Patterns Discussion / Something Delightful sale reduction plus 25% off

« on: September 03, 2021, 20:23:42 PM »

Something Delightful has a sale. It's the usual $6.99 for Vogue, $4.99 for McCall (including the new fall patterns) and Butterick plus an additional 25% off for Labor Day. This is the best sale I've seen on this site. They are also selling off Kwik Sew at $2 each and buy 5 get 5 free - I don't suppose there are many of those left - looks like they are phasing KS out!

Patterns Discussion / Fibremood patterns 5 for 15 euros (=£12.18)

« on: August 04, 2021, 17:32:16 PM »

Fibremood have a sale for the next couple of days. 5 pdf patterns for 15 euros which works out as £12.18 once they take off the tax. They are multisized and you can print them off at home or whizz the A0 version off to Patternsy or similar for printing. When you print out the A4 versions there is an option to print only the size(s) you want which is very useful. The instructions are very good and detailed unlike some (ahem - Stylearc, I'm looking at you!!) and there are some nice patterns. Quite a bargain I think.

Patterns Discussion / Jaycotts half price pattern salei

« on: July 31, 2021, 21:00:16 PM »

If you head over to the Jaycotts website you will find a number of patterns half price. None are new and some are probably out of print but I noticed quite a few costumes, Zandra Rhodes, Rachel Comey, Sandra Betzina. Worth a look!

Patterns Discussion / Butterick autumn/fall patterns 2021

« on: July 21, 2021, 22:39:35 PM »

Find them on the Something Delightful site here.

Pretty standard fare, I'm afraid. There's a smart jacket and coat - got a zillion such patterns already. The Kathryn Tilton pattern is for a hoodie which I can't really get excited about and I normally like most Tilton patterns. Think I'll just wait for a sale on the new Vogue patterns - they are much more exciting.

Patterns Discussion / Vogue autumn/fall patterns 2021

Find them here on the Something Delightful website.

Well what do we think? There's a Marcy Tilton jacket which I quite like but I have a bit of a backlog of Tilton patterns to make and this one isn't that different from the others. It is a bit what Manuela used to call 'overengineered'.

There's a coat by Julio Cesar. This made me chuckle as it has repurposed men's ties as appliques. As Kenneth Williams might have said : 'He's having a laugh.' Still, it would be a good way of using recently retired DH's old ties.
The Tom and Linda Platt dress with the wavy line down the front is nice. I really like the fit of Sandra Betzina patterns but this one just looks too fussy. There's a nice jacket and trousers pattern which I do like but it looks a bit too smart for me. So a couple of patterns worth buying perhaps.

And I see that the new patterns have digital versions - at last! Unfortunately all the links seemed to be broken. No doubt they'll get there eventually!

Patterns Discussion / Fibre Mood 5 pdf patterns for €15 until 6th June

« on: June 02, 2021, 08:51:21 AM »

Just had an email from Fibre Mood. It's 5 pdf patterns for €15 until Sunday.

Having been alerted to the free pattern offer they had a few weeks ago by @Helen M I'm tempted again. Cos it's a really good offer isn't it?

And pdfs don't take up space in the house do they?

The free pattern I got in the last offer was really good and easy to print out as you can just print out the size you want from a multi size pattern. Or you can whizz the large size pdfs off to Patternsy for printing.Also FM have lots of customer reviews and photos on their website.

I'm afraid they look pretty dull to me. No Katherine Tilton offering. I'll be waiting to see what Vogue has to offer for the summer.

On the main US website for McCalls etc pattern website (now called 'something delightful' for some inexplicable reason) digital patterns in the McCalls and Butterick brands are reduced to $4.99 until 4/12. Most of their more recent patterns are digital. I've just got one and it was very essy to buy (paypal) and download.

I saw this & I thought you may be interested! / Rainbow fabrics sale this weekend 20% off

« on: October 31, 2020, 13:21:43 PM »

I chanced across Rainbow fabrics the other day, noticed they had some good prices and good reviews and ordered a modest amount of fabric (that's a Tamnymodest amount

). I'm eagerly awaiting some tartan (yes, the girl does not have enough tartan already - who knew?) and some Alice Temperley plaid linen/cotton. The Temperley fabric is genuine - I found it on a jumpsuit in the Alice Temperley spring 2015 collection. Here's what I'll look like when I've made it up into a jumpsuit

see Look 1

The Rainbow fabrics website isn't brilliant, and fabrics do seem to sell out quickly but there's some nice stuff and (finally getting to the point now) there's 20% off this weekend.

Uncharacteristically for me I'm not going to indulge in the sale...... Stashy McStashface!
