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
Apparently September is National Sewing Month, and with Labor Day weekend first thing, Joann is having some decent sales. Of particular interest: *$0.99 McCall’s (usually sale price is $1.99, so this is good! Although probably too much to hope for having the new winter patterns in, but we shall see…) *$3.99 Vogue (hoping to pick up … More JoAnn Labor Day Sale – Vogue and McCall’s
More new patterns! I have only really been following the pattern release cycles for a few months, so I was rather unaware of how often new patterns are released by the Big4, but I will say that because they are all released at different times, there do seem to be new patterns rather frequently. Which … More Newsflash – Winter McCall’s Patterns
Ok, I really can’t resist a pattern sale! At this point I have polished off my wish list for all of the Big4 pattern companies except Vogue, as, even at sale price, they add up much more quickly than the other guys. However, I have been looking critically at my Vogue pattern wish list and … More Pattern Stash – New Additions!
For those of us who have been drooling over the latest Vogues – good news! Today through Sunday (August 5 – 7) Joann will be having a pattern sale for $3.99 Vogue and $1.99 McCall’s. As this is the fist sale after the release of the fall patterns, I expect there may be some difficulty … More Pattern Sales: Vogue and McCall’s
Arg, the more busy I am, the more new stuff pops up. Oh well, these posts don’t take as long as my pattern review or skating posts, so I won’t worry about it too much. In any case, McCall’s also has new fall patterns. I found more to like than I did with Simplicity, but … More Newsflash – Fall McCall’s Patterns
After finally finishing my stuff for the wedding, I wanted something fast and easy before I got going on the projects for my sister. Having only 2 pattern pieces, McCall’s pattern 6078 fit the bill. M6078 I have this wonderful soft drapey blue knit that I really want to make into a top, however, I love … More Pattern Review: M6078
As I mentioned in my previous post, I did some major stashbustin’ when I was scrambling for a replacement for the flop that was Simplicity 4014. It was about that time that I realized I need to have a better organization method for my patterns. I know this has been a hot topic on quite … More Pattern Organization
Ok, so the world has seen and been wowed by the royal wedding dress. I must admit, it is stunning. I have been sort of falling in love with the images of the Grace Kelly and 50’s era gowns popping up all over the internet, so I was not at all disappointed by the gown … More The Wedding Dress
Jo-Ann is having the last sale of April: one day only – Saturday April 30. McCall’s and Butterick patterns for $1.99 and Vogue for $3.99. I am going to try and get the remaining patterns on my list of wants; hopefully then I will only be on the watch for a Burda sale at some … More Yet Another Pattern Sale
