What the hell is that...

Having a look through the whole thing and the only thing that's "OK" is 7562, the shirt dress. In the catalogue she has it belted and it looks really lovely and comfortable for summer.

But the rest is totally meh

Is it just me, or is it only the Autumn/Winter styles that are ever interesting?

I think you are right.  Spring is perhaps the least most interesting for me, but winter makes me think of snuggly stuff and coats.  :D

I can't find anything I like in this little lot. I've suspected for a while that the big patterrn companies have been sneakily recycling their patterns to us. It doesn't help that I have a tendency to buy the same pattern twice.... 
And hello DF, really nice to see you here.

In my head, I sew the most glamourous clothes and attend marvellous parties.

It certainly gives you the opportunity to dress up and fantasize for a few hours.  :D

The wedding season of life has just started for me. March, July, December, next summer, probably more cropping up before then. So I have plenty of occasions for evening wear!

Of course, then they go and make them in stick insect sizing only...
