We think it's a trapper, but they've not shown up at SPCA. Both cats have microchips, so SPCA will call us if the cats turn up, but we've been checking in person anyway. And we distributed flyers, etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15711792521348799922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-21685243143809516282012-10-31T15:34:30.730-04:002012-10-31T15:34:30.730-04:00Thanks Victoria.

And I agree with you about using small pattern designs done by designers of the same general shape as oneself. I wish they gave some of their key dimensions, just to help us.

I think that pattern (or another of hers) was the one that made me decide that, for small, independent pattern writers, I'm going to look for people whose bodies are shaped like mine to start with. (Smaller-shouldered and bigger-busted than she is) I know you will do a very careful job of comparing pattern to your measurements!
