But if he does get his mitts on them maybe it won't be so bad...I dropped a library book in a bath once, then trying to dry it in front of a heater burnt the page edges-warped blackened pages-i was beginning to feel a bit Mr Bean so I gave up and took it back and the library staff did and said nothing!!dash robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985007576083764068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293493646747440510.post-32232821449395896592010-07-05T17:04:54.681+10:002010-07-05T17:04:54.681+10:00I have that metric patterncutting one.

Have to justify carrying it on the plane, right?? (I do mean on the plane...I have a terrible habit of packing heavy but compact things like books into carry ons, leaving space in the suitcase for bulkier but lighter stuff, like the extra sweaters I can't manage to layer on my person to wear onto the plane. :p )<br /><br />And I agree with Bargy...those boring, black and white pics could TOTALLY use some bright color!!! :Dmuralimanoharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14422995764649985209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293493646747440510.post-5832272495197587822010-07-02T16:54:04.485+10:002010-07-02T16:54:04.485+10:00Who knows, that Hoppo Bumpo evening wear collectio...Who knows, that Hoppo Bumpo evening wear collection doesn't sound bad at all ;-)Karin van D.http://www.themrs.eunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293493646747440510.post-42465240620534626292010-07-02T09:38:17.839+10:002010-07-02T09:38:17.839+10:00Better you than me, my mind does wander considerab...Better you than me, my mind does wander considerably when reading about anything technical but I wish you well in your endevours.Cath @ chunkychookyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926661077860579075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293493646747440510.post-31967312977829377972010-07-02T00:15:49.232+10:002010-07-02T00:15:49.232+10:00I agree with Karen, maybe Bargy would do them good...I agree with Karen, maybe Bargy would do them good!<br />♥Cathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907149329120730070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293493646747440510.post-56166017402108673942010-07-01T23:03:10.933+10:002010-07-01T23:03:10.933+10:00It all looks very technical.

Makes you feel all competent when you follow the directions and it works! (we are saying nothing about the picasso style armhole gained from NOT following the directions correctly)<br /><br />I'm forgetting do you have a copy of Fit for Real People? I have that one. I don't have them myself but I've heard very good things about the Elizabeth Liechty ones. They are expensive but 2nd hand ones do crop up.<br /><br />Do you have a quarter/fifth scale ruler? We had them at college, allows you to draft the patterns out the book in, surprise surprise, one quarter or one fifth of actual size. Good for practicing with normal size paper when huge isn't an option.<br /><br />http://www.eastmanstaples.co.uk/Accessories/Rulers/Metric-Diagram-Square.html<br /><br />Cheers,<br />AJA Peppermint Penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496009149874919428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293493646747440510.post-58082346836579868092010-07-01T18:00:22.154+10:002010-07-01T18:00:22.154+10:00Oooh - I'm sure no-one would mind too much if ...Oooh - I'm sure no-one would mind too much if they were creatively coloured in... maybe?melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13619088750025688774noreply@blogger.com
