I ordered 2 patterns. Thanks for the discount, Carolyn. It helped pay for shipping and I had some savings left over.

I've upsized several from size 20 to 22. They are well thought out and easy to sew. I also think (although I haven't tried this yet) that it would be fairly easy to interchange pattern pieces.<br /><br />When I first learned about CJ patterns, what I liked most was the concept of a uniform, a group of clothes that you looked good in and felt comfortable wearing. It's easy to put together a complete wardrobe with her patterns. If I could only make one, it would have to be the swing coat. It always looks good.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13382050215676302342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-60648004864139977612011-05-30T01:46:02.763-04:002011-05-30T01:46:02.763-04:00Can't wait to see how this turns out!Can't wait to see how this turns out!Peggy's Closethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897892825330719619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-9504229854680954352011-05-29T22:29:46.423-04:002011-05-29T22:29:46.423-04:00I have the same pattern.

I do love that - it is so annoying to have to spend time working out what it is that you're supposed to be doing.
