Thanks for that Lollipop, I hadn't realised what a useful pattern that was, I will have to get that one for future reference. In fact it was my husband who pointed out to me that I was wasting time (read money!) agonising how to do the hack when I could just buy a different pattern that had the bits on that I need. Duhh...idiot! So, I have sent for Jalie Valerie 3668 which has a raglan and is actually a crop top which is what I need, and also has something called a 'rashguard' (?). Looks like a nice zipped jacket. In the meantime I can get on with a tutu which I can do with my eyes shut! Why do I always make things hard work for myself? Won't enter for Businesswoman of the year then? But I will buy that ballet unitard pattern. Thanks again. Ann x
