Does anyone have any idea why we got so few nice Project Runway, Fashion Star, and designer patterns the past few pattern releases? Anyone have an ear to the ground on what is behind the scarcity?

I agree, not much new & exciting on the pattern front these days. The bright side is that I am saving $ by not wanting or buying new patterns!

Fashion Star (tv show) was cancelled. Not sure what's happening with Project Runway...the branding has been split between Simplicity and New Look?

Maybe there wasn't anything 'worthy' enough??

Wrong time of year maybe, as Fall/winter stuff has been out a while and still a bit early for Spring/Summer stuff. So I think a lot of the most innovative and unusual stuff comes out and ends up in the books or collections, more on a seasons change like that.
