I can translate them--and most of the time I have the issue lying around anyway. You really need a sewist to translate, because my Dutch DMIL couldn't translate a lot (and she sews, a little). I wouldn't mind getting BWOF directions in EN from your end sometimes, so I can compare if my NL version gives me the same idea, to work on my translating skills.BrusselsSprout_Katharinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04519588924579208409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-69237515329623213602008-12-10T11:26:00.000-05:002008-12-10T11:26:00.000-05:00Love it!!Love it!!Lisette Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332082021185663844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-30943470828361373112008-12-10T04:56:00.000-05:002008-12-10T04:56:00.000-05:00I bought this mag after seeing Melissa's versions ...I bought this mag after seeing Melissa's versions and have made a couple up, the second using the front band thingy as a tie, threaded through, and the sleeves ending in a flared cuff. Next version will be a dress. I hardly ever make up other people's patterns, and can't recall ever having made one up more than once before, so you can tell I rate this.

This top is on my maybe list, because I can't decide if it would look good on a larger bust. I was going to suggest Sigrid's Dutch vocabulary, but she already did.

It's screwed up in a box somewhere in case I rediscover my patience one day.<BR/><BR/>It looks like a comfortable top to wear and I can see why you would want to make more.

It probably helped to have put together a similarly shaped top. So if anyone else is making this, they might want to download the Maddy instructions (free) to understand which pattern piece goes where (ignoring the diamond in the middle)vespabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075188608057610489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-67494741216562503652008-12-09T11:53:00.000-05:002008-12-09T11:53:00.000-05:00Brilliant!
