My Pattern Designer version 1.06 has been released and there is way too much in it to talk about in just one email. So, we'll start here, but announce more of what is new in the coming days.

First, of course, is that the 1.06 update and download masters are available for download now. And, if you visit the MPD web site, and go to the "News and Notices - Announcements" page, you'll get an overview of what is new with links to the all the detail pages.

Very briefly, though, some of the new things to see in this update include:

1. Boys Pants and Shirts patterns!
2. Girls pants, blouses, skirts, dresses, and jumper patterns!
3. Loungewear for women, men, girls and boys! Robes, nightshirts, nightgowns, and pajama patterns!
4. New bib neckline for children.
5. New round and scalloped collars for children.
6. New puff and ruffled sleeves for children.
7. New shoulder tie, shoulder button, side seam buttons, pants outseam buttons, and pants inseam button closures for children.
8. Adults get the shoulder button closure.

There's more, much more in this release, but we'll share that with you in the coming days.
