Below is a listing of pattern corrections:
12/7/2024
TV452 – All Versions
The instructions had some incorrect language, at the Skirt instructions on page 7, Step 6b. The part in green is the corrected language.
Skirt – 6b. Thread a hand needle with doubled, super heavy
thread, that is at least 10” longer than your waist
measure. Wax the thread to help keep it from
tangling. Make a large knot at the end. Take even
running stitches along the top of the skirt, about 1/4”
from the fold. 1/4” stitch length works best, but you
may need to vary the size depending on fabric and
waist size. When you come to a seam, make a wide
stitch to put the seam to the inside of the skirt. The
skirt can gather as you go, but do not pull the gathers
tight. Start the left-had side of the Front, and end at the front edge of the left-hand Side. (You are going around the entire skirt, with the closure between the Front and Side on the left-hand side.) Leaving the gathers loose, wrap the thread around a pin or knot the thread so that the gathers can’t pull out. Leave the pocket flaps free from the stitching.

TVE42 – Paper Pattern.
The Cover Sheet had an incorrect sizing chart: specifically, the but measurements where incorrect for this pattern. The Instructions size chart is correct. Below is a link to download the updated Cover Sheet.
TVE42 – All Versions.
Pattern piece 6-Tie had a typo: pattern number incorectly listed as TVE48. All versions have now been corrected to reflect the pattern number TVE42.
4/15/2024
TVE47 – All Versions.
The instructions for the Left-hand center front folds were not correct, and the illustrations were misleading. Below are the corrected instructions:
We have updated the instructions and illustrations for future printings and updated the e-pattern files.
You can download a new Page 6 : TVE47Page6

TV456 – Letter/A4 version only.
The C-Back Lining piece was omitted from the TV456-Pattern-Page2-Letter-A4.pdf file. This has been correct on the website download. You can download just the missing piece by clicking the link below…
7/24/2023
TV461 – All versions
Labeling on the pattern pieces for the Front Yoke and Collar were labeled improperly as “Cut 2”. These both have been corrected to read as “Cut 4”.
The instructions for the collar have been updated to include a step for sewing the collar halves together at the center seam, creating a fashion collar and a lining collar.
3/12/2022
TVE47 – All versions
The placket placement notches on the Sleeve pattern pieces were missing. I have created a pattern “patch” that you can print out on a regular size paper sheet that you can place over your pattern that includes the notches and a layout pic showing how the Placket is placed on the sleeve. Hopefully, this will help clear up some of the issues that everyone is having with the placket placement.
I would also like to note that the sleeve and placket are drawn on the pattern with one face up and the other face down. I am sure this is part of the confusion. Click the link below for a .pdf of the patch.
8/11/2021
TV494 – All versions
The 2-Back pattern piece was incorrectly labeled as Cut 2 on Fold. This has been corrected to read “Cut 1 on Fold”
12/29/2020
TV102 Paper Pattern.
The Re-enforcement piece for the shoulder strap on the chemise was left off of the newest paper pattern, and the AO e-pattern version. If you are missing this piece, you can down the pattern piece below:

TVE47 – E-Pattern version.
The Letter/A4 print at home version of this pattern ended up with a missing pattern piece: 10-Sleeve Placket. You can download the pattern piece below:
Also fixed a couple numbering errors on the pattern piece list on page 3 of the instructions. The Detachable Collar patterns are now properly listed as 11-Collar Stand and 12-Collar Fall.
6/16/2020
TV404, TV460B, TV463, TV464, and TV467
I recently discovered a repeat of the auto-correct decimal place issue with the sizing charts on some the patterns. The numbers for the Adjusted Front and Adjusted Back are rounding/dropping the decimals to the neared whole number. These numbers should be showing to 2 decimal places. The issue effected the e-patterns as well as the printed patterns. You can download the corrected first page of the instructions below:
9/17/2018
TV105
There is a pattern piece mislabeled. On pattern sheet 2, piece 11 is labeled as “Cuff””, but in the instructions, this piece is referred to as “Leg Band”. Future printings of this pattern will have the pattern sheet piece corrected to say “Leg Band”
8/12/2018
TV402, TV405, TV430
I found a different error on the sizes charts for several patterns. At some point in April/May 2018, my computer chose to round some of the measurements off to the nearest whole number for the Adjusted Front and Adjusted Back. These numbers should be listed to 2 decimal places. The new patterns, and some patterns that were edited since that time have this error This effects E-patterns as well.
Hopefully, I have found all the corrupted files. If you find any other patterns with this error, please let me know and I will add them to this list.
You can download corrected versions of the instructions below.
8/9/2018
TV490, TV494, TV495, TV496, TV498
The sizing chart for the updated CAD versions of these patterns is not correct. While the sizing listed on the patterns was consistent with itself, and seemed to work fine, the Adjusted Back and Adjusted Front measurements were not accurate to the pattern pieces.
The corrected instructions can be found in pdf format, at the individual links below:
These corrections have been made on all patterns being shipped out as of 8/9/2018
3/22/2018
TV456 – 1856 Gathered Dress
Three of the pattern pieces are mislabeled.
On sheet 1 of 2
The piece labeled as “D – Front – cut 2 on the fold” should be labeled as piece G – Lower Sleeve.
The piece labeled as “D – Front – cut 2” should be labeled as D – Gathered Front.
On sheet 2 of 2
The piece labeled as C – Back Lining should be labeled as E – Gathered Back.
These corrections will be made on future printings.
2/1/2018
TV447 – 1860s Sheer Dress and
TV452 – 1860s Work Dresses
The waistband for both of these patterns was found to be 2″ too short. The same waistband is used for both patterns. This error has been corrected in both patterns for future printings.
A corrected pattern piece is available for free download below:
corrected waistband for TV447 and TV452
The corrected pattern has the TV447 label printed on it, but it is the same for TV452.
