Sadly, at the previous Big4 pattern sales I was unable to acquire the latest fall patterns (6 Joann stores in the area and NONE of them have the new patterns for at least 3-4 weeks after they are announced), so I am hoping to polish off my wish lists with this round of sales. In … More JoAnn Pattern Sales – Vogue/McCall’s and Butterick
Somehow I missed the Butterick Royal Wedding pattern releases. Like everyone else on the internet I ooohed and aaaaaahed over the dress after the wedding. At the time everyone was trying to figure out the best way to copy the designs with available patterns. Well, the Big4 have caught up at last. I saw the patterns advertised in … More Somehow I missed these pattern announcements…
The latest round of fall patterns have been announced by Butterick! You can take a look here. My overall impression: some decent wardrobe staples, but very few wow patterns. There are some nice dresses, but nothing that I really need to get… I feel like I could make something similar with many of the patterns I … More Newsflash – Fall Butterick Patterns
I cannot resist a pattern sale. It is true. Last week I got some of the new Simplicity patterns: Ok, I got the Middleton engagement dress pattern. Costumes… More costumes… And this week I fell into the $0.99 Butterick trap: Shirts More shirts… And yet another costume. But the skirt is so pretty! I think … More I cannot resist….

One of my goals for this blog is to post about all of my sewing projects. Since I have only been sewing for a short time, I think it should be possible to post about the projects I made last year, as the quantity was far fewer than what I have been attempting this year. … More Pattern Review: Butterick 5295
I was finally able to acquire the new Butterick patterns at a $1.99 sale! Although the local JoAnn store didn’t have ANY of the new patterns (or even place holders for them) the other stores in the area did happen to have them, and in the sizes I was looking for. Managed to get all … More Success!

I … More Pattern Sales: Butterick, Round 2
Well, I attempted to acquire some of the new Butterick’s in the JoAnn sale starting today. That was a total failure. They didn’t even have places for the new patterns, let alone any of the actual patterns. They didn’t have the new books out yet either. Ah well. I am hoping that by Saturday a … More Epic Fail and Work in Progress
