Date: 12/12/12 6:22 PM I think they are new offerings. I don't think I have seen so many bikes ... and only one helmet... |

Date: 12/12/12 6:58 PM Wow, that's a lot of bikes. And a lot of kids' clothes. I like the top, skirt and pants of 6711, otherwise I am meh about this collection. ------ I've moved! Visit my new sewing blog at http://chiralcraft.wordpress.com

Date: 12/12/12 7:21 PM Yikes. The bikes are a little distracting.
I like is the short-sleeved version of 6713 and the dress & skirt of 6711.
6709 reminds me of Simplicity 2149, New Look 6151, and Butterick 5334 (oop).

Date: 12/12/12 10:14 PM The only one I like is 6697. However, "if" I got the pattern, I would try to make it so the diagonal stripes go continuously around the body, instead of Vee-ing at the sides. -- Edited on 12/12/12 10:15 PM -- ------ from Daytona Beach, FL

 2 members like this. Date: 12/13/12 9:56 AM Of the collection, which is 'wheely wheely' early for spring (get it??)
I like two that are nicely trendy:
Lace inset top:

And the Tux stripe pant, which is all over the interweb fashionistas:
