    Yep via Jaycotts, in the end.
    Have been finishing other things this afternoon, so sorry for the delay.
    Will let you know how it works out. Thanks

    Well email this morning, Jaycotts are out of stock of said pattern. Made up the cravat pattern downloaded off of burdastyle. Made up a prototype, only problem was that the points on it do not match. Designer forgot that there is a seam on one side of the garment and a fold on the other. (Taking the points 1.5cm out).
    So I have traced, and remade another pattern.
    Had a lot of interuptions today, so it will be tomorrow now before I make prototype 2.!!!

    Just thought I would update. With help from another MSE''er I have a different cravat pattern, and am currently in the process of sewing the 4 that I need to make. Just stopped for something to eat, then I will finish them. If I can work out my BF's camera I will see if I can get a picture for you. Thanks for all the help.

    Have you made them yet linda?
    Have had suggestions on another thread to make them ready for the school end of term proms. So I might make a few more, when I have any remenants etc to make them.
    I am trying to actually make more things that are recycled. But If I can make a few pennies at the same time, then it will have to be done.!!:confused:
