neato, thanks.
>I think only North American pattern companies include SA on their patterns? I have no idea why.
my guess is that mass production standards got locked in back in the WWII era and now we're stuck with a bunch of retarded shit as being the 'commonly accepted way of doing x'. shoulder slope is a glaring example.

other anon is dead right about this being a very very non-beginner-friendly project, mind. the biggest thing obv is that the seams need to be strong af and they need to be able to stretch. if you've got a serger or can access one, use it. i don't think you'd have much luck on a regular sewing machine but no harm in trying anyway. thread is gonna be the key variable though. get ahold of some milsurp bonded nylon thread that you can't break with your hands. like if it'd cut into your skin before snapping apart itself, that's the stuff you're looking for. high af shear strength. lastly, if the machine stitch is a no-go and using a serger isn't an option, you could try doing it by hand. use a catch stitch (pic related) and the bonded nylon thread. if that goes well enough you could even throw some extra autism at it and do the whole thing up in flat felled seams. good luck
