I know, on curves a seam allowance of 3\/8\u201d (1cm) would be easier to sew, a seam allowance of \u00be\u201d (2cm) at the side seams facilitates adjusting. But, you\u00b4ll have to check the instructions again and again while sewing, especially if you aren\u00b4t an experienced sewer or you paused your project for some weeks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Some fabrics are fraying!
