I picked up two great patterns at the sewing show in March and just finished two of the jumpers. The black and white one is a 'magic jumper', the front folds over to a clean side when the first side gets dirty. The second is a 'vintage jumper and hat' It is my favorite ever pattern from www.sewinggarden.com. I can't wait to see how the gd looks. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v425/LauraBC/Sewing/? http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v425/LauraBC/Sewing/? http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v425/LauraBC/Sewing/? http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v425/LauraBC/Sewing/? The vintage jumper is a white cotton with green stripes and a white cotton with grenn and pink pastel polka dots, plus a white, green and pink plaid And also my first attempt at crocheting. This took me quite a while to get the hang of it and I had to rip out each section three times before I got it right. Now I'm on a crochet binge!! http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v425/LauraBC/Sewing/? Just had to share before getting back at it for a while!! Laura

Laura, was it difficult to crochet the poncho (is that what it's called?). It's very pretty. I mainly do blankets with a double crochet stitch but just go back n' forth. When it comes to following one of those patterns I get waaaaay confused. But I'd like to try..... - Maureen.

Mary I got the patterns from Susan at SewingGarden.com when she was here at the Sewing and Craft Show in March. I have never ordered on line from her, but I really like how she does her patterns and the directions are really easy. I also have the frayed edge jacket, and a hoodie pattern and a vest pattern for kids. Have the frayed jacket pattern ready to go, haven't tried the other two yet. Maureen, That poncho was really easy, it was 2 rectangles sewn together!! I have a really hard time with turning and getting a rectangle or a square shape, I tend to lose stitches somewhere in the turn and get one side coming in at an odd angle. That's why I had to do it three times for each rectangle. The trimming was easy, just a shell stitch I found in a book I had. I've been busy working on my rectangles and squares by doing cotton dishcloths before I attempt anything else. Laura
