Here they are https://simplicity.com/vogue-patterns/

Marked new, but not on a separate page. (20)Vogue have also re-released 1970s Diane Von Fursternberg wrap dress pattern 50 year anniversary.

Not much to write home about for me although the DVF has had rave reviews. That said I do like the skirt and trouser suits patterns, but I have patterns that I can use to create the effect.

Your Favourite Suppliers / Rotary Cutter Blades
« on: January 24, 2024, 20:03:54 PM »
I ordered a 10 pack of 45mm blades from this company. Before I had closed my computer I had an item dispatched message.

I was sceptical to say the least, but my blades were delivered the next day, much sooner than I expected. They were the cheapest I could find too.

Are having a half price sale this week featuring different pattern companies each day (NL yesterday, McCalls today) with a final all patterns selection at the weekend.

I've had my eye on this one, which I couldn't get from US.
No doubt I will find something else to make the postage worthwhile, and then definitely a moritorium on fabric and patterns[/b] in 2023 (except M&M quinn trousers. https://merchantandmills.com/uk/the-quinn-pdf)
The printed version takes 3 months to become available,  just in time for Spring/Summer.
Think I'd better unsubscribe everything :D

I managed no chocolate for a year. What's my problem?

All things textiles, starting in a field of flax, the programme takes you through the process of making it into fabric, in Blackburn, Lancashire. (A Beatles reference, but I digress)

There’s also archive film from 50s of linen manufacturing, Filey gansies knitted on 5 needles, a sock knitting machine, (I want one), dyeing and spinning linen on a wheel, (not advisable) not a spindle.

Catch on iplayer.

Patterns Discussion / Another Vogue Pattern Sale
« on: October 07, 2022, 13:26:13 PM »
Unbelievably Vogue half price pattern sale till the endish of the month. 29th Oct if I remember correctly.

I've never known a Vogue sale to be so soon after the last in UK.

I resisted last time, but will treat myself on this occasion.

Next year will be a definite no pattern no fabric resolution. I managed it with chocolate.....

Here they are.
I'm surprised to see an 80's pattern and there are some interesting shapes,  but luckily nothing screaming grab me, grab me.
But on third thoughts the shorter version is better.

Here's the link.


They have given me inspiration to amend patterns I currently have, this (I've even got the double gauze); and this, but this, is a little cutie. I think there must be something wrong with me.  :scream: I don't usually look at the children's patterns. I must be a sucker for collars.

This is the first one I have seen for a long while, but for two hours only??? Seems a bit limited, especially as the last time I went the sale was over a few days and and few hours each day, and there were queues. Unless it is in a larger venue.   [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
