Renren said... Looks like just the dress to keep you warm and snug in your new locale! As usual, a very informative review! Oh, yes, and a very nice jumper! The habutoi (sp?) silk as lining is something I have taken note of. 11/19/10 8:54 AM
AuntieShel said... What a cute jumper! I used to love the Style line, not sure if they were an offshoot of Simplicity. 11/19/10 10:15 AM
AnitaJJ said... That's a very cute dress on you. And warm and practical too. I have several Style patterns, sorry they went out of business. 11/19/10 11:07 AM
marec said... Really nice jumper and the review is so well written that I feel I could make this jumper right now. I have 2 jumper patterns and am thinking they would be good spring dresses. 11/19/10 12:02 PM
jannw said... very nice jumper and an interesting review. Very interesting how methods and notions have changed in a few years. 11/19/10 10:40 PM
Margaret said... Thanks!! AuntieShel, my understanding was that the company was eventually bought by Simplicity and they continued to sell some of their patterns or use the name for a while... then stopped. Anita, I'm sorry they went out of business too -- I have a couple coat patterns from them that I really liked. 11/20/10 9:50 AM
Annette1 said... LO, these many years later, I'm STILL mourning the loss of the Style patterns. And they had REALLY cute patterns for little girls, too. So I'm PARTICULARLY glad to see your review of this cute little jumper. It looks great on you, and just think of all you can wear it with. :o) Every now and then I search the internet for Styles, but there's not a whole lot of them out there. Great job! 11/20/10 7:35 PM
Margaret said... Thanks! I remember looking at those cute children's patterns too, even though I had no kids in mind to sew for!! 11/21/10 4:44 AM
