Favorite Issue (Moderated by Sharon1952)

I signed up for a one-year subscription to Ottobre magazine, beginning with the current children issue (4/2006 - autumn). As a new subscriber I get a bonus gift of an extra back issue magazine. Does anyone have any recommendations on good issues? I was only able to check out the 2006 magazines online. Any good issues in 2005 or 2004?

You might want to look on ebay. I was searching for Ottobre the other night and one seller was selling a bunch of back issues. You could at least see if the cover pattern look appealing.

I believe if you go to Ottobre's Webpage and click on the yellow arrow to the left of the 2006 covers, you'll see 2004 and 2005.

Ottobre website has a lot of back-issues listed where you can look inside. To see the other years click on the yellow arrow pointing left.

Thanks for the replies! I didn't see the yellow back arrow when I first viewed the site.

What age/gender are you sewing for--that would help with recommendations.

If it helps any, I ended up buying the 2/2005 issue. It has a few things for women that I want to try plus some great patterns for kids.
I chose the applique pack as my freebie with subscription (great help, but I wish I chose that back issue)

Some of my favorite issues for my girls (2 and almost 5) are 3/2004, 4/2004 and 1/2005. I also really liked both spring and summer issues this year but many didn't. Definitely get a back issue as your gift!!

I think my favorite issue is 2/05 - I have 3 boys and a girl. Happy shopping, it's fun to look at the back issues (and buy them too
).
