It does not replace my love of getting a new pattern, but I do enjoy a good old flick through when it arrives. I found that tracing is easier when you use a high-light pen to go around what you are tracing first. Its not great, but it is better than trying to trace without. I also tape the pattern and tracing paper to the window, I know my neighbours probably think I am mad, but the natural light box works a treat ! xxKirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14160921813896785056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103440683465827104.post-11359879160276836792012-03-07T20:32:58.694+00:002012-03-07T20:32:58.694+00:00Gotta love a blazer - it goes with everything and ...Gotta love a blazer - it goes with everything and makes you look super stylish ! I also get the subscription, I started in October as that issue had LOADS of beauties in it.

I've checked at bookstores around, but never found one. I just buy the subscription and be done with it!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989756320124172799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103440683465827104.post-75240352602646131722012-03-04T12:58:05.411+00:002012-03-04T12:58:05.411+00:00I don't always buy it, because I can't get...I don't always buy it, because I can't get it near me, but I did buy this issue last week! I love the knot-front skirt (2nd image), and interestingly, I was watching the original Mission Impossible, season 7 (from 1971) a couple days ago, and one of the female characters was wearing the EXACT SAME dress as image 4, only in knit fabric and with long sleeves. And each side of the dress was a different color, so where it twisted together it looked really cool!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.com
