You can see them here.  The KwikSew line is getting smaller and smaller and there is certainly nothing of interest for me this time around.

Most uninspiring.
Life's too short for ironing.

Not really keeping up with current trends, are they? Can't see me making anything like the little girls dungarees with a giant 3D butterfly on the front. Granddaughter would think I'd lost the plot!
Not impressed at all  :(

Never let your sewing machine know you're in a hurry

The cold shoulder top is fairly on trend (not with me!)

The dungarees are hideous

Why would you want a handle on the back of your dog?!

I do like the fox items though!

I know that 'cold shoulder' tops are a thing now, but I already have cold shoulders so I like to keep 'em covered up.

The dungarees are just bizarre - they look dated, but I can't imagine in what decade in which part of the world those styles would have been popular.

I like the foxy scissor holders though!  :snip: :meow:

If you are on the canal in a narrowboat, a handle on a dog harness is a must.  Though I can't see that one being much good  :[
Willing but not always able :)

The boyancy jackets the dogs wear at hydrotherapy sessions have handles like that, but they don't have the pockets either side of the handle!

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.

Oh dear, I see what you mean.

In the meantime, Jalie's range gets bigger and bigger. With all the interest in knits and coverstitch machines, I'm surprised Kwik Sew haven't capitalised on their experience of knit patterns with this release when there seems to be constant demand for them online.
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.

I think the look on that poor dogs face just about sum it up!

I do like this one though: https://sewdirect.com/acatalog/Kwik-Sew-K4206.html

But I don't get my upper arms out. Maybe I could make a little bias cut frill and put it round the armhole? Like a cold shoulder thing.

Nah Fran- that's just a beach cover up- no shaping, gathered neckline etc etc.  I don't see it doing any favours to anyone above twig size!
C'est moi!

I would wear it belted (either a thin plaited leather one or a self-fabric belt).
