Hi Kathy @kjmcinerny , sorry for the late reply.
I tend to trace all my patterns, including the BBD block on thin interfacing (known as Trace and Toile, and similar to Swedish tracing paper).
Then I store each pattern tracing in a clear plastic sleeve in a ring binder.
I have all my ring binders labelled with which patterns are in them and it’s…[Read more]

Thanks for your reply! I figured it was not a big deal. I was mostly curious. But I often need to move the shoulder seam forward, so was thinking that if I did it for this pattern, I’d wonder where I was shooting for.

Tamara,

Last year we upgraded our PDF delivery module. The upgrade provides a more robust and flexible method for delivering PDFs, but one of the things we lost was that single consolidated list of all PDFs you had ever purchased that used to appear on your order history page. (It’s been gone for almost a year now, and this is the first question…[Read more]

Ha ha! I go out of my way to avoid all celebrity gossip and even I haven’t been able to avoid that news! What about something inspired by one of William and Katherine’s kids’ outfits? (I hope I got their names right?) I’ve seen a few photos of some really cute clothes–and they qualify and prince and princess, right?

The Roller Skate would be a great back drop to appliquéd bunting.
