My only bit of advice is to make sure not to take the sizes on the patterns too literally. For example, a pattern size 12 is probably more like a 6 today. You have to look at the actual measurments. My mother has eternally been a size 4 or 6, but all of her patterns from the 60's are 10s and 12s. <BR/>Love your fabric choices. I have made lots of things with Amy Butler fabric that have turned out beautifully.<BR/>Good Luck!Peppermint Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02274323098314863857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28088749.post-297692488501018312007-11-29T22:10:00.000-05:002007-11-29T22:10:00.000-05:00Oooh, I love the second one especially!!

Go for something the weight of a typical oxford shirt.<BR/><BR/>-says the former fashion merchandising majorTraci Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314228709308377179noreply@blogger.com
