confused on Margo Anderson slops pattern

[gem]

Looking at your picture (notches aside), that is NOT an extreme amount of length difference for a curved seam. Here is an example of another pattern with curved seams (a princess-seam bodice for something). You can see those extreme curves, and it's easy to think that they will NEVER line up. But it's sewing those odd, "mismatched" layers together that turns two flat pieces of fabric into something with some built-in shape and curve--which you want in a pair of slops, as Dona and others explained

Sir Niall,

I would suggest, I have made those pannions however, so long ago I don't remember what I did, but join the Yahoo Group for Margo's Patterns, dozens of people have made them there and there are like 500 people there so perhaps? You might want to ask there and if Margo does not chime in then the others will give you a lot of help!!!
