What ticks me off is that they didn't print the patterns on tissue so I don't have to trace them out to use them. <br /><br />I found this post from Off-the-Cuff about adding in seam allowance. It looks really interesting....http://off-the-cuff-style.blogspot.ca/2009/11/how-to-add-seam-allowances-to-traced.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02500490363731355974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149664287965616549.post-7029378201398201342012-03-19T14:39:06.643-07:002012-03-19T14:39:06.643-07:00Your blouse turned out great.

The writers suggested doing it in an ivory with taupe velvet trim, and that has stuck in my brain and I hope to make it up that way sometime.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14292164227898629226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149664287965616549.post-33330923312362753842012-03-19T11:39:09.888-07:002012-03-19T11:39:09.888-07:00AND don't forget the book is not associated wi...AND don't forget the book is not associated with the Magazine in any way at all to begin with, so they REALLY can't use that as an excuse for not including s/a<br /><br />But the most important thing is...that is one adorable top!!! I won't buy the book, I flipped through it at BN and thought it was a little ho-hum. But I might knock off your top! haha!

Retro means all fashions are timeless! <br />It kind of reminds me of the calico cloth camp dresses my mother used to make for native american women. The skirts were full and the bodices were very pretty with ribbons and ric rac and lace and sometimes even some beadwork.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03668536312354596535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149664287965616549.post-74031520547414389642012-03-19T09:05:30.317-07:002012-03-19T09:05:30.317-07:00That blouse is so adorable!!

Too cute!<br />I'm with you about the collection of sewing books.
