PC: French seams enclose the raw edges, so there's no surging involved. The shirt ends up as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. I'm not familiar with the book you mentioned. I actually designed my own pattern after looking at drawings and studying descriptions. I decided that no self respecting frontier wife would depend on a commercial pattern to make her husband an everyday shirt. I also made adjustments and changes that were specifically for my husband's build.

All I can really say after making this thing by hand, is thank God for leather thimbles! NS
