Thanks Mary! I like those patterns and they seem very economically priced. Shelly Moon

Not me, I would love too though. I have too much on my plate just now.

I've just downloaded the skirt pattern and it only gives you the basic shape - no hints as to how to customise the skirt into its' various funky forms beyond the picture on the front.This doesn't help me much I have to admit!
love and kisses, Jan

Jan, you bought the pattern with no instructions?

No it was a free download - it is just there are no ways given of making it look more interesting - the basic skirt instructions are there - several pages of them in fact - but I couldn't work out what all the measurements are on the pattern and it doesn't seem to mention them. You have to enlarge the pattern by 400% - not a problem but if I was giving an instruction it would say something like "make sure line A to B is so many inches to get the right size" instead of A= 7 3/4 Inches, B=4 5/8 inches. Unless I am preternatally thick this is beyond obscure. love and kisses, Jan

Unless I am the loopy one, I think you have to pay for the patterns. Otherwise, why did they post prices?

There are 2 patterns free to download and try - one is the long skirt pattern and one the slippers I think they are ones they have had on sale before but now are offering as a taster. Anyway _ I downloaded the slipper one as well to see if I can make some pumps to go with my daughters wedding dress. love and kisses, Jan
