The l
atest collection of New Look patterns has been released on the Simplicity website. Even though this collection is a lot smaller than the Simplicity set, and even though about half of the patterns are for children, it is still infinitely more interesting. Which isn't to say there are a lot of patterns I here I am wanting to buy, but at least it isn't totally snoozeworthy. (Get it - snoozeworthy? Since Simplicity released about 12 sleepwear patterns...) Anyway, there isn't really anything here that I don't already have sitting around in a Burda somewhere, but I suppose a few of the patterns are at least worth a look.

NL6231 - It has taken me a year but I am finally starting to sort of get on board
with the whole peplum trend. I think the jacket is pretty cute actually. |
 |
NL6227 - I think there are some nice options on this cape pattern.
Though ever time I see a new cape pattern all I can think of is Edna screaming "No capes!!!" |
 |
| NL 6224 - Nice basic dress pattern. View C is pretty cute. |
 |
| NL 6223 - Another decent basic dress pattern. |
 |
| NL 6230 - Who can't use a good raglan sleeve top? |
 |
NL 6228 - If you don't already have some good pencil
skirt patterns this looks like it has a few decent options... |
Of course, there were a few head scratchers as well...
 |
NL 6226 - If that jacket was sent down the runway in that fabric
we all know Michael Kors would call it a 1980s reject garment. |
 |
| NL 6232 - Unisex shirt patterns... Just say no! |
And, just for fun, anyone else want to
plop this kid on a Roomba?
And that's what they got. Once again nothing I am really dying to buy and make up. One of the great things about having a pattern stash I guess. So, what do you all think? Anything here that is super exciting? Is anybody actually inspired to sew for fall yet? Or are we just stuck in a rut of boring pattern releases?
These are an improvement over Simplicity, but I think they are uninspired. Luckily I have patterns collected from more interesting decades. ;)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely better than Simplicity, but still rather basic. Am I the only one that thinks the tops and skirts in 6230 are a really odd match to be in the same pattern envelope? I mean, they are both nice basics, but I wouldn't make an outfit out of them.
ReplyDeleteNo you aren't the only one, the top looks way too casual for the skirt. Strange choice.
DeleteI totally agree. Would have made much more sense to pair the pencil skirt with the peplum jackets, and the pants with the raglan shirts.
