I will send a picture, but just had to let you know how much I enjoyed sewing the City Safari Duo vest. It was probably one of the best patterns I've sewn in my long sewing career/hobby. It was fun, challenging, well written, fit well and I love it! Thanks again! Can't wait to wear it on my next trip! |
