I'll have to try it out. <br /><br />The ruler was pretty exciting to find as well -- now I have no excuse not to get busy trying to learn more about pattern drafting ;) Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-65571907112705488702019-05-15T18:55:29.083-04:002019-05-15T18:55:29.083-04:00Hi Melanie, I once had the Kusamba dress pattern....Hi Melanie, I once had the Kusamba dress pattern. I must have given it away, which is a shame as looking at it now, it is a really nice comfortable looking pattern. And the ruler.... now that is a bargain!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286531350427715397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-49038928201972839402019-05-15T18:48:37.297-04:002019-05-15T18:48:37.297-04:00Unfortunately Style Arc only make patterns in one ...Unfortunately Style Arc only make patterns in one size per pattern which can be a bit limiting as a person's body measurements change. So I imagine, if somebody grew out of a size it would just be redundant. At least they didn't throw the pattern out in recycling. That was a find if the size is yours.

It was the British edition so they must be getting it direct from the UK. Apparently it's also available at the Presse Internationale shop at 537 Bloor W. but I haven't been there recently myself.

I know few people who sew and even fewer who would have bought - then tossed out - a paper pattern from Australia!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119414203044028919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-80988905051148927162019-05-15T01:43:44.317-04:002019-05-15T01:43:44.317-04:00Really great thrifting!
