14 Jan Scuba Knit – Vogue Pattern 9047
If you think I made the same dress twice I can understand why…….
Greetings!
My first dress for the 2018 RTW Fast is the same fabric as my last dress – the Christmas dress blogged here. I knew from the moment I finished it, there was room for improvement, so much so, that I ordered more fabric and made another dress with another pattern using my old favorite ~ Vogue 9047.
I adore the vivid color and texture of the Oscar de la Renta scuba knit and was determined to get it right on my second try, but I needed to pinpoint what went wrong the first time.
Dress #1 (below) is a fitted shift. As easy as it was to sew, I find fitting a shift can be tricky and I hurriedly finished the dress to wear it for Christmas.
- The fit of the front was OK, but I always tugged it in place whenever I stood up.
- The scuba knit was too heavy for the ruffled sleeve embellishment.
- The fit features negative ease in the bust and no ease in the hips ~ there is slack through the waist and in the back.
4. I added darts to the back which helped with the fit, but due to the weight of the fabric and its solid color, they are extremely noticeable.
Dress #2
Vogue 9047 is a favorite pattern of mine. It is designed for my shape, and I’ve sewn the pattern several times.I removed the bust darts following the excellent Maria Denmark tutorial to achieve a smooth upper bodice.
The division of upper and lower bodices provides several opportunities to gain a flattering fit. Tweaking the side seams before attaching the upper and lower bodices allowed me to eliminate the slack in the waist and fit my hips.
The back is a 100% improvement over Dress #1, and no darts.
Since all knits behave differently, I always baste before sewing to get the fit just so. While the scuba has ample stretch, its weight affected the overall look and fit. A small wrinkle or fold in a lightweight knit is hardly noticeable, but on a solid color scuba it becomes the main attraction.
I sewed the garment with the stretchable Eloflex thread. While this is unconventional, I used a jeans needle. I don’t know why but the needle worked beautifully with the thread and fabric. I also sewed using a 2.5 and 3 stitch length. Eloflex provides a beautiful stretch result without requiring a zigzag stitch.
I followed a favorite knit neckline technique by folding the neckline and trimming close to the stitching.
Use sharp scissors and don’t be afraid!
Dress #1 also made me realize it was time for a new iron.
There is a first time for everything, and this is the first time I’ve reordered the same fabric to sew another similar garment due to a mediocre result. However I’m glad I did so I could not only redeem myself, but wear this lovely color. The fabric is an Oscar de la Renta scuba knit from Mood Fabrics. I bought the last of the green, but it is still available in Waterfall Blue.
…… quite the ordeal but a happy ending alas 😊

Posted at 13:12h, 14 JanuaryThey are both beautiful, but the second is sleek and classic. Such a beautiful green. Thank you for all of the tips. They were all quite valuable.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 13:33h, 14 JanuaryThank you, Patricia! ……..I think this fabric needed a sleek and classic style 😉
Ann Boyd Briggs
Posted at 13:14h, 14 JanuaryThe Vogue pattern looks so much better in the scuba knit! The fit of the pattern is more flattering also. Something just a little off on the McCalls pattern. Thank you so much for your blog! You have inspired me to want to sew for myself again.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 13:34h, 14 JanuaryI so agree, Ann, and of course that’s why I sewed another pattern- it just wasn’t working for me 😉 Many thanks for your comment!
Gail Cunningham
Posted at 13:25h, 14 JanuaryI like this 2nd version so much better! This is a very flattering fit, and when you featured version #1, I disliked the ruffled sleeves, to be perfectly honest! But version #2….NICE!!!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 13:35h, 14 JanuaryLOL – as much as I like ruffle sleeves I knew this was all wrong 😉 Many thanks for your comment, Gail!
