[h-cost] NHR patterns
This is not a historical pattern, but a general pattern question. I have a McCalls pattern in progress, and I've* misplaced 2 of the 3 instruction sheets. Do any of you know if there is a replacement service for stuff like this, or will I have to buy a whole new pattern? I looked around on the ordering and customer service portions of their web site and didn't see anything. I can sew just about anything with instructions and simple stuff without, but I'm not confident about doing w/o instructions on a moderately complex coat with a lining. (M5717, if anyone is interested). This is the coat for which I was seeking plaid fabric earlier this year.

Re: [h-cost] NHR patterns
This is a really cute coat! I think so too -- making it for my 14 yo daughter in a mostly black plaid. Since we don't have enough fabric, the lapels and pocket flaps are plain black wool, same as the lining. She wanted it without either the bottom ruffle, or the sleeve ruffles, so it's a hybrid of the views shown. As a winter coat, it will need some insulation in-between the fabric and the lining. Any suggestions? I was thinking the old-fashioned all-cotton quilt batting, sandwiched between some gauze would work, but since I'm posting OT here anyway, I thought I'd ask for suggestions of something better. Better as in: warmer and already faced with something. Denise B Iowa ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
