The latest collection of Kwik Sew is here. I’ve been a bit down about the recent Kwik Sew patterns, but, I have to say that, on the whole, this release isn’t too bad. Nothing amazing (Kwik Sew is aimed at newer sewers, so that is to be expected), but certainly a few cute designs, including … More New Spring Kwik Sew Patterns
The preview for the Burda Spring/Summer 2016 patterns is here! I always tend to geek out over the envelope patterns, and this time Burda has given me quite a bit to drool over. Also, have to throw out that the Burda Plus selection from this release is absolutely fantastic. I think I’ve put nearly all … More Burda Catalog Patterns Spring/Summer 2016
So the full preview for the February Burda is here. And you can watch the German promotional video too. After the awesome magazines we’ve been getting the past few months I’d hoped the trend would continue… But, sadly, no. The February issue is full of a mostly dull assortment of boxy silhouettes.

Continuing the new pattern round up, today I’ll be looking at Simplicity and New Look! The fact that Simplicity has updated their website (pretty, but not totally functional) has been delaying my review, as I’ve been waiting to see what the new releases look like. It seems that Simplicity has posted the latest from New Look, … More New Simplicity and New Look Patterns
I’ve been so busy with the holidays I haven’t any time to catch up on all the recent pattern releases, and I’ve reconsidered my plan to do one massive assessment, so rather than this being a very image-heavy-photo-dump-more-sewing-patterns-than-you-can-handle sort of post, I’ve decided to string it out over the next few days. Figured I’d start it off … More New Year, New Patterns! First New Vogues of 2016
