dianec42I made the prototype skirt. Made some notes. Generally a good result. This pattern is a go!
I need to learn that it's okay to race through prototypes. It doesn't need to be perfect; heck, it doesn't even need to be good. It just needs to prove the fit.
Now I have a brand new Nerd World Problem: I know what pattern I want to use to make the top. It is an older pattern so it's available only as paper, not PDF, which honestly is fine by me, except for a slight distribution problem. With Jo-Ann out of business, where to buy paper patterns?
The answer is, apparently, buy the pattern online and pay the same amount again for shipping. SIGH.
Time to spend some time researching equally interesting patterns that come as PDFs, and see which terrible fate is slightly less terrible.
