Save Yourself from Matching Plaids
If you have some wonderful plaid fabric you’d like to use, yet you don’t feel like going
through the work of matching the design at the seams, try turning some of your pattern
pieces on the bias (the diagonal) – assuming you have enough fabric to do so.
So for a shirt, you might try cutting the yoke or the sleeve cuffs on the bias. For a
jacket, you might try cutting the sleeves or the pockets on the bias.
Not only will you save yourself a little time, but you’ll end up with a garment that has
more visual interest to it than if cut the traditional way.
