My Image Spring/Summer 2013 Now apparently with plus sizes up to size 56

Personally, I probably prefer their Autumn/Winter magazines in terms of items that I would actually make, but it's cheap enough (€6) that so long as there's one or two patterns I like the look of, I'll pick it up. Probably the most interesting thing, though it doesn't apply to me, is that they seem to have branched out into plus sizes, right up to size 56. Not clear from the cover whether they are going to be more like Ottobre (almost all patterns are in the full range of sizes) or more like Burda (a few specific Plus size patterns). -- Edited on 1/6/13 7:15 AM -- ------ http://sewingnovice.blogspot.co.uk/ One woman.

I've been wondering about the spring/summer issue and will take a closer look at jacket (or cardi?) 1307. The pants could also be interesting. Has anybody any experience with MyImage pants and how the crotch curve is drafted? Similar to burda or similar to HP or more like the Big4? -- Edited on 1/6/13 7:58 AM -- ------ Happy Sewing!

It looks to have the same frill at the wrist and waist, at any rate. ------ http://sewingnovice.blogspot.co.uk/ One woman. One sewing machine. One giant stack of fabric. What could possibly go wrong?

The print is so busy that it's hard to see the details, and the side view does not help to see the silhouette of the garment. I like the line drawing, however, and would ne ready to test the pants as long as they are not skinny jeans; that look is a no-no for me. ------ Happy Sewing!

Always refreshing to see plus size clothes modelled on plus size women, rather than the Burda Plus thing where I doubt the models are even close to a 44, let alone any of the larger sizes. ------ http://sewingnovice.blogspot.co.uk/ One woman.
