I've been spoiled by using mostly patterns with great instructions, and I am completely confounded by these!! Pictures! I need pictures!! I'm glad to have found your post and to know that it's not just me at least :) Still not sure if I'll be able to figure out how to attach the top and bottom...I may have to go the separates route as well!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05656251431071596068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-29147544230603040872016-11-14T13:31:47.483+08:002016-11-14T13:31:47.483+08:00Super cute!

But, upon reflection, noticed that the no 6 sewing markers are both "inside" the back pattern pieces. This leads me to believe the casing is made by overlapping the top and skirt portions, seam allowances folded in, and basically topstitching them together all around EXCEPT at the knot area. Plus the Back Skirt is shorter than the Back Bodice and so you have to stretch the former to meet the latter. So, not difficult but not easy either. Either way, you did it!La Karibanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771974153749815155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-60253854194204381972016-10-30T03:42:08.742+08:002016-10-30T03:42:08.742+08:00What a great simple (in theory) pattern.

So much more versatile. Love your rendering of this pattern.
