Teri,
It's good to have you back!
I think I have a Kwik Sew pattern here somewhere and will trace off an
entirely new pattern for all three girls and see what happens. If
nothing else I guess I can add some gathers to the center front and back
so these can be worn. One of the patterns I used was Butterick and the
other was McCalls but since they are all the same company now, who knows?
I very much dislike the fact that the new patterns seem to be printed so
badly, the ink is faint and in some places almost non-existent. With the
lack of a printed seam allowance, I sometimes have a difficult time
figuring out what they have allowed as a seam allowance since it seems
to vary.
Welcome back and thanks for the advice,
Judie
