KnipMode's redesign & pdf pattern store Individual patterns to purchase
squirrellypoo Advanced UNITED KINGDOM Member since 3/27/05 Posts: 1524	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 11/13/12 7:26 AM I hadn't checked KnipMode's site in a while, but I was recently alerted to the fact that they've finally redesigned their website, and in doing so, have also added the ability to purchase individual patterns as pdfs for €4.99 or paper versions for €9.95. KnipMode Pattern Shop The prices look to be comparable to Burda's (even though KnipMode's magazine is rather more expensive), and the selection seems to be mostly from the last few issues (unfortunately the glory days of KnipMode during 2008-2010 aren't available), but I'm tempted by this twist dress, especially after reading Sigrid's review of the top version! Has anyone purchased one of their pdf patterns yet and can comment on the experience? Oh, and I love that when I roll my mouse over the patterns, it shows a clear view of the tech drawing!! Why can't the Big 4 and Burda understand that sewists want to see this?? -- Edited on 11/13/12 7:28 AM -- ------ www.fehrtrade.com

I love that I can see by garment type, number of items per page, etc. but the line drawing roll-over feature just KILLS!!!! I second the knit dress you like but I LURVE KM1107-11 : KM1103-20 is cute too but the finished garment is a bit blah (must be the non-colors): I think this new age in online sewing is going to be terrible for my budget... ------ Fashion Maté, where I blog about what I (eventually) sew : http://fashionmate.blogspot.com Addicted to Pinterest?

Sorry, I am cheating and reading during moments of a busy day at work and I don't seem to be multitasking well... ------ http://beccabeckstuff.blogspot.com/ Damn the muslin, full speed ahead!

I was NOT referring to their downloadable patterns. I have no experience with these, but I like the idea they are more accessible to those who have difficulty obtaining the magazine. Sigrid PS: only stitched the hem of the top yesterday and waiting for a photo-opportunity to write a review. It's a great pattern. -- Edited on 11/13/12 1:42 PM -- ------ http://sigridsewingprojects.blogspot.com/

The only disappointment is that KM don.t include PayPal as a payment option - Visa in Australia charges a hefty international transaction fee, whereas Paypal is convenient and no fees.
