Where do you get your patterns from?

I’m slowly turning OS and I’ve started to make some of my own clothes, I was just wondering if anyone could recommend any web sites where to buy patterns from :D

    I love the vogue patterns and I can't find anywhere to buy these online. I too am interested in any feed back.
    Also is there anywhere to buy fabric online?

    Hang on... we have several threads on sewing which have links to patterns. While I pop off and look for a recent thread I'm sure I've seen (I'll edit it back in here) take a look at the Craftwork section of the MEGA Index sticky.

    thanks for that twink I wondered how to get those back again,I really miss them I often bought the mag on the strength of it being a useful pattern.You often see these patterns listed on ebay by the way and they do go pretty cheaply

    This is my 4th attempt at replying to this thread - the PC was playing up!

    I was also going to suggest https://www.sewingpatterns.com, or there's https://www.sewdirect.com which is the site for Vogue, Butterick and <cCalls patterns and is in U.K.
