They took them out of the displayer, and put them in the drawer, and the red/pink end was up. The pattern person at my JAF is really on top of keeping the pattern drawers in order.<BR/><BR/>Jill<BR/>Dungeon minionjillnjoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702978468097634036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-11270701180706271982009-02-05T19:28:00.000-05:002009-02-05T19:28:00.000-05:00Hi Debbie,I'm glad you are back.I had given up on ...Hi Debbie,I'm glad you are back.I had given up on Connie Crwford patterns too.If you give it a "thumbs up",I guess I'll have to give her one more chance.Lisa H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13019103765147476804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-29740913252090578322009-02-04T14:38:00.000-05:002009-02-04T14:38:00.000-05:00So nice to have you back Debbie!You've been sorely...So nice to have you back Debbie!<BR/>You've been sorely missed!<BR/>I like the combo of brown fabrics for the jacketAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-23372930342171917912009-02-04T13:48:00.000-05:002009-02-04T13:48:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Aminathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365142211845528219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-71612947428747282202009-02-04T13:47:00.000-05:002009-02-04T13:47:00.000-05:00You are such an inspiration, we are missing you in...You are such an inspiration, we are missing you in blogland.Aminathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365142211845528219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-41010943918048646062009-02-03T15:46:00.000-05:002009-02-03T15:46:00.000-05:00Hey, these pics aren't bad at all!

In muslin I made the XL w/DD front. You are right that the dart is in the right place and the shoulders are almost perfect. Like you said, the problem is that there are no clear instructions on what cup size to make. I don't think it's based on your actual cup size. On me the front is about one inch longer than it needs to be on the center front. I'll going to make another muslin as I need to make some back sleeve cap changes. For the most part I'm happy with the pattern and appreciate your suggestion to buy it.knitmachinequeen (KMQ)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06905640436931172793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-1964167771439750182009-01-31T19:21:00.000-05:002009-01-31T19:21:00.000-05:00Debbie, I'm so happy to find your blog.

It made me remember a lightly embroidered QVC jacket that had short sleeves and was worn with matching capris resembling this simplicity jacket pattern that I had intended to hunt a pattern for. Maybe I can get it made up before next winter if I can get it fba-d and slashed enough to fit me in the front. I buy and wear lots of rtw winter suits very similar to this one that I have to alter when I find them sold as separates- would love to have a pattern fitted up for this type suit. mssewcrazyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-86257304370996522252009-01-27T21:56:00.000-05:002009-01-27T21:56:00.000-05:00Love your blog Debbie and all your helpful tips.

This pattern looks great on you and so comfy. I love the new version and the green one as well from your review. I think it far surpasses work at home pjs -that suit wants to be worn out and seen.

It is a thrill to hear about the CC pattern for full busts -maybe I can even find a tnt pattern for a blouse which I desperately need. I live in my pjs also when I am at home which I hope will be lots more in the coming months. I was thinking I need to make a set for spring (winter version in cotton). My warm weather ones are capris and short sleeves. <BR/>When one is at home, the clothing has to work hard ,is washed a lot and does not last like an outfit worn occasionally so why not take advantage of all your hard work on the tnt patterns.They fit you wonderfully. I hope I get some to that point this year. Great to know you are doing ok. mssewcrazyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-31720755985587724132009-01-27T08:43:00.000-05:002009-01-27T08:43:00.000-05:00Hi Debbie, I nominated for the Kreativ Blogger awa...Hi Debbie, I nominated for the Kreativ Blogger award.Lisette Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332082021185663844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-76874715886377771372009-01-26T22:13:00.000-05:002009-01-26T22:13:00.000-05:00I'm so happy to see a post from you!!
