I got mine! Patterns, that is. Club BMV is having a huge sale through Saturday. For club members only, all patterns are $4.95 each (limit 10 per customer). Here’s what I got:
Vogue 1259 by Donna Karan
I need a few fabulous dresses, ad this one fits the bill beautifully. I think I’ll make it up with
Lightweight Cotton Jersey
Lightweight Cotton Jersey in Plum. How specatacular will that be?
Vogue 1254 by Anne Klein
I just lurve the lines of this dress. It will be interesting doing a FBA on it. I haven’t decided which fabric I want to use for it, but I’m leaning toward a wool crepe. This one has black, white, and a smattering of navy in it, which keeps it interesting without overwhelming me with navy (not my best color).
Fabulous Wool Crepe – Black/White/Navy Melange
Vogue 8744
The raglan lines on this are just spectacular, aren’t they? I just got this rayon doubleknit in, and I think it will look stunning.
Designer Rayon Doubleknit – British Tan
For DH, I got this shirt:
Vogue 8759
I’ll let him pick out the fabric.
And as long as I’m thinking about shirts…
Vogue Basic Design 8747
Love that it has the A/B/C/D options. I need a new white shirt, so I may go with this jacquard.
“Corded” Italian Stretch Cotton Shirting – White
And finally, these leggings will be so fun! I think I’ll make View D
McCalls 6404
I’ve been looking for a pattern to match up with this Super-Stretch Heavy RPL, and this is it!
That’s what I got – how about you?
Happy sewing!
I also love Vogue 1254 by Anne Klein and need a FBA! Would you be willing to post how you do your FBA when you get around to working on the pattern? It would be GREATLY appreciated!
Welcome back!
I love the neckline on the Anne Klein 1254, but I need to cut back to purchasing only patterns I’d actually wear, not those I’d love to wear if I had the lifestyle to wear them in. I do like AND would wear the 8747 shirt though!
OK, I’ll still purchase dress patterns I can maybe tweak into a top, or those with a high “how’d they do that” factor.
Yes, I did just finish ordering 5 patterns, a Butterick 5645, 5638, Vogue 1257, 1261 and 8750! You picked some great patterns and fabrics!!
I was just getting ready to place my order! I love Vogue 1259. The pattern description says “no provision for above waist adjustment.” Does this mean that an fba would be impractical/impossible?
I saw that this morning that Club BMV are having this sale. You’ve made some great choices. I have the Donna Karan on my list as well. Somehow I missed the red dress. I have to revisit this one.
Ditto Lisa’s comment–I love V1254 though I haven’t purchased it yet. I’d love to see your FBA as well. I have to adjust for a D cup, but I think I could make it work. I love your taste in patterns. I can’t wait to see your finished products. Enjoy the journey! Vita
I am about to cut out V1254 – fingers crossed! I love this pattern and I have chosen hot pink wool crepe to brighten up my Australian winter black wardrobe. Any helpful hints ?!
