Spring Pattern Releases - Simplicity, McCall's and Vogue!

I have so many blog posts that need writing; I never did a December wrap-up/January planning post...I need to blog a cardigan and 2 dresses. OY!

But for now...let's talk patterns!

Simplicity's site has gone from bad to worse. Now, sure, it "looks" better but it isn't functional! Not even a little bit!!!!! And in their usual fashion, their patterns are up on Pattern Review and in store before they're available for viewing on the Simplicity website. Sigh.

I think this was an ok release. Nothing too exciting but I did snag a few:

I've been looking for a dress with bodice overlay and I just love this!!!

Bonus - Cup Sizing!

I think the envelope is boring but I think there's potential in this vest.

I'm not a huge fan of the Mimi G line of patterns in general but I do love jumpsuits.

This one has nice details like the back yoke and partial placket that made it a go for me.

I do LOVE CR and will buy EVERY PATTERN THAT COMES OUT!

This jacket and pants is so 70s chic!

Honorable mention:

I'm wondering if this is an update to the ever popular S2700 Amazing Fit pattern

S2700

McCall's was mostly formal wear and "meh" for me.

I do like this but I think it's because of fabric+cute model.

And I like this a lot (mainly views A and B) but feel like I shouldn't :-p

Vogue!

I picked up the new Simplicity patterns over a week ago in Hancock and saw the Vogues but wasn't moved. Looking at them now, I kind of like A LOT of them. First up; the patterns that may be added to the collection:
