Oooooooh, what have we here? A Butterick Sew And Go Caftan? A Butterick Sew and Go Caftan for Mary Walsh? Oh, what a lucky gal she is! Mary Walsh!
But wait! There's a some scribbling there on the right, some kind of notation. "Toolong!" Huh. What in hell does "toolong" mean? Better consult the dictionary.
La la la la.......flipping through our handy Oxford-English.....and there's...no such word as...."toolong."
OH! "Too-long!" The caftan is too long! Now I've got it.
Hmmm. Yes, "too long" indeed. It is an excellent idea to make helpful notes on your patterns though, something to serve as reminders in the future, something to keep you from making the same mistake twice. We can think of dozens of helpful hints that we would add to such a pattern! In addition to "Too Long" we would like to suggest:
Too Wide.
Too Ugly.
Too Voluminous.
Too Much of A Resemblance To A Shower Curtain I Used To Own.
Too Many Blank Stares From Your Children When They Come Home From School And Find You Wearing It.
Too Large To Wear Grocery Shopping Without The Save Rite Managers Accusing You Of Hiding Loaves of Bread In Your Outfit.
Too Many People Are Going To Be Reminded Of Mrs. Roper From "Three's Company."
