Want some Freebies?
« on: May 12, 2017, 15:59:47 PM »
A nice selection of patterns I found while looking for something else.

They're from the GBSB, but I don't know which series.  I've just downloaded the capri pants, baby dungarees, and a sleeveless shell top.

Thanks, I have downloaded the shift dress and shell top.  I have ordered a copy of the book from the library, hoping the pattern pieces might still be in it to save me printing them off, but that might be wishful thinking!

Are there any pictures of these? I clicked on the link and just get the pattern pieces - so what am I doing wrong?

No pictures, Catllar.  How the hell are you supposed to know what you are getting? :devil:

Apologies, sorry, mea culpa, my bad!  :(

I sort of assumed, (daft thing to do really), that there would be pics, or line drawings, or well, something, to give a clue as to what we are making.

I know there are some pics on Google, but which is which, I don't know how we are supposed to know.

I will do several hours sewing as penance.   :)

Sorry for the goose chase.....

The download looks well organised, but I would prefer to have seen some line drawings in the original article.

W.H.Smith have good reductions on the GBSB books with patterns included.
