They don't fit in with my current sewing plans though, as (1) I'm in Alberta, Canada which is already too cold for those lovely jackets, and (2) I'm not buying any new fabric until I work down my stash/hoard, and these are not common Fabrics :-( Next spring, maybe....<br /><br />I thought Vogue had some very bizarre fabrics this release! The super-psychedelic print V9159?? I guess they heard the 70's is back in fashion and got out their old stash.

What in ...Oh dear, that is tragic print placement. What in the world were they thinking? I like the Denver tunic and dress pattern. I have considered buying it and wonder if the color blocking will give the illusion of a smaller bustline on me. Interesting about the shoulder area. I love that they show this on a plus model and I actually thought the shoulder area was slimming. It makes me wonder if these shoulders actually fit, and most that hang off the shoulders do not.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10391621005439871907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872782147494855823.post-74105578225618697642015-09-26T08:41:57.390-07:002015-09-26T08:41:57.390-07:00That button placket on the Gwen dress is hideous. ...That button placket on the Gwen dress is hideous. And the giant diamond on the Diamond dress - - I can't even... <br /><br />So yeah, it's safe to say that I won't be purchasing either of these patterns. I do like the Denver pattern, however, I am annoyed about the shoulders being too small on that top. <br /><br />Pattern designers seem to ignore the fact that most sewers base how things may fit them by how they look on the model. I am loathe to think that some poor beginner will believe that's how the shirt is supposed to fit. <br /><br />I like the Sewaholic patterns but I'm not a pear and I don't sew activewear. The Vogue patterns - - meh. niemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15296270866773142442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872782147494855823.post-73334104537259704692015-09-25T21:08:11.801-07:002015-09-25T21:08:11.801-07:00thanks for doing these posts I really enjoy readin...thanks for doing these posts I really enjoy reading them. I never see much of anything in the fall and winter Vogue patterns, I am a summer girl and just tolerate the change of seasons. Active wear - those patterns are cute although the jackets would be useless here and also I just can't be bothered to sew things that I can so easily buy for immediate gratification (active wear, bras etc, and jeans fall into this category for me)Beth (SunnyGal Studio)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08891740887743925587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872782147494855823.post-50002268508843079562015-09-25T19:32:47.545-07:002015-09-25T19:32:47.545-07:00Sewaholic model choices in the recent collections ...Sewaholic model choices in the recent collections don't seem to jive with my understanding of her brand. I know Tasia isn't a professional model, but I prefer her for some reason. If you compare the line drawings of the Fraser and Renfrew patterns - one view is very similar. Vogue? Still wondering if I will purchase the Brenne pattern for the blouse.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508759996980147353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872782147494855823.post-64877281534245474132015-09-25T16:52:03.117-07:002015-09-25T16:52:03.117-07:00I'm so tempted by the pattern anthology collec...I'm so tempted by the pattern anthology collection though for different patterns then you were. Other then that nothing. I will probably debate the anthology for a few more days though.

Okay, maybe 4. Haha!<br /><br />OMG I love Sewaholic's sports bra!!!! I don't think there's a chance in heck that I'd buy it though. I don't (can't) run and most of my exercise is powerwalking but when I think of her tops I just think "ohmygosh how hard will it be to fit my non-small upper body!?" so I don't. But the lines are so, so cute! Gosh so are the leggings. <br /><br />Hmm...those are the types of patterns that would be way less painful as pdf's... ;-)SewCraftyChemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971798108420431518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872782147494855823.post-39529910499866381412015-09-25T10:29:25.893-07:002015-09-25T10:29:25.893-07:00Vogue 1469 has some tragic print placement.
