Then today I had to have x-rays at a place next door to The Fabric Store and went inside (how could I not) and they have the book there for sale with one there to view. I thought it was disappointing too. Other than the skirt you have made and the jumpsuit, the other patterns are too basic or arty. I thought the stories in the book were interesting but if I was those designers I'd be embarrassed with those patterns. Of course I bought fabric!Summer Flieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092393256871735567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-24462161574913102992013-02-07T15:30:26.991-08:002013-02-07T15:30:26.991-08:00Hi - nice skirt, I have admired this one from Pape...Hi - nice skirt, I have admired this one from Papercut, then i realised it was very similar to a simplicity pattern I have, 2451 (which is very similar in cut, but has the added advantage of pockets!). I made this pattern twice two years ago, and then resurrected the pattern to use up some pale blue from my stash (I got a skirt length from Lincraft many years ago, a fabric they marketed as "Sunlin". Not linen but some sort of synthetic I think, breathable and less prone to crushing). This time I lined the skirt, which will make it more of an all seasons skirt (pale blue will still work in winter!). <br /><br />Love reading your blog - I hope the day job doesn't get in your way too much!Susannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132044454683106362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-34129074275714342072013-02-07T02:12:40.679-08:002013-02-07T02:12:40.679-08:00Sweet skirt!Sweet skirt!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023115170916061414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-86647102893909768272013-02-06T20:51:25.446-08:002013-02-06T20:51:25.446-08:00Hello Poppykettle, I'm glad you got the patte...Hello Poppykettle, I'm glad you got the pattern, Kkatherine hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314030133556269765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-45307369910949633422013-02-06T20:44:55.863-08:002013-02-06T20:44:55.863-08:00Hello Amy,

Of the other patterns in the magazine, 3 are for t-shirts that have cut-on sleeves. It would have been nice if one of them had set-in or raglan sleeves. There is a knit jump suit. There is another cute skirt, but it is fairly simple. One sack dress. I guess the magazine is aimed at young creative types who do more with pizzazz than patterns. Also, most patterns only come in one size, although it is a medium size. So, I couldn't whole-heartedly recommend it, but I have enjoyed reading it.katherine hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314030133556269765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-56828640222451648042013-02-06T20:10:59.156-08:002013-02-06T20:10:59.156-08:00Great looking skirt.
