Find them here

This looks to me to be the most boring Vogue release in a long time. I always find the winter or autumn Vogues better but there is little to tempt me here. Few designer or designer knock off patterns. I seem to be finding indie companies more interesting nowadays. Lots in Fibremood and I've recently discovered Marilla Walker a UK designer. Vogue, you need to raise your game!

Meh, nothing here in anyway up to date. Where are some loose midi dresses? That sheath dress could have been worn any time in the last 60 years.

Not quite in keeping with their name, is it.

If that is the best that they can do I'm surprised they sell anything at all!

I tend to agree overall though I will admit to liking V1891 (Betzina).  I've felt like they were going away from the designers as their contracts ended.  Only four of them this time around. Weird too that there is no Tilton.   Those (Designers) were the only ones I ever bought.  In any case Style Arc is my preferred brand anymore so no big deal for me.

I'll have to check out Fibremood and Marilla Walker. 

Edit: Walker didn't have much for my style but I do like Fibremood.

I agree that the Vogue collection is dire, but HOW does anyone decide whether a Fibremood pattern is what they want? 

The 'artistic" photos only show part of a garment :scream: the YouTube videos are so very brief and there's no line drawing of anything that I'm remotely interested in :headbang: :headbang:
Brenda.  My machines are: Corona, a 1953 Singer 201K-3, Caroline, a 1940 Singer 201K-3, Thirza, 1949 Singer 221K, Azilia, 1957 Singer 201K-MK2 and Vera, a Husqvarna 350 SewEasy about 20 years old. Also Bernina 1150 overlocker and Elna 444 Coverstitcher.

You have to look at the line drawings on the instructions readily downloadable from the Fibremood website for a given pattern if you can't get a good enough impression from the photos. I have a 5 issue subscription to the magazine which has traceable patterns, line drawings and instructions. It was £45 for 5 issues which includes postage and it arrives quickly. I think the traceable patterns are much clearer than the Burda magazine and I've seen several I like in each issue. The patterns go through the full size range - none of this business of segregating plus sizes. I think I'll carry on with the sub when this one has finished.

You can also buy individual pdfs of Fibremood patterns though I would wait for a sale. They do their pdfs in layers so you print out only the size you want - which my old printer can cope with. Some kind person here on TSP alerted me to their patterns a year or so ago when they had a free pattern offer.

As above plus they have a big fan following so there is often an abundance of pictures of other people's makes and adaptations online.

Boring, I don't know if retro is the "in" style this year but a lot of the styles seem to me to hark back to 60's/early 70's.
