I have made both tops but it would be beyond me to do an ‘easy’ tute to swop them over.
I am not sayings its not do-able, I am just don’t think it would be a simple task.

Not like we are hassling Liesl…..poke, poke.

I think Inder is right!
(But a soft blazer would be most acceptable)

What a pain we are cataloging rams Wednesday and we are already in Horsham……
Thanks so much for thinking of me.

*Not a science*
I made the size 10 for one of my daughters and there is 42” (approx) of fullness through the waist.
