I am having trouble opening the site today, it is very slow and often comes up with this fault https://thesewingplace.org.uk/index.php?action=post;topic=12918.0;last_msg=248642

Same here too.

@Bumblebuncher

Sorry. Was just trying to be a bit helpful 

I'd hate to be put into that position every year, to find something I had made was put into a charity bag.

They're all so lovely and so original too. Have looked at them a couple of times and enjoyed the variety and
they look too good to use. Well done everyone who took part in it.  I may be tempted to take part next time
if you will let me 

I may have another look at these again later. Lovely Autumnal colours. :thumbsup:

Thanks @b15erk

I don't have any patience either for putting pdf's together and I hate it too.

I'm sure I have several fabrics I can use for the jacket so will make a start on a toile first for it. It says its an advance pattern but think I have done most of the techniques shown before so am happy with that. But looking forward to working it through with the video online too. I like the style of the jacket very much and have seen some examples of it made up too in different fabrics. I like that you can use a zip or buttons too.

I'll let you know how I get on with as I go through it definitely.   

I'll inspect the pattern more closely next week as have some urgent paperwork to get done which will take me a week. Am itching to start it though. The dress pattern will have to wait for a bit longer unfortunately. I bought it at the same time as it was sold out in many places and I didn't want to have to buy it later at a much more expensive price.

Looking forward to making it.

On another note, I do have another jacket pattern I want to make up but cannot find the  fabric anywhere online in the UK. Have seen it on  US site but I expect it will be far too expensive to buy it from there. It's a casual jacket pattern. I'll have to see which thread I can put it on?

This company has just come up on my FB feed, and it looks really interesting.

Although it is French, the tutorials are good, so easy enough to follow.

I need to give this a closer look, I'm sure some of these patterns have my name on them...

Yes I bought two of these patterns on Sunday and they arrived on Wednesday not had time to do anything with them yet.
The outer envelope is beautiful and the paper pn the outer envelope very tactile too. I was impressed. There is a booklet inside in french and English . The pattern is on paper similar to the type of paper used when you order a printout from a copy shop. I would look around on the net to find the best price for these patterns as well. I got two for £30 including postage.

I have them in front of me as we speak. I got The Atlas dress/blouse pattern and the Sunset Jacket one too.
I'm very impressed so far. And was going to post something on here tomorrow to see if anybody else had ordered a pattern.

Seeing annie's post on the dress design kit for sale, reminded me that I have this 'Lutterloh - The Golden Rule Complete Kit'.  I bought it a couple of years ago and never used it. It's still all packed up in the box it came in and unused.

Just wondering if anyone may be interested in it?  Please let me know and I can send sort out some pictures of it.
