I really can't wait to see you start to actually use some of these patterns. I've found that the shaping drafted into some of the vintage patterns is subtle but far superior to many patterns drafted today.

I do think that the latest BWOF patterns are better than they were a few years ago and certainly better than any of the other pattern companies. <BR/>You certainly have been finding some great patterns lately.

I am truly inspired by seeing how you take a pattern and incorporate the details into what you know is 'you.' <BR/><BR/>While I still haven't cut into but one piece of my NY fabric spree (and then I ruined that one). I am stepping out of my comfort zone with patterns and techniques.

I am not a large person, but thick with a tummy from recent pregnancies around the middle and trying to lose it. The sheaths/sacks do nothing for me! Maternity clothes look better on me than the shapeless things.Myrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163175961766563965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-37255224778745464252008-09-09T06:52:00.000-04:002008-09-09T06:52:00.000-04:00Great pattern choices!

BTW, look carefully at the pattern instruction sheets near the bottom, there is usually the copyright date on one side or the other in tiny print, usually the side with the actual sewing instructions.Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-86194354494535679602008-09-09T01:23:00.000-04:002008-09-09T01:23:00.000-04:00I would love to see your finished project.
