By now I'm sure most sewists have heard the news that our beloved Big Four paper patterns have been sold to a liquidator. The idea that we might lose pattern patterns altogether, along with the only North American presses that can even print tissue, is very sad. (Full story here).
I have been sewing with paper patterns my whole life -- in fact I still have the first paper pattern I ever used! I love the ease of use, and the cover art, just the whole package. Good thing I have a large collection.
But my local fabric store is selling off their paper patterns & then that's it. So I decided to take advantage of the sale, at least for the Butterick & McCalls patterns on my wishlist. (Vogue are still too expensive for me).
These are the ones I picked up.
I will look for a few more on my list but I am still hoping that some company somewhere will buy them & get them running again.