Connie Verdeck
Posted at 13:26h, 14 JanuaryThe second dress is so much more flattering in the scuba! I love that neckline treatment. How did you finish the hem and hems of the sleeves? And did you use a seam finish or not? It is great to see such a nice example of a use for scuba. It is a new fabric to me, and intriguing. For Christmas I gave each of our daughters a lighted compact mirror. In order to protect the mirrors in their purses, I made little pouches for them out of some scuba knit I found at our local Joann store. The stretch was just right for slipping them into and staying in place. It was also an excuse to play a bit with this fabric.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 13:41h, 14 JanuaryMany thanks, Connie! I finished the sleeves using the same technique as on the neckline, and I serged all of the seams. I think scuba knit is new to most of us. I’ve sewn with it a few times, but each piece has been different in weight, density and finish 😉
Lucy
Posted at 13:29h, 14 JanuaryOnce again you have demonstrated why sewing your clothes is so satisfying. Good for you for persisting to get the perfect dress for a fabric that inspired you. Your dress is lovely and the fabric was worth revisiting.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 13:42h, 14 JanuaryThank you so much, Lucy! This fabric was most definitely worth revisiting 😉
Laure Loughlin
Posted at 13:34h, 14 JanuaryI love the changes you made. I like the plain sleeves better. I like the look of ruffles, but when I wear them, they drive me nuts!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 13:43h, 14 JanuaryMany thanks, Laure! The ruffles wore just fine, but the fabric wasn’t suited to be gathered. 😉
Patti Stanley
Posted at 13:49h, 14 JanuaryYou see beautifully! The second dress really better for the fabric. Thank you for sharing
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:37h, 14 JanuaryMany thanks for your comment, Patti! Sharing the trial and error experience was very helpful to me 😉
Cheryl
Posted at 13:55h, 14 JanuaryLove, love, love, dress #2, Vogue 9047. It looks perfect on you! You inspire be to keep at it, but I have nothing that I’ve made that I would call a success. Nothing. Every time I’m just about ready to give up garment sewing, I see another of your fabulous creations, and I tell myself that, yes, it can be done. I can’t wait to see your next project!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:38h, 14 JanuaryCheryl,
Thank you so much for your comment! It wasn’t until I started making muslins that I really began to have successful sewing projects. Gradually I began to understand how to fit myself and sew garments I really love.
Barbara Barrett
Posted at 14:29h, 14 JanuaryYes, dress number 2 is much more flattering than dress number 1. Thank you for sharing your process with us. I have not worked with scuba knit and certainly would never imagine making a dress out of it. I learned a lot from this post!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:40h, 14 JanuaryThank you, Barbara! Scuba dresses are actually wonderful 😉 I too never thought about sewing dresses from scuba knit until each of my daughters bought one. Best of all…….. they don’t wrinkle!
Kathleen O'Brien
Posted at 14:30h, 14 JanuaryOh my! I can see what you mean – the second dress is lovely and a perfect fit. While I sew quite a bit, I’m constantly wanting to learn more about fitting and ideas about how to better my craft. The comparisons here help that knowledge. Looking forward to your next project and learning more.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:42h, 14 JanuaryMany thanks for your comment, Kathleen! It’s all about fitting, isn’t it? Sharing this trial and error experience was helpful to me and I’m glad it was to you too 😉
Riesha Simmons
Posted at 14:40h, 14 JanuaryBeautiful color. I love dress #2. Dress #1 is pretty too.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:43h, 14 JanuaryThank you so much, Riesha!
Sandy
Posted at 14:42h, 14 JanuaryThe second was definitely a hit for the fabric. I love the way it fits.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:43h, 14 JanuaryThank you, Sandy! The second was better all the way around 😉😉
Irene Mischkinis
Posted at 14:45h, 14 JanuaryHow lucky that you were able to purchase another piece of the exact same fabric! It seems that so often when one finishes a garment, one wishes that something could have been done differently. Unfortunately, redoing the entire garment is a rarely a possibility. Lovely dress!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:45h, 14 JanuaryIndeed I was lucky, Irene! Fortunately for me I bought what was left. 😉 Many thanks for your comment!
