In addition to the traditional Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter issues, this year My Image Magazine has also been doing special 10-piece editions each season. Here’s what we get in the Fall 2019 Special issue: There aren’t a ton of images on the My Image website for this issue, but I think we can see enough from … More My Image Magazine Special 4 – Fall 2019
The next major fall pattern release is here, and it’s New Look! New Look is usually one of the brands I’m less excited by, but this release actually has quite a few cute styles for fall. Let’s take a look: N6631 – Kids dress and cape. The dress is pretty cute and the cape could … More New Look Patterns Fall 2019
It feels like it’s been non-stop pattern releases the past few weeks, and Simplicity has just added their Fall collection to the sewing pattern lineup! There’s actually a lot of good looking patterns in this release, so let’s jump in! S8980 – 1950s Vintage reprint. I’m trying really hard to convince myself I don’t need … More Simplicity Patterns Fall 2019
This year Burda has announced that they will be moving to four issues of Burda Easy per year, and the fall issue is here! Honestly, I had been hoping that splitting the magazine into more issues would result into slightly more seasonal styling, but these styles are all pretty generic and almost summery. As with … More Fall 2019 Burda Easy Magazine
The year feels like it is flying by too fast, but the September Burda is already here! Personally, I don’t think I’m quite as excited as I was for August, but, this is a pretty great issue too! It’s an especially good selection of Burda Plus patterns this month, which is really exciting. There’s lots … More September 2019 BurdaStyle Magazine
A few weeks back I wrote a post about modifications to the Kibbe system, but today I thought we could look at alternatives to the Kibbe Image IDs. There are several other style systems out there, not the least of which include Dressing Your Truth, Truth is Beauty, David Zyla, and Fantastical Beauty. All of … More Non-Kibbe Style Systems
Fall fashion releases are ramping up, and the new looks from McCall’s are here. This is one of those releases where I can appreciate the styles McCall’s has created, but I also really don’t feel a strong need to buy any of them. There is plenty to see in any case, so let’s jump in: … More McCall’s Fall Patterns 2019
Like June, July was obviously not a great month for me as far as Sew Your Kibbe progress went. I was home for about 3 days of the month, and of those I spent about half my time sleeping and the other half doing work related things. I’ll go more into my July adventures in … More Sew Your Kibbe Challenge – Semi Late July Round Up
Normally when the new Burda catalog comes out it’s a day of excitement and confetti around here, but this release has been a bit disappointing. Not because the designs are bad, but because the majority are styles we’ve already had in the magazines. Which means there really isn’t a lot I’m wanting to add to … More Burda Catalog Patterns Fall/Winter 2019
My Image is one of those sewing magazines that offers some nice basics. I really like a lot of the styles they have this year’s fall/winter selection. It was released a while ago (I think just before I left?), but you can still order it here. I usually don’t have any trouble with shipping to … More My Image Magazine Fall/Winter 2019
