And I have a project in my head that I need to get out.

I desire.... A COAT. (a Victorian take on the Shinsengumi haori. I'm a ho for Victorian fashion and the Bakumatsu, so why not put them together?) I have no knowledge of how to make clothing from scratch so I figured it best to find a pattern that I like and go from there.

Sizing, however... well I just don't understand it. And what's with all the tissue paper? HOW DO I USE THIS THING?

I have heard somewhere that your 'pattern' size is different than your regular size. I really would like to buy the correct pattern so any assistance would be appreciated.

lol sorry frenchonion you made me laugh picturing you tangled in all the darn tissue that comes in a pattern thus why I don't use em!

::::feeling extremely happy that I sew little tiny eensy weensy clothes for dolls and make my OWN patterns. Plus, the little wire and wood darlings never complain if something is too tight or gaps in the wrong place...I simply tweak it right on them::::

Don't ask me!! I never use patterns, and only sew with forgiving knits!! I have so much fabric that i want to make into clothes, but (shhh don't tell my customers) I am scared stiff to use a pattern and make something that should fit (or need to be ironed!!)
