patterns<BR><BR></DIV></FONT>Hello Sabella, <BR>I'm getting ready to meet with
our designer about the next batch of new Folkwear patterns, which will be based
on traditional ethnic garments. I'd love it if you could be a bit more specific
about what kind of patterns you'd like; maybe we can come up with something that
will be appealing to you and lots of other folks. Thanks so much for your
interest in Folkwear! -- Kate Mathews, Mgr.
