I admire that about you.<BR/>If you read my latest post, you will see that I am out there buying patterns again. <BR/><BR/>However, I am making another Burda skirt from the Burda pattern used in March. I believe though that this skirt would be one that can only last for a year or more.<BR/><BR/>But the cardigan and tank top from KS may become a TNT.Linda Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655695696943452993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-52438160924814022202008-04-06T16:39:00.000-04:002008-04-06T16:39:00.000-04:00Carolyn,You should publish a book with your variat...Carolyn,<BR/>You should publish a book with your variations on the TNT. You really know how to use them as classics. I have a few, mostly old Palmer Pletsch ones from the 80's. They had put out a bunch of classics then that were easy to alter and fit. Sometimes I just use them as a template to lay over a new pattern for sizing. A really easy well fitting pant I use is an OOP Burda 2998. It's a side zip, faced waist,slight flare leg pant. It calls for a stretch woven fabric. It makes up so easy because of the plain top. For dresses I use another OOP. It's a Vogue elements dress 9508. It's a shift style, sleeveless...no zipper, but it has a nice shapely fit even though it's a pullover. I usually go to these when I need something overnight. Sometimes I do my best sewing like that.<BR/>MargueriteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-68811451931247062072008-04-06T14:46:00.000-04:002008-04-06T14:46:00.000-04:00Every time I try a new pattern, my dearly beloved ...Every time I try a new pattern, my dearly beloved rolls his eyes, because he knows it's going to end up taken apart and redone 6 ways from Sunday. I have about 4 top patterns, 2 skirt patterns and one princess seamed dress patterns. I do like to try variations, but always end up back with my TNTs (which I didn't even know was a classification before I started reading your blog!).Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-85329244796121297942008-04-06T13:17:00.000-04:002008-04-06T13:17:00.000-04:00I'm more of a "make them once and leave them" sort...I'm more of a "make them once and leave them" sort of person. *Patterns* that is!

But, I only have versions of my Hot Patterns Razer pant which I have narrowed and widened the legs. Changed the waist and the zipper. I change my Sandra Betzina t shirt and I make an HP Sunshine top a lot. But it is not really as versatile as the patterns you call tnt. Something to aspire to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
