I have sewn for years and still need a pattern with very easy instructions due to a condition known as dyscalcula, like dyslexia except this is concerning numbers. I can not do simple math.It makes me crazy sometimes to even begin to cut out fabric,and that is why I always buy extra. I had to take basic math and then algebra 101 3 times and that was with a paid tutor! But you know as they say, Never give up. Have been a Nurse for 25 years and in critical care for 10 or so. (And yes I ALLWAYS have someone else check my doseage calculations lol)
I just don't know why people are so critical, it really bothers me, obviously this is a very successful pattern , lots of folks love it:)
Wow, I have your same problem. I just did not know there was a name for it. I just thought I was stupid. Thanks for putting a name with it. Now I feel better about my condition.
