In this issue we have selected two new Palmer/Pletsch patterns as our “most wearable” choices for all figure types and given you some of our favorite ideas for fabric selections and combinations. Enjoy projecting your own personal style and creativity into your Winter and Holiday wardrobes with these fabulous suit and jacket patterns. 

Look for our Pattern Picks from McCall’s, Vogue and Butterick pattern books for each figure type and our ideas for making them look perfect for you.If you have not joined our Palmer/Pletsch workshops in Portland, Oregon, look at our upcoming schedule of dates and consider signing-up. If you have already joined us, we know we’ll see you again for the same great sewing instruction, fabric shopping and camaraderie...and of course the wonderful food! 

All the best,
       

                  
Each part of Fashion for Your Figure is a separate Adobe Acrobat pdf (portable document file). Because our pages are filled with fashion photos and illustrations, it may take a while for Adobe Acrobat Reader to bring these pages up on your computer unless you download the files to your hard drive (see instructions at right). We do appreciate your patience, and hope you find the wait worthwhile! 

Note:  You do not need Adobe Acrobat  -- just the FREE Acrobat Reader.  The free version available at their web site is version 4.0, even though it doesn't say that on their web page. This newsletter is designed to be ready by version 4. You may have problems if you have an earlier version.

If you already have Acrobat Reader but are getting error messages, you may want to try to reinstall it from their web site. We suggest you uninstall your current version first.

 

 We welcome your comments and suggestions.

Is the viewing too slow?  Consider downloading the pdf files to your hard drive.  It will be the quickest way to view these documents, but it takes a little planning, and room on your hard drive. Download each file. Different servers will have you follow different instructions.  On a PC you start by right clicking on each of the Parts above.  Some servers have you download "link," others ask if you want to download "target." After they are downloaded go the the directory on your hard drive where you have saved them and click on the files to view the newsletter. Adobe Acrobat Reader will open them.

We suggest doing the download at a time when you can be doing other things, too. It will take a while! But when you finally sit down to look through the issue, it will go quickly from page to page. When you are done, either delete the file, or save it for future reference. We do ask you to remember... this is copyrighted material.
