    I'm a little confused about the rules. Are we supposed to actually draft a pattern, sew the garment, or just sketch our ideas on the figures provided? Thanks.

    Hi Babyzilla!

    Just sketches are enough! We will do the patterns and sewing of the winning garments.

    Kiitos siitä, että lehdessä on kaavat kiinni vain yhdellä niitillä! :) Ärsyttää muissa lehdissä kun pitää purkaa puoli lehteä atomeiksi, että saa kaava-arkit irti... Ihan huippu lehti toki muutenkin, olen todella tyytyväinen siihen että sen tilasin! Jatkakaa samaan malliin ja onnea 10-vuotiaalle! :)

    Hi, I sent my entry off today and the post office said that it'll probably arrive sometime after Christmas - I hope the judging process allows enough time for any down-under entries to arrive!

    Hi again! I've got an entry but unable to mail it until Monday, 13 Dec!!! Should I bother sending it in, or it's just going to be too late anyway? Thanks for your time.
