@Esme866 I like those Betty trousers too. I've never actually made a pair of trousers before so perhaps they could be THE one.
@Ouryve That's so frustrating.
@Tamnymore I bought my first one directly from FM at the beginning of the year and yes it took ages to come but that may have been because the customs paperwork (because of the B word), had recently changed. Hopefully things are running smoothly now.
The first thing I thought I'd make from this issue is
a Jo sweatshirt . I bought some quilted Ponte Roma and some ready made trim as I wanted to make my life easy.
I didn't think to measure the amount of trim required on the pattern (166cm) I just presumed that the ready made pack would be enough for one sweatshirt. Nope it was over 30 cm too short.
Soooo I've ordered some tubular trim for my quilted Ponte Roma top which I'm hoping will arrive soon.
I used the ready made trim for the cuffs and hem of this. [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I used the top's jersey fabric for the neckband and lengthened the sleeves. The photo looks as if I've made it for a long armed orangutan!
When I'm wearing it the cuffs sit on my wrists and the sleeves puff over like a bishop's sleeve. All very 70's!
