Not that I can think of , but May's Prima Magazine has a free pattern to send off for of a dress and matching lined bolero. Their are iinstructions on the site (I think) for making a shrug - would that be any help?
love and kisses, Jan

http://www.sew-whats-new.com/projects/shrug/shrug.shtml takes you to the shrug pattern on the site.. Always worth checking out the projests on the Home page - you'd be amazed what Mary has tucked awy in here. http://www.expressmag.com/pages/products.asp?pr=1&id=2PRIMA might give you info on the mag - I hadn't realised it might be hard to get in the states. If you subscribe they send you the issue complete with the paper pattern every month otherwise you have to send off for it. Most months it is a two piece or wardrobe type pattern, either for kids or for ladies. I have made an Aly McBeal type suit, shorts and t's, shirts and skirts of all shapes and sizes, pinifores for my girls, bridesmaids dresses and so on . It is my main source of patterns - I've just made my cargo pants from a free pattern. love and kisses, Jan

Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but how much fabric would you estimate I need for that cocoon thing? Dorothy |

Dorothy, Don't hold me to this, but I seem to remember when I saw it in my Hancock booklet a couple of Christmases ago, I think it said approx 27 inches from top to bottom.. I do know it was less than a yard.....It was one of those fleece gift projects they featured in a booklet.. Sew With Love
