You stay off the internet for a week and it gets really easy to miss things, like new pattern announcements. Except, well, I don't know that missing this announcement would have mattered much. It is even more boring than the McCall's release I looked at yesterday. In fact, I think it is entirely possible I looked at this before, thought I had already seen these patterns, and completely ignored this release entirely. In any case here is what Simplicity has got for
early autumn:
 |
S1585: Project Runway pattern.
Is cute, but not necessarily my style. |
 |
S1586: Amazing Fit sheath dress.
Continues the color blocking trend in a simple style. |
 |
S1587: A 1940s Retro pattern.
Looks similar to the other 1940s pattern released earlier this year. |
 |
S1590: Another 1940s Retro pattern.
Actually sort of cute, and up with the peplum trend. |
 |
| S1592: A wardrobe pattern. Sort of meh. |
 |
| S1593: Another wardrobe pattern. More meh. |
 |
S1589: Rather boring top.
But apparently this pattern will help you learn to sew? |
 |
| S1594: Cynthia Rowley does babies. |
 |
| S1597: Cute bag pattern. Probably the least boring thing in the entire release. |
So, what do you all think? The Retro patterns are cute, but look like previous pattern releases. The modern clothes are sort of boring I think. When the best pattern is for basic purses you know it isn't a fun day in patternland. Overall... meh.
I don't think it is possible to have created a more boring fall collection. You are right, we have seen all of this before, with the possible exception of the retro peplum blouse. meh.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I like here is the baby romper, and I don't even know any babies!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise that the McCalls ones were new either, because they certainly weren't new *ideas*. I do always like reading your reviews though!
Meh too...
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of a good thing these are all so boring, because there is no more room in my pattern drawers.
