Clothes Patterns ?

Hi

I fancy trying to make some clothes, where do you all buy your sewing clothes patterns from ?

Thanks

  • Hi there,
    I used to live in east yorkshire and there is a chain store there called Boyes. They sell sewing patterns. Not sure where you are so that may not be useful. Otherwise I would try ebay. HTH. :-)

    I buy a lot of mine from the market haberdashery stall. They carry the makes Burda and Simplicity. Ebay is good but watch the styles as some are sold as 'vintage' when they just mean old fashioned! Unless that's the look you're going for :) John Lewis has some too I'm told but I've never looked as I don't often shop in Manchester town centre. HTH

    I look in charity shops - they always seem to have them in a box somewhere - and many of them are great (and cheap) :D If you are after new ones, then I've ordered from these guys before and found them to be a nice company to deal with.
