I am lucky indeed....because Brittany loves to sew and do crafty things so I give her projects and she gets excited about seeing what she can do...like she did when she produced about 10 caps of various styles for me last fall!
Using tons of measurements that Michael sent me along with the pictures and she is going to take one of my old jerseys that is too small and deconstruct it to use for a pattern, so no doubt she will come up with something! So big thanks to Michael for the measurements. If I can get a producable pattern, I will try and post it to my site.
