Bad offerings, poor customer service and other problems do not make one really inspired. Even so, Burda and Manequim both have similar designs that look a lot better then some of these.

Pretty unusual. :) I rather like the lines on the Khaliah Ali jacket and skirt. The made-up jacket is just ok, but the line drawing looks nice. ------ http://communingwithfabric.blogspot.com/

Date: 7/29/12 6:05 AM I think they lost some design team members or they just got lazy. These are Becky HomeEcky basic boring patterns. Project Runway patterns show a basic shift and basic coat. The Leanne Marshall dress is just another shirtdress and the Cynthia Rowley design is a basic jacket. For Fall. With holes. They could have at least included the second layer in the envelope. Steampunk = edgy Victorian styles and last I checked, no nylon nor lycra during Victorian period and their other costume offerings suck. No period historical patterns-- just fairytale costuming. Even the children's patterns are dull. And then we have the predictable patterns to sell trim. The It's So Easy was also subpar. I think in 1970's terms Simplicity gave us a "Jiffy" release. This was just underwhelming after the Vogue release. I don't know why new sewists would be attracted to this line.
