I have so far made Linda Pants, Susan Top, and I'm about to cut Adel Top -- can't decide on the fabric yet. I've also found some vintage patterns from the 40s that I'd love to try. I'm also looking forward to trying Tamanegi-Kobo's patterns.

Can you tell me which skirt you are interested in? If it is written "no longer available", there is usually no way of getting it... However, companies often update the version of patterns and it can be the reason for the unavailability.

When I tried it on again it just didn't look good and I thought I could fix it but I was never happy with it so I cut it up to make a dress for my niece and so far it looks great. Im just glad that the dress didn't go to waste. batresyohana@yahoo.comYbatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801563355843305920.post-79829751795010244522014-02-13T18:37:42.002+09:002014-02-13T18:37:42.002+09:00I am in the middle of making my second Moss Mini f...I am in the middle of making my second Moss Mini from Grainline Studio.
