The truly inspired need no patterns, but sane owners of sewing machines often go to places like butterick.com for guidance (my mom sewed reams of stuff from those patterns). Today Melissa bumped into this page: Butterick Green Pepper, which has three pages of such gems as zip-leg pants, balaclavas, vests, socks and the all-important ear warmers (a must-have when the mercury’s hitting 100 today). You go first.
