No new skating patterns or athletic gear though (sadface). Here were a few I thought were worth mentioning: KS3941 – I wish … More Newsflash – New Kwik Sew Patterns Announced!

I am hoping it won’t stay this way, but with their upcoming “website transition” I won’t be surprised … More Newsflash – May Burda Preview Posted!
