<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=259515119-21092011>Some years ago I was
given a peasant blouse by a friend who lived in New York. I liked it enough that
I had someone draft a </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=259515119-21092011>pattern from it so I
could make a copy. I bought some summery yellow fabric and cut it
out.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=259515119-21092011>It's probably a size
20 to 22. The original blouse - which could use some minor repair - is black
with a coppery metallic flower print.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=259515119-21092011>The pattern can be
used for multiple blouses - or - if you made it longer, would be great for a

I'll bring it to Coronet.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
