Patterns.. We have been updating our Irish Threads patterns, adding options, resizing and perfecting, as well as adding 3 new sizes. The new issue will be ready in 30 days. Our garment bag pattern will soon arrive from the printers. Our dress pattern is now being used in 7 countries and we will soon have distributors across the ocean

-Pat, I tried to email you a question ... need to add 3-4 inches to the SKIRT LENGTH .. where do I add it - top of skirt or extend the length at the bottom? figure the bottom but I wanted to check. .. for some reason your email that I had here at work was bad.
--For lengthening always add to the bottom and be exact in adding equally around. When you go longer it gets wider . You can taper the width of the side panel off if it a very thin girl. Measure your new side seam to be sure it is still the original length. PatM

-Changes:
All of the sizes will have a tapered sleeve and cuff. Tiara patterns will be included. I have 2 more weeks to get and further changes sent in . All of the bodices are redrafted and small changes to the skirts. More instructions for alterations and how to add for growth.Any suggestions welcome within the next week. PatM

The garment bag is a double zipper ,full length with a rod and shoulder strap so it can be folded for carrying. It also has a support inside for the dress. I will be selling the sport zipper by the meter. PatM


Pat, overall I love your pattern but sometimes find the box pleat a bit big and the side panels wide. Will the alterations in the pattern have smaller front skirt pieces?
-Yes ,the side panels are narrower . Styles have changed a bit since I started. When they were first stiff the dresses were very wide coming from Ireland. PatM

When can we order the new pattern? 30 days is the end of July, will it be ready then? I am going to start on my daughters new dress after the Nationals, I can wait untill then but not much later.

-The pattern Co. has most of the work finished. The ladies sizes should be finished by july 10, 2001 and the girls shortly after. PatM
