Hm, mine seem to be adding up, but I’m not confident I’m measuring the same bit where you’re having trouble. It’s your piece 8, “pants front” that’s half an inch shorter than the combined pieces 6 and 11, “lower side panel” and “upper side panel”?

Masha – I read this yesterday and just now got time to comment – I have been thinking of you all day. I’m sending love and positive thoughts as well.

What beautiful photos! Prince George is just a stunning little fellow isn’t he? And little Princess Charlotte is just so delightful!
I am certain we will see some very classic styles coming to the forefront as she grows.

Masha, I am so sorry to hear your terrible news. I truly wish there was something I could do.

I hope you have some support.

Is ‘washed like rags’ good or bad? And what’s ‘goffer’? AUS to USA translation, please?

Oh you poor darling! What a horrendously stressful and worrying time for you. You are top of the prayer list for me now Masha. Please make sure you rest and take care of you! I know that would probably be the last thing on your mind right now. Do you have family rallying around you in support?

I pray your husband’s condition improves.
