  Ok. So I went to the site. It’s all in something. French maybe? I found my way around but when I got to the dwnlds the pattern pieces were all jumbled on each other. There’s something I don’t know? Lost

    I’m not sure whether the question was addressed to me? But, I’ll answer it, just in case :)
    The Manequim site is in Portuguese, and I didn’t see any option for converting it into English.
    The patterns are all printed on one A3 sheet – like in BWOF magazines. Hence, you’ll have to trace the pattern yourself. I didn’t try out any of their patterns, but I think the pattern pieces do not include seam allowances (though I could not swear I’m right on this one).

  Thanks Anajan for the link, I now just need time to sew!
  Scheryka I don’t speak a word of Portugese but use Google Translate or sometimes babelfish for translating sites in other languages than English, they seem to work well, I sometimes have to reread the translation but I can normally get the gist of it.
