How to Make a Flared Long-Sleeve Top from Teach Me Fashion
"I hate it when downloadable patterns are so expensive. This one is $15.00. I have to print it out using my paper and ink. Then tape it together before I can begin to use it. Why aren't download patterns more sensibly priced?"

Barbara Jenkins said… Hi Mary Ellen! I am from Littlestown, PA I was very excited to find this site! I own and operate an alterations business and every once in a while "get stumped" on a project I haven't tackled before. I was looking for a group to network with and share ideas. I think I found it!
