Hi thank you so much. I have a question. On the paper draft you left at the side pocket half in about the length of the pocket size. But I cannot see it on the cut out fabric you are using now. And you did not explain why you left that . Because that is an extra apart from the 1.5 inches you added to the waist at the front. Second why did you add only one inch at the back, did you consider the back dart ? Please reply soon thank you!

Hello miriam, thank you for your question. The half inch left at the pocket during drafting is to give shape to the hip area, so its not part of the measurement. The 1 inch added to the back is for the dart like your rightly pointed out.

Good day mr Vincent, sorry but I'm kind of confused here, you used 30 on the waist when drafting your pattern and now you mentioned 43 as the waist when joining. Please can you explain because I'm confused
