This is the second review of this pattern - saw a top made from it that was very flattering also. I will definitely look this magazine up! By the way, I always cut up my pdf patterns while I watch tv or listen to audio books, etc. Sometimes that gets me in trouble, as I cut the wrong part or something, but I can always reprint that page which is what makes these patterns so great.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17899896728363922575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-2110159455924863082017-04-24T01:28:22.354-04:002017-04-24T01:28:22.354-04:00I love stripes and this is a fabulous use of your ...I love stripes and this is a fabulous use of your beautiful fabric.
