<p>I'm in on that too. I do try to make an effort when cutting to put the pieces I know are together next to eachother and use a particular line to match up but it never works all the way round.</p>
<p>My cape isn't even together yet! But i'll post pictures of my skirt on my mannequin later! x</p>

Perfect, who needs to match?! You are right, it would be conforming to the plaid and that would be ridiculous. I agree, show your individual spirit!<br />
<br />
Oh what else could you squeeze in before the official day? I'm loving your birthday, very inspirational on doing it right!

<p>I'm going punk on my plaid, rage against the system and claim I didn't want it to match anyway, that's so conformist and I'm an individual..... (OK, so I couldn't get all the pieces to match, sssssh, don't tell)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Judy - I just have the hem to do! I did most of the lining last night, I am DETERMINED to get a challenge in on time before my birthday ;0)</p>

I'm wondering if there actually is an answer - having just flicked through my Vogue copy again, there's a plaid skirt in there priced at over £400 and none of it matches! I think it's just fussy old me that want's it to match ...

This is exactly where I fail every time and come to my knees. When I was working on my striped long sleeve t-shirt I went around and around trying to keep the lines matched up. It was totally phooey! The only way I could get a good match was to use a glue stick to hold the seams before sewing. When I was working on my chevron bias Ginger I cut out three front panels before I actually got a match up. I'm not sure what the answer is other than I appear to be really dense!

Wish I'd known about this sooner, I'm afraid my lovely length of 'Hunter Thomson' fabric that I was so proud to have found has metamorphosed from a bias cut skirt to a handbag! After jiggling it about to try and make it match, it just kept getting smaller and smaller until I've ended up with two rectangles of bias cut fabric...oh dear... Still, I've been admiring a tartan day bag in the Cath Kidston shop (a bit out of my price range I'm afraid) so I can now make my own! Every cloud has a…