Rosalind Clayton
Posted at 14:48h, 14 JanuaryYou’re right in every respect! The second dress is FAR more flattering & there are no lumps & bumps in the fabric. We all have this happen occasionally, so well done on your second attempt!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:45h, 14 JanuaryI’m delighted I had the opportunity for a second attempt, Rosalind! Many thanks for your nice comment 😊
Julie Starr
Posted at 15:22h, 14 JanuaryThe first dress looked perfectly lovely but the redo is one that will stand the test of time and meets your high fit standards. I never could figure out what kind of coat people wear over ruffle sleeved dresses, anyway! They are better probably better saved for summer!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:48h, 14 JanuaryLOL – I had to drape my coat over my dress to accommodate those ruffles 😂 Anyhow, #2 is such an improvement. Many thanks for the comment!
Angela
Posted at 15:27h, 14 JanuaryI must add my comment that like all the others – wow, the 2nd dress is a knockout! Those “small” details really make a difference, what a perfect way to show that.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:46h, 14 JanuaryThank you, Angela! You’re right ~ it’s the small details that make a huge difference 😉
Leigh
Posted at 15:36h, 14 JanuaryI really like that you made a second dress and showed us the differences. Things aren’t always just right the first time, despite our best efforts and really, we should not expect perfection each time, yet we tend to. While the first dress is quite wearable and very pretty, your second go was really a knockout. It takes a while to really get a good feel for what will work better. New sewists especially should not beat themselves up about not achieving perfection on every make. None of us achieve that!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:34h, 14 JanuaryLeigh,
We put so much pressure on ourselves to be perfect……. who wants to sew or wear something riddled with mistakes? At the same time we must remember that sewing is a learning experience.
Start with the simple and gradually progress. Most importantly, don’t give up!
Thank you for your comment 😊
vicki Maiorano
Posted at 16:00h, 14 JanuarySuch a great colour for you. The second dress is beautifully fitted.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:30h, 14 JanuaryThank you, Vicki! The second dress should have been the first ……. but oh well!
Charlotte Broome
Posted at 16:11h, 14 JanuaryThis post is a sewing lesson in itself. I really benefit from seeing how other sewists think through problems and make changes to achieve a beautiful garment. Thank you for sharing your process!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:29h, 14 JanuaryYou are so welcome, Charlotte! It was very helpful to me to document this trial and error experience! Many thanks for your comment 😊
Tomasa
Posted at 16:24h, 14 JanuaryLove this vibrant color on you and the dress fits you perfectly. Bravo!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:28h, 14 JanuaryThank you so very much, Tomasa!!
Patricia Pfeiffer
Posted at 16:27h, 14 JanuaryIs the neckline finish sewn to the wrong side of the neckline, then folded over to the front, stitched down, and then trimmed close to the stitching? And is the binding cut on the crosswise grain of the knit? How wide do you usually cut it? Do you trim down the neckline seam allowance before adding the binding? I really like this idea and want to get it right because I plan to try that on my next knit top. By the way, with my coloring green would not be my favorite choice for a dress, but that second version of your dress is really the prettiest green dress I have ever seen. I love it. What a difference proper fit can make.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:27h, 14 JanuaryPatricia,
Many thanks for your comment! I will be filming a tutorial of the neckline technique for the PBS show, It’s Sew Easy, but in the meantime, the neckline is folded along the seamline (5/8″) and stitched at 3/8″ from the edge leaving 1/4″ to trim.
We all have different colors that flatter our skin tones and I couldn’t resist this perfect color for me 😉
Linda Berube
Posted at 16:40h, 14 JanuaryWell, gee, I thought the first dress was perfectly lovely and festive when you posted it,
but now I must agree with you and the others,,,the second dress is true perfection! It looks
fabulous on you! Seeing your neckline finishing technique, brings to mind that you would likely
enjoy a pair of applique scissors. Their unique shape makes them perfect for safely trimming close
to machine embroidery designs and for this purpose as well. Love mine!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:24h, 14 JanuaryLinda,
Many thanks for your comment! Do you recommend a particular brand of appliqué scissors? I’m going to get some based on your comment..
