Patterns and Postcards Part II Pattern Magazines
Contemporary Pattern Magazines- Part II of III (or thereabouts)
Patterns and Postcards is an inter-blog swapfest.
Part I lists all of the vintage patterns I have up for swap. This post lists the (new and improved) guidelines along with a list of participating members. Which, I guess, makes this the main course. Most of my magazines (read the Patrones) were hard-won in epic, deranged, exceptionally non-Romulan, evilbay battles. Which means if you want to swap for them you’re going to have to get out the big guns.
Things I’m interested in swapping for :
Patterns magazines and books – Knipmode Magazines (May 2006, August 2007, October 2007, February 2008 and August 2010), older Burda, Patrones and La Mia Boutique magazines, Japanese sewing books.
Envelope patterns – Vogue Designer patterns and patterns for knit fabric garments (especially Jalie/ Hot Patterns) sizes 4-10 depending on the manufacturer.
So go on, make me an offer (once you’ve read this).
Click on the image to go to a ThingLink page where every magazine is linked (by little coloured circles) to pattern summary shots and/ or reviews and/ or full browse-throughs.
One down.
Jump on it.





Hopefully I can entice you to swap me one of your magazines for a few of my patterns. I’ve never had a burda and that stitch magazine looks like it’d be fun too. Any particular type of patterns you’re looking for: tops, dresses or pants? I plan to take pics and post next week.
I’d mentioned it in the last post but I’ve edited this post and added it here again. I don’t generally sew from envelope patterns but Vogue designer patterns or patterns for knit fabric garments would be cool.
Oh tragedy, I don’t think I have anything like that. Hopefully someone else will make a trade. Thanks for organizing!
You can still list your stuff because I’ll link your post and then people who are looking for what you’ve got listed can find you and swap with you.
Okay this is an amazing swap…I have nothing that compares to all this goodness!
Noooo list the stuff you don’t need somewhere! You might not want it anymore but others’ll be goin’ “ormegerd! I has been searching for that pattern for two yeas!!” Links to other things here.
