Ottobre Magazine is usually the first place I look when I get the itch to sew a jacket or coat, but all their patterns are well designed. I love the little details they include that you don't get from big name patterns. One magazine could last you a whole year with the amount of patterns included! They are giving one of my readers a year's subscription because they are on my "few of my favorite things" list!

At least the jackets were warm - heaven forbid we should find ourselves making them again. On the other hand those little ottobre shirts with ruffles are just heavenly.
ReplyDeleteWhooooooaaaa. That baby looks exactly like Drummer. (Or possibly the other way around . . . ).
ReplyDeleteOoo, i would love this! i forgot about ottobre as a pattern source. how could i?! :) and look at cute baby drummer in a quilted jacket. ;)
