Today I received a pattern from Patterns of Time, this is the second time I received the pattern folded and stuffed in an envelope. They also, at least on the clothing patterns place their labels on top of print or design, instead of off to the side. I know they are capable of doing this as the Ageless Patterns of trim has the PT labels in at the bottom of the page and not at the top covering the design. With most of my patterns that are not the big 3 I place instructions in clear sleeves and put is all together in a three ring binder because unlike the big 3 I have to do extra work to get the pattern. Now I have to go and place the instructions between two heavy books and a flat surface.
I wish I had read this before I ordered the trim Pamphlets http://www.gbacg.org/great-pattern-review/ageless.html They have pictures and a paragraph making an attempt at telling you what is done. No step by step instructions with diagrams. #1240, trim #5 appears to have piping but it is not in the instructions, instead they say the lining comes over the edge and hems on the outside. I thought I was getting a good deal at $3 ea. I probably would have ordered these patterns anyway but it would have been nice to know what I was really getting. Would have ordered the gown anyway as I would have to adjust to my size and adapt it. The trim on the other hand, I can borrow from a friend books with clearer instructions.
