I have to say that none of the pattern books have much inspiring and haven’t for years, apart from some designer stuff in Vogue. I think they play it safe. I love seeing something different, even if I don’t wear it. There are always elements you can introduce to your own garments. I know pattern cutters were a bit thin on the ground some years ago and I wonder if it’s still the same. Designing is different. Love a bit of innovative pattern cutting.
