Very cute tunic. This one caught my eye too, but I've never done a placket either and don't have the previous issue!

Cute cuffs. Congrats!! Was it difficult adding the seam allowances? I have NEVER worked with BWOF patterns. Someone let me know.

Sewcrazy53, Thanks for your comment. It is not difficult at all to add allowances to BWOF. You do have to trace each pattern (from a master sheet with many overlapping patterns each indicated with a different color) to add allowance you could cut with a rotary cutter with an arm. I just measure five eights around and connect the dots. The one thing worth mentioning is that there are no pictures in BWOF instructions. I think that GLPnews.com gives you a free 1st issue when you subscribe. Give em a try, i have really grown fond of BWOF!
