However, I did not see a tab for Plus Sizes. I looked through the book several times just to be sure. Did I overlook them or have they been discontinued? Maybe there is another book that I did not see but the one I looked at seemed to have all the other patterns in it. They still appear on the ClubBMV website. ------ Total fabric on hand: 1/1/13 1683.731 yds Sewn in 2012: 176.212 yds 2013 Goal: 400 yds (again) Jan -- 38.0 (11 items) Feb -- 6.5 (5) March -- (8.5) (2) April -- 17.66(18) May -- () June -- () July -- () August -- () September -- () October November December Total yards sewn to date -- 53.0 yards

In fact, they are having a sale right now, but there aren't very many (if any) that are truly considered "plus size". I'm guessing that Joann's just isn't carrying a very broad range of their patterns. ------ Brother Innovis 1250D Singer Curvy 8763 Brother 1034D Janome 385.19606 Brother 2340CV

The only book they had was very small. I didn't look at the sizing, but I was very disappointed in the selection. Almost all one yard skirt, pull on pants and PJ pants with some shapeless tunics tossed in. The doll clothes were more interesting, if you sew for 18" dolls. -- Edited on 6/23/12 9:27 PM -- ------ 2009-113.25 yds 2010-115.5 2011-80.25+30+donated 2012 86.3 yds.. 2013 21.0 Everyone who sews seriously has a stockpile of fabrics, because it is natural to purchase more than can be sewn in any one season" Singer, Timesaving Sewing, 1987

I did pick up one child's pattern but having to pay over $4 postage makes the KS patterns a little expensive. Guess I'll stick to what I already have or grade up on the regular ones. ------ Total fabric on hand: 1/1/13 1683.731 yds Sewn in 2012: 176.212 yds 2013 Goal: 400 yds (again) Jan -- 38.0 (11 items) Feb -- 6.5 (5) March -- (8.5) (2) April -- 17.66(18) May -- () June -- () July -- () August -- () September -- () October November December Total yards sewn to date -- 53.0 yards

But I figure I still come out slightly ahead if I order enough at a time to jusify the shipping costs. It's certainly better than paying $12/each for those patterns! ------ Brother Innovis 1250D Singer Curvy 8763 Brother 1034D Janome 385.19606 Brother 2340CV
