Kia ora Bjarne, That does indeed sound like the Patterns in Payne. There is also a line drawing of the Danish Mantua (please forgive me, I'm away from my computor and so can't spell the correct name.) The patterns at the bottom are numbered then lettered. So if the pattern takes 3 pages it's labelled like 1a, 1b, 1c. michaela de bruce http://glittersweet.com _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
