ive spent the last few hours browsing your site. I love it and i enjoyed what was looking like a mundane Saturday afternoon. Thank you for it all. I am desperately hoping one of the pattern companies picks up on Michael Clapton’s design for Danyaeres’ “dragon rider” coat/dress worn in series no’s 6,7,8. I’ll be following your site /blog in case you hear of this news before I do!! I already own a few G.O.T.s patterns.
Thanks so much, Elizabeth. It’s such a standout piece. We should be due at least one more set of Game of Thrones-inspired costume patterns, I think!
I just discovered your blog while trying to find out why my Vogue Pattern magazine renewal check was returned to me today after languishing in a PO box since February. What a sad ending to a magazine that was part of my sewing life (and my mother’s) since forever. I love your posts on designer patterns and knock-offs. I was obsessed with Vogue patterns appearing in Vogue magazine during the 90s (maybe the 80s as well), so I was fascinated to read your posts on this topic. Thank you!
