frame said... You did a great job. I 100% agree with your assessment of this pattern. It runs really large (go down a size) and the zipper instructions are not good. I split the waistband at the center back for easier adjustments. But otherwise a nice pattern. Your results look good. 6/1/07 9:52 AM
