Newsflash - My Image Spring/Summer 2012 Announced

My Image is one of the newer European sewing magazines, so I don't know how many people are die-hard followers as of yet.  I was lucky enough to get the first three issues from my sister when she came back from Europe for the holidays.  I haven't made anything as of yet, but I must say that their coats look fabulous.  I tend to be more excited by their Fall/Winter issues, but they do have a few cute dresses and tops.  You can browse the latest issue of the magazine here.

The latest edition

I am liking dress 1216

And dress 1205

Another simple dress, but I like it.

I also like this cute summer jacket.

Also, the producers of My Image magazine will be releasing their own pattern line, Imagewear Patterns, in March.  Should be interesting to see what they come up with.  In the meantime, I will have to test out some of the My Image patterns for myself.

Has anyone else tried the My Image patterns?  I know that the M1005 top has been quite popular on Pattern Review, but I was wondering if anyone has tried any of their more complicated patterns?  It seems the longer I look at their designs, the more I find I like, so I am thinking I will (possibly) be making quite a few of the My Image patterns up in the near(-ish) future.

  1. I hadn't heard of this magazine before but I've now ordered the back issues and signed up for a subscription for the year. I really liked at least one thing in each mag (and more than one in a couple) and each mag only costs about the same price as a single pattern does here in the UK so I think it's a worthwhile investment.

    1. Yes, I agree that the price is quite reasonable, and I really like the fact that you can still order the older issues of the magazine, as some of my favorite pieces are in the first issue (Fall/Winter 2010/2011). And I love the look of their coats and jackets - stylish but practical.

  2. 16 patterns for €4,95 or $9.95?? That's very cheap if you ask me.
    I also ordered a copy and got in 4 days. Nice magazine, very different/more appealing style than some magazines over here... Thanks for the tip! ;-)
