My sister had the same issue with the Lisette patterns (which clearly say “Butterick” on the envelopes!) ringing up as McCalls during the 3/$5 sale a couple weeks ago – except that the store manager wouldn’t honor the terms of the sale and let her have them at the sale price.

Oh, and I was browsing the Butterick website last night. If you look at their online look book, it tells you what most of the fabrics used on the patterns covers are. The last page tells you where most of the accessories came from!

50 degrees is what get at night in winter but never ever during the day – we are too far north for such temps. It sounds as though there are plenty of ideas. Hope you find the perfect solution.

I have two pairs of puppet show shows cut and ready to sew. One is to pair with an angel top I am still working on and the other is a linen pair I didnt manage to get to before Christmas. I plan to make a tunic to go with it.

Welcome Enbee, I am glad you have de-lurked!
When I get my new MacBook we must have a natter 🙂

Working on the hide and seek pattern, this is one seriously cute dress! Combination of fabric; patterned courduroy, plain velveteen and added hood with ears, and another fantastic Oliver and S pattern. Can’t wait til it’s finished 🙂

I just finished hacking together the Penny pinafore with all my fitting changes with the Swoon Neck Scarf Cardigan. hopefully this will give me a much better fit through the shoulders and arms in my other stretch lace.
Now back to work on the hide and seek 🙂
