I know a lot of other people like to post cohesive sewing plans for a season – with nice inspiration pictures and patterns and fabrics all picked out. I don’t think I could do that. I mean, it isn’t hard for me to plan out sewing projects (see my list at the sidebar), but I … More More Fall Sewing Plans

Vogue has released some new patterns! Looks like a lot of party dresses, some fall/winter coats, and a few accessories. Overall I find the silhouettes to be too boxy and oversized for my taste. Even with most of the dresses I find that I either an not excited or I have something that would be … More Newsflash – New Vogue Patterns Announced
Alrighty, after a good many hours of sleep I finally feel refreshed enough to actually do a real post of the finished coat. This coat was quite an adventure. I had been planning it since back in February, with fabric selections and pattern selections occurring around May, and the finished project happening mid-September, the last … More Pattern Review: Vogue 8626
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
Alright, I wasn’t planning on buying any more fabric until I had worked down my current stash a bit (difficult because I have been taking on time consuming projects more than fabric consuming projects), but the Joann labor day sale tempted me. I did show some restraint though. I did put one bolt back before … More A slightly larger stash…
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

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
Vogue has just released their fall patterns, which you can view here. Overall, I say they have quite a few winners in this round. There are a lot of patterns I have fallen in love with. Firstly, so many draped knit dresses! And I am in love with all of them. Well, most of them. Although … More Newsflash – Fall Vogue Patterns
