tg33 said... I think I've seen it mentioned before that the BWOF models are very long legged, and the patterns tend to look longer in real life, which would explain what you found? 11/13/09 11:28 AM
chicaem29 said... Love your skirt! I'm glad to see your review - I had forgotten about this skirt and I think it would be perfect for a fabric I just bought. Plus it's really helpful in alerting me to fitting/instruction issues! I was debating between a pencil or A-line skirt and this seems like a good compromise of the two. Anyways, the plaid looks great and your welt pockets are lovely! 11/13/09 11:29 AM

kathigarn said... This is one of the patterns I thought was cute in the magazine. I think it is even cuter now! Great job! 11/13/09 12:28 PM
Mary Nanna said... I laughed when I read your review because I have struggled through "piping" and "abutting lines" on a dress I made with double welt pockets from BWOF. My personal favourite though, is there use of "slit" to mean the front fly opening. When they direct you to sew the back up to the front opening slit, it does give you pause for a little snigger. 11/13/09 12:56 PM
