Now that I'm reading more about it, it sounds like one of the options is that the pattern companies could be sold on. It doesn't have to mean disolution, I was too shocked by the term liquidator to realise that. It's also very early days yet.

"Hamilton also pointed out a significant ancillary role that the Big 4 play in the indie sewing pattern ecosystem. “They also own the last pattern tissue printers in the country, and that is significant to all the other pattern companies that rely upon it.”"

Whoa -- *two* people who run independent pattern companies mention this as a possible disaster for them, because the physical machinery had been centralized. That's complicated.

@cassolotl I love this!!! Thank you for publishing free instructions!

I grew up reading lots of T-shirt #upcycling books (like "Generation T"), and got Adiff's "Open Source Fashion Cookbook" a while back. Some of the cookbook's "recipes" use umbrella fabric as a base.

JoAnn's closing virtually all stores by April will be a problem for sewists. The other 2 big craft chains don't stock much fabric; local quilt shops generally don't stock knits, rayon, denim, gauze and other clothes-making staples. And as far as I know, JoAnn's is THE major outlet for the big pattern companies - I suspect this will be close to a death blow for Simplicity/McCalls/Butterick/Vogue. So now would be a good time for #sewists to stock up on copies of your staple #SewingPatterns.

This was my entry for #shirtwaistseptember last year. The dress is made from a very lovely red cotton satin. (You might notice a color preference in my feed...)

You can choose between shirt and long sleeves, three skirt options and decide on pintucks or no pintucks. Of course the dress has pockets! ;)

Another vintage inspired dress pattern from last year. The skirt has a wide inset and the collor is cut-on. Of course the dress has pockets. ;)

Since it is really cold these days, let us start with a coat pattern: dressdeveloper.com/pattern-kit

The pattern is created with one of my pattern kits and allows countless adjustments!

I'm specifically thinking dreadful time I had with Seamwork Christina skirt, the surprisingly difficult Itch to Stitch La Paz jacket, the tricksiness of doing flat-felled seams on Cashmerette Harrison, and modifying Peppermint Magazine Loungewear set for a beautiful finish for sensitive skin. And that's just for starters!

I've been contemplating doing a series of blog posts / newsletter on sewing.

I would take a pattern and then go over the missing or ambiguous steps and diagrams, better techniques, smarter order of execution etc. than described in the pattern. I would like them easier to achieve, or with neater, more elevated outcome.

It's like a very detailed pattern review, but fundamentally trying to make it better rather than just complaining.

What do you think?