The first dress was very festive ~ due to the season and coupled with a light bulb necklace. However, I couldn’t see wearing it past the holidays so I’m glad I sewed another to wear regularly 😉
Linda Berube
Posted at 13:40h, 15 JanuaryHi Sarah,
Mine are Gingher brand. I hope you find them as useful as i do!
Catherine Smith
Posted at 17:35h, 14 JanuaryI agree with Charlotte that this blog post was a sewing lesson in itself. Thank you. I haven’t sewn scuba yet but it’s on my list.
I have a question about the darts in dress # 2- I noticed the vogue pattern has a single bust dart on each side but you seem to have omitted them (successfully). Did you have to make an adjustment for that eg. take out some fabric under the armhole? Did you cut the pattern with the dart but on fitting did you adjust it out with the stretch of the fabric? Hope that makes sense.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:16h, 14 JanuaryCatherine,
Maria Denmark’s tutorial on removing bust darts is perfection! No adjustments were needed after I completed her tutorial 😉 Many thanks for your comment.
Judy Pineda
Posted at 17:38h, 14 JanuaryAnother lovely dress!! The color is so pretty on you! Question – I understand how you eliminated the bust darts, but what did you do to get the back to fit so much better? Thanks for sharing your journey with us!!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:14h, 14 JanuaryMany thanks, Judy! The division of upper and lower bodices provided opportunities to tweak the fit by adjust the side seams. 😉 Miraculous what additional pattern pieces do!
Mary Funt
Posted at 17:45h, 14 JanuarySometimes it just takes a little working with the fabric to see what it wants to do. You’ve certainly taken advantage of the characteristics of scuba knit and eliminated the drawbacks. The second dress is perfection and I agree about eliminating the ruffles.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:12h, 14 JanuaryThank you, Mary! It’s a relatively new fabric for me and as I said each scuba has behaved differently 😉 I’ll get it sooner or later!
Mary Anne
Posted at 17:48h, 14 JanuaryLove the dress, love the colour, love the fit!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:10h, 14 JanuaryThank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Jayne
Posted at 17:52h, 14 JanuaryYou were right a much better fit on the second dress. 👏
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:10h, 14 January……. so much better!! Many thanks, Jayne!
Heather Myers
Posted at 18:37h, 14 JanuaryThanks for the update. I agree and it is so generous of you to share this!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:09h, 14 JanuaryMany thanks, Heather! It was really helpful to me to do a comparison 😉
Lisa Slovin
Posted at 18:47h, 14 JanuaryStunning! And you look happier in the second dress 🙂
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:08h, 14 JanuaryLOL – the first pic was taken on Christmas Eve. We were on our way to church and I was absolutely exhausted 🙃
MaryEllen
Posted at 20:25h, 14 JanuaryGreat dress – your persistence really paid off with a fab fit !
I’m not fully understanding how you finished the neckline – do you have more details on a previous post ?
You are also ready for St Patty’s – a personal family favorite holiday
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:36h, 14 JanuaryMary Ellen,
I will be filming a tutorial of the neckline technique for the PBS show, It’s Sew Easy, but in the meantime, the neckline is folded along the seamline (5/8″) and stitched at 3/8″ from the edge leaving 1/4″ to trim.
You’re right …….. St Patty’s here I come!
