getting ready for Tuesday's "Understanding a Pattern Class"... the material is printed & marked... pretty much ready to go! ... but! ... I wanted to pass on some pattern companies to you...
When I first started sewing, Simplicity was the perfect choice for a 10 year old so I wanted to revisit them, it's been a while! They now have wonderful updated patterns, some in affiliation with Threads Magazine. You can visit them @ simplicity.com ...took a look at it this morning... it's young and edgy with lots of fun products, projects and patterns.... love it!
Later on as a young adult, I ventured over to Butterick, McCalls and Vogue... they can all be found @ http://butterick.mccall.com/ I still use their patterns probably because they are easily accessable here in SC in a limited retail market and seem to fit my body type perfectly with very few adjustments!
I'm finding that there are many more pattern companies available... Burda, Kwik Sew, hotpatterns.com and other small pattern companies that can be found on line. Hope you have the opportunity to take a look and have some fun with a new pattern.
just found... hotpatterns.com They had some cute things! I'm still looking for a raglan sleeve coat pattern to re-cut my mom's 1960s coat so it will fit me.. she was 5'7"... I'm 5'3"
