Well, let's just start out with what we love, shall we??
Love the raglan jacket...would never do just one button though...but it gives a great opportunity for a somewhat structured, casual jacket. Okay, I don't know about that cropped top but it is dang cute.
Maybe if I meet my weight loss goal?? :)
This shape would work great for me
The butt bow? It will not work. Will not work...
'Yes. Yes please!
What do we like but will not buy??
I like the idea of this but it is intended to be lined and it takes a lot of fabric. I'm not going to make a dress that needs 4 yards of fabric. I know I wont.
I love a peplum and LOVE the pleating but I don't like the neckline and I have 3 or 4 peplum top patterns already.
Love the waistline pintucks...the neckline pintucks? Not so much
These are iffy. I bought a Vogue pattern for a tapered, casual pant. These have elastic in back. MAYBE at a $1 sale...
Cute. Just cute. And it takes like NO fabric to make tiny knit things!
The Meh:
Not me...and look at this horrid fabric choice. Poor model
The irons must be out of service at Butterick...
And my favorite category...Repeat that Pattern!

I get it...the See & Sew patterns are only $3. If you don't have access to the cheapie sales at JoAnn and Hancock (and Hobby Lobby??) then you can get a pattern that you like for $3 versus the full price. AND I could actually see preferring to get something when there's only 1 or 2 items in the envelope (if you like them) versus an envelope full of stuff you don't need. I have seriously contemplated throwing away the pattern pieces for the "slim" and "curvy" fits of my Simplicity 2700 pants. It makes it so bulky and I will never need them.
I digress.
Definitely getting that wardrobe pattern and Gertie's nightie pattern at the next sale!
