During the week there was no time for sewing, I did buy the new Knip Mode September issue and the Patrones no. 295. Knip mode has been reviewed in the meantime by Melissa with a lot of pictures already.
Patrones has a mix of fall patterns and summer/festive dresses.
As I already mentioned, no plus-size patterns in this issue, a special plus-size magazine is announced at the last page.
I love the jackets in the issue, there are a lot of them and some nice pants patterns too. Of course I will not get to make them all (if any) but one can dream. The most special one is this one, with the special darts and welts/bound buttonholes at the center.
Two others with nice lines.
The dresses are absolutely not for me: mostly bare shoulders, too much summer, not my style. But nice for others.
To conclude: houndstooth is a big hit again. Both Knip Mode and Patrones show a coat with it.
When I was at Macy’s in New York (how crazy that sounds now) I saw a coat in about the same weave as the fabric I bought in Paris last year. Guess what is on my list to sew this fall.
Fabulous! That jacket, #32, is that I double collar? I love the double breasted one too. Now I must find this issue.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, the dresses are strangely not autumnal! The jackets are great, though.
ReplyDeleteHey!
ReplyDeleteI saw our origami dress in yellow on the norwegian crown princess in a magazine that my mother bought. Looked good on her too!
