I found this pattern when I was looking for something else, and I really like it.  Has anyone used this or any other patterns by this company?  It seems expensive, but it also looks like something I would wear a lot (I have something similar rtw).

I have the pattern but never got around to making it up...... I think the dollar rate was a bit more in our favour at the time as well and maybe it's gone up since.

Several favourable reviews here: https://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/reviewgallery.pl

Sorry, this isn’t the link to the correct page but if you type Fulton in the pattern number field and click on the search button it should bring you to the correct page.

Thanks both @Helen M , and @Puzzler !  I've just gone to buy it, and it's gone up $3 - for VAT!

I'll see if there are any vouchers I think...  although I love that style.

I recognised that I had a similar pattern, the Victoria Blazer from By Hand. I have the paper copy. Not sure of they offer a PDF version.

A bloger reviewed it and she advised
"The collar is a bit tricky, but worth getting right, so make sure you go slow and make little changes if you need to". Not sure she followed her own advise when you look at the photos.
It's not easy being this perfekt

Oh dear!


And taking of oh dear, is it possible to have some spaces in the thread title because it's playing havoc with the formatting on my phone.

@b15erk if you're on Instagram look for@IntoStitches and go well down her posts and look for a mustard one that she is wearing inside out. It's around 2019 so you need to keep scrolling! I'm not sure if she has a blog as well but I like a lot of her makes.

Nice pattern. Interesting that they charge you UK VAT. A few months ago I had a good old check of VAT rules for imports and my understanding is that no VAT should be charged on paper patterns coming into the UK. I've had several orders from Somethingdelightful and VAT hasn't been added. I've also not been charged VAT on pdfs from the US and Australia.

@Helen M , I'll have a look on Instagram when I go down, I'm just finishing off pyjama pants for Theo...

@Tamnymore , I was a bit put out about the VAT, and delayed purchasing.  It just didn't seem right...

@Ouryve , I did put the spaces in - promise!  It shows only on the one post though.  I'm afraid I don't know how to change it on the whole thread... :rolleyes:  Maybe a kind Mod will stroll along...
