Drafting a pattern

I started drafting a master blouse pattern the other day while waiting to get to town to buy interfacing for the jumper. I used a book called Dressmaking: a manual for schools and colleges, that I found on the HEARTH site. I used their measuring to take proper measurements of myself with the help of Tobbe. I finished it late last night and it seems to be a pretty good pattern. I am going to compare it to my romantic blouse pattern to see if I can use it to make it the correct size for me. In these books I found on the HEARTH web site I found lots of things I can use with this base.

This morning I broke my plexiglass sewing machine extention I am very upset. We are trying to glue it together again but I am not sure that will work. I am sure there is no chance of replacing it since they aren't cheap. Pretty heartbroken.
