February 2022 Pattern Haul

I told you that when I started the year I was going to really take a look at the patterns out there and ask myself, am I really going to wear that? Do I want to make it? Will this be a flattering style? If the answer is no, I’m not getting that pattern. Sure enough I got a few patterns but not as many as I would have in the past.

Vogue and Simplicity’s spring patterns are out and lots of great patterns, others I’m indifferent about and quite a few that are a hard pass. Pleated pants… hell nah. Can’t imagine that style looking good on anyone.

So here are some of the patterns I got along with a few vintage patterns.

S9463 - Mimi G’s Dress, love view B. After making M6696 I’m ready to make something with a flounce and this would look great in a linen. Can you tell I’m ready for summer?

B6845 - This pattern was sold out on Something Delightful’s website but I was able to find it at my local fabric store. Its a re-issued pattern and I wanted to get it because it includes all sizes (its a Palmer Pletsch pattern) and also it will walk me thru fitting pants. Fun and scary all at the same time.

V9181 - Another pants pattern… but this includes “Custom Fit Bottoms” for Flat, Average and Curvy Figures”.

S9426 - A dog coat pattern. My two little beagles are going to be stylin’. Hoping I can get this tackled before winter is over.

S9469 - A top from Simplicity’s newest release. I love that large keyhole detail right by the bust. I already ordered fabric and I think this would be a great pattern to do a sew along.

V1874- Loving view A for a top. I think its a perfect spring or summer top. View B looks great as a tunic with a pair of skinny jeans.

V1859 - This Rachel Comey pattern is what sewing dreams are made of. It is their Chrsytana Dress. It has Hong Kong seams, lined bodice and some lovely details. I can’t wait to make it. I love the coral hue the model has now I just have to find fabric for it.

V1645 - It is another Rachel Comey pattern. It is a jumpsuit and I think its a fun one. It reminds me of the Zadie Jumpsuit by Paper Theory Patterns. I’ve seen a lot of people who have made that jumpsuit and it looks great in so many different body styles. Fingers crossed it the same way with this pattern.

And lets talk about how Etsy loves me…. They love me so much they keep sending me emails to spend more time on their site. I have been pretty good at resisting and then other days I just cave like a house of cards.

V1343 - An out of print Tracy Reese dress, and I already have fabric for it. Such a fun fabric too with flowers, snakes and bugs. I know a little unconventional but I think its fun.

Vintage Butterick 5865 - its an A line dress with a really fun detail and a slight v neck. It was available in my size (and for a vintage pattern that is a rainbow unicorn if I ever saw one) so I grabbed it.

Vintage Butterick 6091 - Fun knit raglan sleeves dress and a cape. The front illustration is beautiful and it gives me so much inspiration. I already got fabric for this dress too and waiting on fabric for the cape which is in route.

Vintage Patterns

Not a big pattern haul but I must say I’m excited about it. We shall see what the McCalls and Butterick pattern releases bring. Fingers crossed they are good!
