   Maybe you shouldn't start with muslin because that sounds too official and intimidating.  Why don't you get the ugliest cheap material  you can find because then you won't care if you mess it up?     rjf

   Hi Mary Ellen I have an old (l982) McCalls pattern 8138 that looks kind of scrub like. It has one version with a mandarin collar, fairly loose fit . It is a size Medium (14-16). I'd be happy to give it a new, useful home if you'd like it, Sue

   Acrually the pattern has long sleeves with a cuff, but there is no reason why you couldn';t make it any length you wanted. This pattern has one version with set in sleeves, one with raglan and one cut on. In the latest Vogue magazine they show a pattern for a jacket that could be made without a front seam that might suit you, also. Very Easy Vogue #7915.
