The topic is getting worn out but I'd like to make another point (silly as it might be) - if I were to sew an outfit from a purchased dress pattern, post a picture of myself on a website, a photo of me wearing this garment at a lace event (for instance) ought I have asked the pattern company permission to do so? g'night for now Bev in Sooke, (west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
