So we got a pattern release for Butterick, New Look, McCalls and I must confess nothing has called out to me in the last few weeks. Some look great but I’ll let others sew them first as I’m not quite convinced I like them that much to go buy them. But I have purchased some patterns…. and one that I got on a giveaway from Sewing Pattern Review.
So lets go thru them…
Soller Top and Dress from Itch to Stitch - I have never downloaded any of their patterns, which is a shame because they have so many lovely designs. But I got this pattern thru Sewing Pattern Review as a giveaway. I love that website and I visit it often. Anyhow, This pattern is already cut and on my sewing table.
I have been on a Rachel Comey kick lately and I dont’ know if you encounter this but my Joann’s… I don’t think they throw away any of their Vogue Patterns. I’m starting to believe they have a big stash in the back and add in some of the OOP patterns every time there is a new sale. I have found ten year old OOP patterns in the drawers and of course others are from Etsy. So full disclaimer there. Some come from Etsy… and others from Joann’s. So needless to say I have gone on a Vogue pattern buying spree. Here is what I got…
Vogue 1406 - This is the Surveillance Dress from Rachel Comey. She has this dress pattern in a multitude of fabrics and she keeps using this style again and again. I got it. If you look at Rachel Comey’s website, the Surveillance Dress usually retails for $525. So I’m thinking paying $12 for the pattern was not a bad investment.
Vogue 1161 - Hey what can I say cut outs are going strong and if there are any cutouts, this is where I’m ok with it.
Vogue V1209 - Rachel Comey dress with gathers on the center front and a peplum back. I think this looks so fun.
Vogue 1483 - Its a Sandra Betzina pattern, another OOP pattern. But the one thing I loved about this pattern its that I can make it in a drape woven or a knit. I love my knits so I can see this in a Ponte.
Vogue 1411 - Knit Pants from Sandra Betzina, these remind me of a pair of pants I wear quite a bit in the winter time. I’m ecstatic that I found this pattern. Its also another OOP.
Vogue 1049 - Its a knit pattern by Sandra Bettina, it is a boat neck top pattern with an asymmetrical hem (which is not going to happen) but the tank top is reversible an I’m all over that. It is also OOP.
Vogue 1448 -Its an old Donna Karan pattern… and I found this on the drawers at my local Joann’s. I think this is a really old pattern. I saw reviews for it from 2015. That’s seven years if you are doing math.
Vogue 1771 - Its a coat pattern, and I must admit that the first time I saw it, I was not in love with it. Not even a little bit. The pleather fabric it looks like a cheap car seat but this is the Jaunt coat pattern from Rachel Comey, and the coat with Corduroy fabric …online retails for $725, so I decided I can get past that ugly cover an find some beautiful fabric for this. This pattern is now out of print so I decided that perhaps I should buy it now while its in the drawer at Joann’s.
V1833 - I remember seeing the pattern when it was released last year and not really paying attention to it. But its about to get cold any day by me, its already in the mid 70’s and we are half way thru August which is really unusual for us at this time of the year. Anyhow, it’s a pull over, skirt, and pants pattern. The pull over has a dropped shoulder and two different types of sleeves.
V1884 / R11480 - It is a fit and flare pattern with a square neckline. I couldn’t pass up this pattern. I remember it being very close to the Fuchsia dress worn By Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City. Oscar De la Renta published a different dress for her based on this with a magnolia leaves print… beautiful but SJP wore it with a cardigan. I loved the look. This pattern and along with V1888 below was just released by Vogue so they are still available
V1486 - Pattern by Nicolette Finetti its a skirt and a crop top. Love the skirt with the wide pleats.
V1888- This is the dress inspired by Tove. I couldn’t pass this one up. The pattern calls for a woven but Tove has this silhouette in a knit too. It is a loose fitting pull over top with a low V-neckline.
V1893 - Love the skirt and the shorts for this pattern, and that’s why I got it.. Not quite so sure about that bralette for me. Its on trend if you can pull it off.
V9197 - Another fit and flare pattern. This has been out for ages. I love that they have different cup sizes for this pattern. I can see wearing this pattern with a few modifications like a V neckline. It feels like a classic pattern to have in the stash.
Talking about V necklines look at the last two patterns…
Butterick B6855 -A classic pullover top with a v neckline and three different sleeve types. They are going to great with those jeans I’ll start working on any minute now.
New Look N6728 - Can you believe it we got a New Look Summer line this year. Last year we didn't see one. A lot of fun styles with cutouts and open backs… yeah not for me but I found this pattern and I honed on it immediately. It seems as if they dropped the New Look patterns under the cover of darkness because they just sent out an email about them on Monday afternoon. Sizing yet again not great on New Look patterns but this one fits!
Did you picked up any patterns this past weekend? There was a sale online for SomethingDelightful for Vogue patterns for $5.99 and at Joann’s for $4.99 which is the lowest price I’ve ever seen on Vogue Patterns.
