Wow - these are great. What a lovely collection. I only have mine which is the red Vulcan - the more old fashioned and substantial one. In fact it’s my avatar! I wish I had room for some more but sadly I don’t even have room for what I’ve got! It’s really interesting to see all the little toy Vulcan machines in a group. Are the ones in the cabinet Singers? I missed a lovely beige Singer which I bought on eBay but which the seller dropped and broke before sending it to me

I'll just slip this into this thread but also look out for much reduced Kwik Sew patterns - for instance, Minerva has Kwik Sew at about a quarter of the original price .This will be because the brand has been phased out. It's a pity as they had some nice craft patterns.

Thanks @Tamnymore. They do seem to have a lot of craft patterns and some clothes too though not as many as they used to have. However the postage on Minerva is quite high for a single pattern…about £2.99 I think?

I expect everyone has had the email, as I have, but just in case, Sewdirect are having one of their pattern sales on Butterick. 50% off and postage is about £1.50 I think. They definitely seem to be looking at the more mature sewer judging from the pattern styles, but lots of lovely dresses, and three patterns for culottes, as well as the Katherine Tilton, Palmer Pletsch and Lisette lines. It’s a bit lacking in pizazz but very useful patterns.

Thanks @Lizzy777 - I hadn’t spotted that one and the postage isn’t too bad.

I’ve just noticed all the main sewing sites have the Simplicity sale, so far Jaycotts and Minerva. Any other pattern sales anyone know about?

Just started…. The Sewdirect Simplicity half price sale. I don’t know about postage prices - If anyone finds out could they add it to this post? Thanks.

Hello AlbaV, it’s the perfect place to ask for sewing help. Hope you are getting lots done!

I’ve posted most of the details on the Interested section. Last day today. Oh dear  decisions :thinking: decisions
