(that's a good thing!) I haven't really cared for the Lisette line all that much. I've thought most of the designs were just too boxy to be flattering.angie.ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575366388194033626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337174006238935251.post-42947029289130536402012-02-20T05:11:29.420-06:002012-02-20T05:11:29.420-06:00Oh wow!

I'm also a really huge fan of Cynthia Rowley patterns and very much looking forward to checking out Leanne Marshall. I really love when real-life stylish people's clothing and translate it into a pattern!<br /><br />I also wanted to let you know I gifted you with the Liebster Blogger Award.

After I finish my current project (McCall's 5801), I will start on it. Emerald or kelly green poplin would be nice if I could find some.<br /><br />I was a bit blah about the Lisette patterns too. I truly loved the Traveler dress (2246) and had hoped for something to top it. I think 1878 would work as a quick summer dress, perhaps with a belt.

I was expecting the same from our JoAnn's, because they are as slow as snails putting new collections out, but they actually had them in stock. It was such a lucky break! I'm way too tempted to start one of the Cynthia Rowleys tonight now...<br /><br />Also, I'm so relieved not to be the only one disappointed in Lisette. Boxy is the perfect words for all too many of the designs! Though, I shouldn't say too much either, as I did love 2209, one of their firsts. I hope your pattern turns out well!Mary Danielsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13375674341038153250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337174006238935251.post-29162029812704432242012-02-18T15:36:39.526-06:002012-02-18T15:36:39.526-06:00Montana, you are my heroine.

You're right, Leanne's sculptural style is really what sets her apart. I'm thrilled that these two patterns reflect that! They can't start popping up on Burdastyle soon enough for me either.

I'm guessing they're having their $.99 Simplicity sale to help make room for the new collection. Anyway, YES that shirt PR dress pattern is right up my alley. And I agree with you about Lisette... sometimes you can definitely tell that they are children's pattern designers dabbling in misses' patterns. The designs tend to be too boxy or too high-cut or something. But I'm working on a Lisette pattern as we speak so I shouldn't rag too hard!Andrea (four square walls)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16918273093902968654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337174006238935251.post-28143479700828575452012-02-18T09:26:27.485-06:002012-02-18T09:26:27.485-06:00Oh dear, these are fantastic!

I don't know if you have a Jo-Ann's close, but this weekend only it is their president's day sale and all simplicity patterns are 5 for $5.... so a dollar a piece.

When seeing her winning collection at the FITM, I fell in love with it for a second time. I think what people like about her designs the most (me too) are the sculptural details. It's awesome that we home sewers can now recreate the look without getting a headache while trying to draft them ourselves. Now I personally also wouln't wear it because of my body type and Simplicity patterns aren't that easy to get here in Europe (for a fair price) but I can't wait for versions to pop up at Burdastyle ect...Katarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08814120774835076488noreply@blogger.com
