OMG where to start???!!

Obviously, #2 maglia. Tonight! Maybe all weekend, several times.

And then I turned the page and saw the #6 little jersey canotta.

And the #10 little jersey Chanel-style giacchina! And then the silk crepe de chine #16 pantaloni (minus the elasticized cuffs; littlejazzbird, these would look outrageously fab on you!)

And you know all those flappy fabrics around lately,
like this and this and this...I've been looking at them online & wondering what one would make out of them. And LMB has the answer; a #23 giacchina!

Anyone else sewing up some May LMBs?

Wow we got great taste! I was going to mention the plus-size waterfall jacket, isn't it beautiful!!! Only I suck at sizing patterns down, so am just hoping LMB does non-plus size down the road with that pattern.

I've pulled out a ton of jersey and have it scattered all over the room, while I frantically sort & combine and reject and re-sort and re-combine for a few of those #2s.

I think my favorite is the navy ensemble. Is that the waterfall jacket? I've just counted my patterns, and at 150 I need to ween down before I inevitably sign up for LMB.

drat.... my subscription started with the June issue.... which I have here... lots and lots of boleros and dresses...
I haven't gotten onto the bolero craze, although I could see how it would be useful. Unfortunately, I don't need too many dresses. Anyone want to trade for a May issue?

Ah, you are making me want a copy. I like a few items in the issue. Particularly top #5. Unfortunately, I am definitely in loti's position: more than enough patterns already.

I showed my husband the 'plus size' model, and he said 'Plus what?'
