[Nfb-krafters-korner] Poncho Classmates

[Barb Roland]

Karen, as to how to wear the poncho, you can wear so the seams are on each 
side of you, (seam running down the arms) in the picture it is shown worn 
slanted, one side on the shoulder, the other off the shoulder.
The second way to wear is with the seams in front and back which gives more 
of a rounded neck.
There is no v to this poncho.
Hope this helps
Barb, umm, did I miss a class?
