Some are finding the patterns more close-fitting than they would normally wear.

I just received your book and I'm happy that more pople will be able to enjoy it this way :-)<br /><br />I have a question, since I can't find the answer in the book: are the sewing allowances included in the patterns? I'm from Europe and I'm used to add them by myself, but I know that in the USA they're often already included. I'm a bit confused!
