  • or try www.sewingpatterns.com also in the States, and they often have good offers. I think the price of Vogue patterns is scandalous over here, makes me really angry when you see the Americans enjoying pattern sales of a dollar and less.

    Butterick are half price online at the moment, which sometimes means that Vogue will be half price soon. Sorry to be so vague!

    Don't know about Vogue specifically, but New Look are cheap at the moment 1/2 price I think.
    Try: https://www.sewingpatterns.com, American site, but pretty cheap and they ship worldwide. Watch out for customs charges, though.

    If you like Burda, there are some free ones here:

    I think the price of patterns here is scandulous, full stop!
  • I agree, Liz, but Vogue takes the biscuit. I only use them as a last resort for something really special. Burda fit me better anyway, and I get their monthly magazine which has loads of patterns in to trace off so more of a bargain!

  • habithat had a sale on, hang on I'll find the link.
  • All the new look patterns are reduced to £2.95 and p&p is reasonable to.

  • My DD wanted a special dance dress. As she was away at Uni we looked on the internet site together and found a pattern that she liked. I went into town to buy (at an extortionate price) only to be told that it was not yet available in this country. I ordered it direct from Vogue in America and it came within a few days at a fraction of the cost of buying it here. Their service is fantastic and I would use them again - but as others have said the cost of patterns is soo expensive that I only buy if I really have to. I also check out Burda Moden each month and see if there are patterns that I might use cos at £3.50 for many patterns it is a bargain.
