Spring Vogues!

They're here! They showed previews on social media, getting everyone all pumped up!

I was flipping through them yesterday and was bored :/ Not much is my aesthetic in this release; but that's okay, right???

Two MUST haves:

1440, a DK pattern that doesn't seem too exciting until you look at the lines

THAT JACKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the top too!

1436, an AK wardrobe pattern

I don't know if I can be swayed from 9032 but these pants have a similar type of shape and I like the welts. The star, imo, is the blouse. VERY pretty and abundant with interesting details.

I want to sew that top NOW.

Cute but...

9075, a dress and jumpsuit pattern

I like the drawing better than the live model or the tech drawing; so I probably won't buy this one. Unless I see it done up in a fabulous way.

Most of the rest of the collection wasn't interesting to me at all. 

9076 seems indicative of where spring is heading; everyone will be wearing 5 yards of fabric on them at any given time.

and I love a peplum but for the love of all that is good in the world please just STOP!

9084

*****************

Because I have major sewing attention deficit; I have abandoned all in-progress sewing after coming across this lace:

And deciding to sew this dress:

I cut and assembled the front pieces only as I was SO excited to see how it would read

I'm wearing it Saturday so it will be finished post-haste!

(NL 6261, nude colored ponte, slightly metallic non-stretch lace, sleeves will be left sheer)

Vogue Spring Release

My absolute favorite:


1389: LOVE. I love this jacket, the skirt and the top. Just love it all.










Loves:


8972: I mean...RIGHT?!? This dress (I prefer the straight skirt) is gorgeous.










1387: I don't think the line drawings do this top justice. It's gorgeous. It's soft and feminine and the pleats and gathers are just right.








8979: I like this...I don't know if I'll buy it, but I like it.



Not for me but...:


8975: After finding and devouring every post on their blog; I'm gaining an appreciation for the Tilton's :) Not that I would make this, because I wouldn't...but the people who lover their designs will love this, I'm sure.







1388: I want to like this with the interesting collar treatment but I know it isn't something that's really practical for me...so I shouldn't buy it.





8990: I don't make and have no real interest in making bags (aside from easy drawstring knitting project bags) but these are really cool. I like 3 of the 4 views.







1383: So sweet but the ruffles...eh. I'm really liking the sweetheart neckline too. Can the ruffles be left off?!?! LOL!






1379: I would never in a million years buy, sew or wear this, but I know some fashionista sewer is going to sew this up and make it look like a million bucks, and I'll be wondering how in the hell she did that with that pattern. c'est la vie. Right?






Cute neckline detail
