I tend to spend my sewing allowance on fabric (an the occasional Indie pattern), so if I see some fancy details, I try to see the basic pattern underneath and think about how to add the details myself. :)Alessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16605755512224178329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240646921131108331.post-31767371890952221642013-09-13T10:21:51.862+01:002013-09-13T10:21:51.862+01:00Hi Louise,thank you for your sweet comment.

Part of me WILL miss my blog but I get just as much fun out of reading others.<br />You are very creative and have such a good eye for detail...I wouldn't have the patience...or skill..to make my own clothes!<br />Take care and have a good weekend.<br /><br />Bellaboo Xbellaboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09579328217041430937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240646921131108331.post-12859008547837438962013-09-11T16:11:05.966+01:002013-09-11T16:11:05.966+01:00I have a stash of patterns that are just basics an...I have a stash of patterns that are just basics and I try to use my own imagination to either create new ideas of my own, or recreate things that I see in stores or online. That's not to say that I don't buy other patterns, too (especially if the technique is a mystery to me).Trinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10988537620055141341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240646921131108331.post-2571885974220877862013-09-11T07:54:26.831+01:002013-09-11T07:54:26.831+01:00Those patterns are divine.

I do tend to buy mostly Vogue patterns,I have looked into joining Club BMV the shipping is high so I would have to only buy them when they ar very cheap. but if I can join a club in the UK I can get half price patterns and free postage. I may join up with one of them soon.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074168748281297290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240646921131108331.post-25371746191795794512013-09-11T07:46:34.489+01:002013-09-11T07:46:34.489+01:00I couldnt agree more.

Unless its special or I havent got one like it, I would rather spend my pennies on nice fabric than a pattern.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074168748281297290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240646921131108331.post-13812262883707614032013-09-11T07:32:21.975+01:002013-09-11T07:32:21.975+01:00You are so right about the lack of innovation in p...You are so right about the lack of innovation in patterns lately, although I really do like your first two choices a lot. The first one looks especially interesting to me. The cost of Vogue patterns is pretty horrendous in Australia too, but if you like Vogue patterns a lot it is well worth joining Club BMV for their $4 online sales. I order 5-7 at a time, you can get past as well as current seasons too, and even with postage it is a considerable saving :)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240646921131108331.post-8571312895862182082013-09-11T05:06:35.658+01:002013-09-11T05:06:35.658+01:00I totally agree.

I think slowing down on buying and spending more time in designing details for the patterns I already own will pay off for me. Really, how many knit tee patterns do we need???Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517527498809073174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240646921131108331.post-20900447546941844692013-09-11T01:30:47.870+01:002013-09-11T01:30:47.870+01:00I'm starting to resist buying new patterns, an...I'm starting to resist buying new patterns, and use the current trends as inspiration to adjust patterns I already have. I never had the confidence before to design for myself, but now, unless there is a new feature I really need instructions for, I'm going to have a go myself.Sew Leoniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18188734243794026726noreply@blogger.com
