too small?
  Here’s how to give increased girth and flexibility at the same time to the waist of pants (or to a fitted skirt)
• Flat Fly Front (Sandra Betzina) A very simple way of putting in a fly front on pants.
• Wide Brim Summer Sun Hat I came across a set of instructions for drafting a pattern for a wide-brim sun hat. I gave them a try. The hat turned out surprisingly well. So I’ve provided the original instructions along with the modifications I made.
• Japanese Monpei – very simple pants instructions based on the Japanese peasant garment.
