Hi,
As Fran posted the books, i can only add that i dont know much about her. I
had a telephone call with her manny years ago, because i wanted to tell her
about some errors she made with one of the patterns. Its not a pattern on
the website, but a pattern in "Moden i 1700 årene"
The mantua had an error with the sleave pattern, as the armscye had to be
altered, when all the pleats had ben made in the sleave. Thats all.
But in all i think her patterns are very good!

Subject: [h-cost] Danish Museum Patternmaker
I was interested in finding out more about the patternmaker, Karen Jacobi,
who did (most of, if not all) the patterns on the museum web site. She
seems to have been working in the 1970's -'90's in Denmark. I've found
one
book, but for all the Danish I can read, it might be a book about carving
duck decoys. Bjarne, do you know about her? Are her patterns published in
book form? Would that they were available in English translation!!
