Date: 1/26/09 6:13 PM Thanks -- great article, as always. Definitely a knits theme in the best patterns, isn't there?  ------

Date: 1/26/09 7:43 PM Great article - thanks! Yes, I'm seeing a lot of knits. I think there are two reasons. 1/ Knits are definitely faster to sew, and 2. Aren't there just some fabulous knits out there! ------

Date: 1/26/09 8:37 PM I love the article. It is great for beginners like myself to see what people have success with!
Do you think PR would ever do a Favourite Children's Patterns? I would love to see that and there are quite a few of us here who sew for children. Next page>> |

Date: 1/26/09 8:43 PM Thanks for this terrific article - it is always so much fun to read PR's annual article on favorite patterns. I love sewing with knits, but have seen many comments from PR members who are hesitant to sew with knits. This article and these patterns really provide positive encouragement! Next page>> |
