 The best way to get a truly straight line for all the straight seams in Jane is to pull a thread. This is done by snipping into the fabric at the right measurement and then carefully pulling on the single thread that the cut exposes. Once pulled all the way out of the fabric it creates a void that is easily followed to cut a straight line.

 You can sew your Jane entirely by machine, or by hand. But it is also possible to mix and match techniques to your liking. It is common practice for modern makers of historical clothing to sew the seams by machine but finish them by hand.

+I made Jane because shifts are a very fundamental part of historical sewing but its hard to make or find a pattern that works for you. A lot of blogs have instructions for drafting, but drafting can be overwhelming. Freesewing allowed me to code a pattern that is sized to your body without you having to do all the work of drafting. The shift Jane is based on is one I made following [Sharon Ann Burnstons instructions](http://sharonburnston.com/). Her work got me interested in shifts and the details and minutia of making one that does what you want it to do. I wanted to make Jane to give people a great place to start their historical sewing journey, a pattern that is easy to use and lets you move on to the exciting things if you feel that way or play around in the world of squarecut garments like I have. -Zee
