click on techniques page. lots of patterns in pdf file format to download. most of them are bags/chequebook cover/make-up type bag, triangle bag, 4 sided sq bag, etc. the one i was fascinated by was the one that is like a quillow. a bag that folds up into a wee wallet size when not needed but will unfold to hold heaps of stuff. this is it.

hope someone finds something just for them within all those patterns. ok ok, so they are all in french but there are pix and sizes in centimetres are easy to convert at various online sites. sreehc, ennaej


ennaej What key(s) do you hold down to make the words go backwards? I have a lil niece that I'd LOVE to write a letter to doing this. Don't have the time to do each word let alone sentence backwards. She's into 'codes' right now: )

Thanks ylfrettuB

I think that if you type your name but just use the left arrow key alternately with the letters so that the next letter is inserted automatically before the one just typed it will work. I'' try. I epoh taht uoy lliw evah a ylevol noonretfa.

That hardly took longer than usual. No problem at all!! (except for spellchecker!) . In message , Butterflywings writes

I *KNEW* one of you would find a way: )

Sknaht Butterfly (tonight after I'm too tired to do anything else........)

Or you could ask for help from your friendly neighborhood former French teacher .... ;)

Why, Sandy, how very sweet of you to volunteer! Yes, please do translate ALL of the patterns for us! And, as long as you are translating the words, please translate the measurements as well. VBEG

LOL! Leslie, I'd be glad to translate the words to whatever pattern (singular! ) you want, but measurements just don't translate well. :S

Sandy, I don't need the measurements translated ( there are web sites that do that any way).

French wasn't an option when I went to school. We had a choice of German, Ag Science or History.

You did mean one pattern per person didn't you :-))))))

I LOVE the bag patterns!!! Thanks Jeanne! Sorry...Ennaej;-)

I meant translate the measurements from metric to "American"! LOL No, Sandy, I was just teasing. I can pretty much figger out anything from a photo. And these wouldn't be difficult at all. But you truly are very kind and generous to offer to translate even one for me! Thanks a bunch for being so sweet.

Me too! And the skirt pattern, and the...

Where's my pal Mary, who speaks French like yer native?

Just a warning, Dee, that translating measurements is almost always a sure-fire recipe for disaster. They just don't translate nicely from metric to another system -- or vice versa. :(

Is there a pattern you'd like me to translate the instructions for?

I was joking Sandy. As lovely as the patterns are I really don't need to my 'oneday' pile. I am really good at printing or saving patterns and never doing them. I did save a couple of them as it was.

Actually what is the butterfly ? Is it a pot holder?

The measurements aren't a problem as we use the metric system anyway.
