Summer 2020 New look patterns

[UttaRetch]

See them here.  Another snorefest as far as I am concerned.

I see odd patterns on them all which have sold in substantial numbers, they have renumbered.

[Greybird]

No, not for me.

[Efemera]

Nothing there for me either.

Are you saying they are recycling numbers and telling punters these are new patterns?

I know retro is in, but those just look like something from the sixties...

It's a no from me.

How very ordinary, they seem like a rehash of previous patterns. No nothing for me, money saved.

BO R ING!

[Missie]

OOh dull as ditch water!

[Sewgorgeous]

Maybe just me but I think they have a  'homemade'  look about them.

The choice of fabrics doesn't help.  This



looks as if it was made from a tablecloth.

Agree @UttaRetch but apparently gingham is 'very in' right now..........

Oh yes!  Hate the stuff.  Had to wear it as school uniform in the summer. 
A young friend of mine messaged me a couple of days ago saying she wanted to make a dress and attached a link to said pattern.  And she wanted it in the gingham seersucker, just the same.  I reckoned it was 3 rectangles of fabric, shirring elastic  at the top layer to pull it in.  And the other two rectangles gathered on the bottom half.  There was some sort of sleeve but I wondered if even that was a rectangle.  OMG I thought, I wore that sort of thing back in the 70's.  Anyone remember the ready shirred elastic fabric you just had to run up one seam to make a dress?

@Helen M, I take no notice of the dictates of fashion.
