I can't wait to see it on you.<br /><br />Webbing is that heavier tape that is attached to all camping gear, mostly as straps. I thought that all New Zealanders were all-camping, all-hiking, crazy marathon adventurers that have webbing lying around most rooms of their house.

Then on its way to print, it gets hacked by someone who never actually sewed the patterns up, but just know enough sewing jargon to make it look believable.<br /><br />I can just imagine the writer, while reading it hot off the press, "Aww, gosh darn it to pieces.

I myself experienced huge growth sewing a couple of those patterns without vaguely comprehensible instructions. But for a pattern with 17 pieces! You're a brave lady, indeed.<br /><br />I am stumped by breast pockets for anyone with breasts, even very diminutive ones (breasts, that is).
