Simplicity, Star Trek, McCall’s, and Pokemon – A Cosplay Pattern Update Post

October 4, 2016

It seems that a few of the pattern companies have released some great cosplay patterns somewhat quietly since their last full pattern release. Simplicity has apparently decided to celebrate the Star Trek 50th Anniversary by releasing some beautiful licensed Star Trek cosplay patterns: Not to be outdone, McCall’s is jumping in on the Pokemon Go! … More Simplicity, Star Trek, McCall’s, and Pokemon – A Cosplay Pattern Update Post

Fall 2016 Simplicity and New Look Patterns

August 22, 2016

On the whole I don’t find the new Simplicity and New Look patterns to be terribly exciting, although I will say that the Vintage reprints are rather nice. Not much new in terms of silhouettes or styles, but there are some new lingerie patterns, which is interesting, and lots of new costume patterns from Simplicity. … More Fall 2016 Simplicity and New Look Patterns

New Simplicity Patterns June 2016

June 23, 2016

The latest collection from Simplicity Patterns is here, and I think it is quite good! They seem to be pumping out quite a few cosplay patterns, and with connections to DC, Marvel, Nintendo, and Doctor Who, it looks like they’ve got quite a few bases covered. Their every-day patterns aren’t quite as exciting this time … More New Simplicity Patterns June 2016

New Simplicity and New Look Patterns

April 28, 2016

The Simplicity website continues to be not helpful, so I’ve resorted to stalking Instagram to tell me when to head over to Pattern Review to check out the new releases for Simplicity and New Look patterns. This release, on the whole, isn’t really doing much for me. There are a few fabulous costume patterns, and … More New Simplicity and New Look Patterns

New-ish Simplicity Patterns

March 17, 2016

The latest patterns from Simplicity have been released. Since the Simplicity website is not at all helpful, I somehow missed the initial release and I’ve fallen back on using Pattern Review to look for new patterns. Which means that these are probably old news at this point, but I figure for posterity sake I’d post … More New-ish Simplicity Patterns

Simplicity and New Look Patterns Fall 2015

August 24, 2015

The latest collections from Simplicity and New Look are here! Which would be a bit more exciting if they weren’t so full of pattern re-prints. It seems as though Simplicity has retired all of their Game of Thrones inspired patterns and re-released them with new covers. Even some of the New Look patterns have obviously … More Simplicity and New Look Patterns Fall 2015

Newsflash(ish): Summer Simplicity and New Look Patterns

May 3, 2015

The latest offerings from Simplicity and New Look are here. Overall I have to say that the designs are pretty similar to what we’ve seen from all the other pattern companies lately – voluminous tops, basic dresses, and lots of jumpsuits (or jumpsuit-looking-separates). Nothing I’m super excited about (except maybe some of the costumes), but enough … More Newsflash(ish): Summer Simplicity and New Look Patterns

Newsflash: New Simplicity Patterns

February 20, 2015

The latest Simplicity patterns can be seen on their website. Between the Vintage reprints and the new designer patterns, it is actually a fairly interesting release. There are a lot of basic looks and crafty items, but the other designs more than make up for it. S1155 – Love this vintage reprint. Close-up of the … More Newsflash: New Simplicity Patterns
