Something doesn't seem quite right. How can I tell if the problem is with my sewing or your pattern? Okay, you've caught us. We try to make our patterns as perfect as we can, but sometimes we have an off day, and we make a mistake. There. We said it. And we're very sorry. To make it up to you we've provided corrections to some of Connecting Threads' free and exclusive patterns. The errata are sorted alphabetically by pattern name. Errata is such a fancy name for correction, don't you think?
