I have a couple of Patrons mags and they are beautiful to look at but I admitt I've not actually sewn from them yet!
Hello Fay,
ReplyDeletethe new banner is awesome:-) Good luck with your Patrones, remember to make a muslin first to check pattern/fit out, muslins are also good walkthroughs of patterns and don't forget that basting is a friend, you'll do fine with Patrones, I'm sure. Happy sewing hours:-)
