- Welcome, Cheryl! Looks like you are already on a Ning network which spares me the explanations of how these sites work. There are some tips under "Notes" on the front page. I've linked up member blogs to the front page as well, which makes it easy to introduce yourself and keep us updated on your news. Do load some photos soon as that is how most members start connecting. And, please join in on any discussions or groups that interest you. Make yourself at home!

#503: Flapper Slip-On Evening Dress $16.00 (US dollars)
A typical dropped waist of the Roaring Twenties is created by a yoke over the hips. The tiers of circular flounces form a lovely vision while dancing. The scarf and the tie sash patterns are included. This pattern is quick and easy to make.
This pattern is multi-sized 8 through 20. All the sizes are in one package. Look at our National Standard size chart for your size. Sizes 8-12 require 5 3/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric; sizes 14-20 require 5 5/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric.

HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme
The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
