Hi Peter!

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, the reason that most sewing instructions are done with line drawings is to focus the eye on what needs to be done. I'm going to include a few more photos in the 2nd edition, but it won't be at the expense of the line drawings.

Help me out a little with what happened with the pleats. I'm a little confused about how you wound up with a different number of pleats than you marked at the beginning. Were you pleating to the stripe or to the sett? Did you mark a certain number of pleats but made more or fewer pleats as you went along? Did you need more or fewer pleats because the size wasn't coming out right? Or do you mean that you estimated roughly how many pleats you might need but wound up with a different number when you did the actual layout?

If you can help me understand where you went wrong, I can fix the instructions and make them clearer.

Cheers!