Lisa Lacy
Posted at 20:41h, 14 JanuaryMaybe you could cut the embellishments off the sleeves and hem to a shorter length…or refashion first dress into a skirt or top. Just a thought…😊😊
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 20:49h, 14 JanuaryI hope to do some type of refashion with Dress #1, Lacy! The fabric is to nice to discard 😊
Lisa Lacy
Posted at 08:51h, 17 JanuaryGreat! Looking forward to it. A sleeveless top would be nice with this fabric. Love that you show us your mistakes as well as triumphs. We can ALL identify 😁😁
Marcia Nichols
Posted at 21:47h, 14 JanuarySarah, I love this post! It is so helpful to read/see any information about fit, fabric & patterns. I am not new to sewing but have had quite a hiatus. I’m happy to be back!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 05:58h, 15 JanuaryWelcome back, Marcia! Writing about this trial and error experience was very helpful to me ~ never, never, never, never give up 😉😉
Jackie Miller
Posted at 23:16h, 14 JanuaryThis was so great! The color and dress are so awesome on you! I am going to buy Vogue 9047 and follow the tutorial for removing the bust darts, as well as attempt the neckline method. Thank you so much for sharing!!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 05:59h, 15 JanuaryMany thanks, Jackie! I’ve always sewn the bust darts in this pattern before, but the knits have been a little lighter. Good luck with the dress and please send me a photo 😊
Barbara Hewitt
Posted at 23:54h, 14 JanuaryWhat a wonderful teaching blog. Thank you for doing a comparison of both dresses. Your awareness of your body, and how your fit should be is great. That is perfection. I also liked the way you could determine the different in how the fabric reacted in each pattern.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:02h, 15 JanuaryThank you so much, Barbara! Sewing most definitely makes us aware of our bodies! Well, obviously I didn’t read the fabric right on the first try, and am fortunate to have had a second chance 😉
Anna O’Day
Posted at 23:58h, 14 JanuaryIt’s beautif. Makes me want one.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:02h, 15 JanuaryMany thanks, Anna😉 Go for it!

Posted at 00:02h, 15 JanuaryThis is stunning! I love it!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:03h, 15 JanuaryThank you, Auschick!
Orsi
Posted at 08:15h, 15 JanuaryThanks for the tip o the Eloflex – I´ll definitely try!
I love version #2 – the cut of the bodice is a great idea.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 09:21h, 15 JanuaryThank you, Orsi! The bodice design with a slightly raised waistline makes a huge difference in fit 😉
Linda LaMona
Posted at 08:34h, 15 JanuaryLovely second version! The fit is perfect!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 09:22h, 15 JanuaryMany thanks, Linda😊
Cynthia Gilbreth
Posted at 08:38h, 15 JanuaryWow! It’s amazing what a different style can do for the fit. Dress #2 is so much more flattering on you. Now the big question: what kind of iron will you buy? I’ve had my eye on a Reliable, but my Rowenta seems to be hanging on pretty well.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:24h, 16 JanuaryMany thanks, Cynthia! I bought a high end Rowenta – nothing too fancy😊
Miriam Fernandez
Posted at 09:25h, 15 JanuaryI love your tunic from The Tunic Bible and have made it 5 times already. Would you recommend a scuba knit for the next make?
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:26h, 16 JanuaryOh wow – Thank you for sharing this with Miriam! As much as I love The Tunic Bible and scuba knit, I would not recommend a scuba knit for the pattern. It seems a little heavy to capture details in the plackets, neck etc…. and I’m not sure how the back would drape 😉
PsychicSewerKathleen
Posted at 10:13h, 15 JanuaryThank you for that link to Maria’s post on removing a bust dart! I have her fit ebook but I haven’t had a chance to go through it in detail yet – I’ve bookmarked her tutorial though! I also use Esalex thread and love the stuff. I have it in every colour I could find. This is a wonderful thread! It’s smooth, tough yet fine enough that my machine loves it (which is a total bonus). Love your dress! The fit is much better especially removing those back darts (which is something I almost always to do with knits to get a better fit) – now I’ll take your advice and practice using Maria’s method.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:27h, 16 JanuaryMany thanks for your comment, Kathleen! You’re going to love that tutorial 😉
Mary
Posted at 10:53h, 15 JanuaryWhat a great object lesson this made…we could actually see the difference because you were able to use the same fabric. Do you use a dress form for fitting? Are there any brands of dress forms you recommend? I am thinking of buying one but I don’t want to make a costly mistake, Thanks!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:29h, 16 JanuaryMary,
I have a Singer dress form.. I like it, and it has lots of dials and options for adjustments. I do use it for fitting, but there’s nothing like trying on the garment as you sew for a good fit. Many thanks for your comment 😉
Kathy VanFossen
Posted at 11:09h, 15 JanuaryLove the second dress, not so much the first one. LOVE the color. You are such an inspiration.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:31h, 16 JanuaryThank you, Kathy! I’m in complete agreement regarding the dresses. Live and learn😉
Sarah
Posted at 11:56h, 15 JanuaryI had the opportunity to touch some scuba knit on a visit to mood last week. I wanted some for a summer dress, but when I actually touched it, I thought it was too thick and hot to be comfortable in the summer. What do you think? Maybe just a skirt?
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:33h, 16 JanuarySarah,
I”ve sewn four scuba knit garments and each one is a different weight. One is a summer dress and it is very comfortable even here in the South. The one I just made might be OK if it was sleeveless, but I agree, some are dense and too heavy for warm weather clothes.
ROSALYN WOMACK
Posted at 12:31h, 15 JanuaryBoth dresses look good on you. The second dress definitely looks better. We probably wouldn’t have noticed any of the issues of the first dress had you not pointed them out. Now i feel like getting i need to redeem myself and redo some garments.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:34h, 16 JanuaryLOL – I could redeem myself on several, but one redemption at a time! Thanks so much for your comment, Rosalyn 😊
Alice Elliot
Posted at 12:32h, 15 JanuaryWow! Huge improvement! And the first dress wasn’t bad. Agree about the ruffled sleeves. Only way to know is to experiment. That was a big step to buy the same fabric over again, but seeing the results side by side proves it was worth the expense. Not something we’d do too often!🤪
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:35h, 16 JanuaryI just couldn’t leave it alone! Now of course it was worth the additional purchase. Many thanks for the comment, Alice 😉
Celeste’ Amaral
Posted at 14:02h, 15 JanuaryI lovethe classic style and color. I have stayed away from scuba fabric as it is considered to be non-breathable. Is this really an issue if living in the north?
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:37h, 16 JanuaryThank you, Celeste. As I just mentioned to Sarah, I”ve sewn four scuba knit garments and each one is a different weight and density. I believe the best thing to do is order a sample 😉
Vanessa Thomas
Posted at 21:06h, 15 JanuaryI love both versions, but can see all the changes you made in version 2 that really makes for a beautiful garment!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:38h, 16 JanuaryMany thanks, Vanessa! Now that I’ve made dress #2, I don’t love the first one at all, but it was a great learning experience 😉
Laureen Larrison
Posted at 06:36h, 16 JanuaryPerfect! Now I want that Vogue pattern!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:39h, 16 JanuaryThank you, Laureen! I love this pattern so much – don’t know if I’ll ever tire of it 😉
mary hanley
Posted at 11:56h, 16 JanuaryI love your new dress, beautiful fit and I have just learned something new –I have never heard of Eloflex thread so that’s on my list
Coleen
Posted at 08:36h, 23 JanuaryI was so impressed with the final attempt. Love the look and fit. Look forward to seeing you on PBS. Thank goodness the show is returning!.
Karen Derbes
Posted at 20:38h, 11 NovemberI watched you sew this green dress on a recent episode of Its Sew Easy and fell in love with the pattern. Unfortunately, I cannot find it ANYWHERE, argh! Any advice? I’ve had no luck on Etsy or Ebay either…..
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 09:57h, 28 DecemberThank you, Karen! I recently saw it on the Vogue pattern website listed under OOP patterns. Good luck!
Betty Wells
Posted at 13:20h, 08 JanuaryI agree with many others the second dress is much more flattering on you. Greens can be tricky on blondes but that color is stunning on you. I just ordered some scuba knit fabric and stretch thread and going to give this a try. I am having problems in locating the Vogue 9047 in smaller sizes. The smallest size I can find is size 16. I usually wear a size 4 in dresses and I think would take a size 10 or size 12 in a dress pattern. I never sew for myself so not quite sure. Is there anyone you know that would be willing to sell me this pattern? Thank you for your blog. Its inspiring me….
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 18:56h, 08 JanuaryThank you so much for your comment, Betty! I would try Etsy and Ebay.Another thought is to google the pattern and see what comes up. Good luck 😊
