New Vogues!

I enjoy seeing what people are picking from the just released Fall Vogue patterns so here is what I plan to order in the next sale.  (I just missed the latest deadline by a couple of hours - never mind there will be another soon and it's not like I have no other patterns to sew).  I also picked up my August Burda and apart from the pyjama-y section I think it's a great issue.

I have been sewing and have a top and 2 dresses to blog, just waiting for the weather to brighten up a bit so I can get some half decent photos.  Hong Kong got hit by a big typhoon this week and it hasn't stopped raining since.

Anyway....

1316 Rebecca Taylor colourblock dress
I know making this will drive me nuts!


1321 Donna Karan coat.  
I really don't need another coat, but then I probably don't need any more dresses either and it doesn't stop me making them.



1324 Donna Karan blouse & skirt
This is my favourite.



8825 Knit dress





8827 Wrap dress, for wovens & with a draped neckline (also options for pleat neckline or half & half)





8831 Cowl neck raglan sleeve knit tops (also option for long sleeves and hi-lo hem)

    Poor old HK, sure got a bucketing (as Aussies would say). Glad I wasn't there shopping, would have been most inconvenient! I like your choices of the new Vogues. They have some nice design lines.

    I was looking at them when I realized they were on sale, so I got a few, but left the more fall/winter ones for the next sale. I have your favorites on my list too!

    Oooh. I like that color blocked dress. I couldn't figure out what it looked like from the model photo, the line drawing is enticing!

    Love your selections, and I can't wait to see what you make! I'm also interested in the wrap dress - I actually like the longer length on that one.

    I don't hate this offering but I'm not head over heels the way that some other sewists are. I found 4 patterns that I wanted and purchased them in time for the sale. I'm sure that I will see others made up and purchase them in future sales. Can't wait for you to make a few of these up. You always have an interesting take on these.

    I want that 1st dress so bad, but I have to practice remaining clam first, cause it will drive me mad too!

    Ha, I think you and me and the entire sewing blogosphere fell in love with the colorblock dress. Looking forward to seeing what everyone makes. Looks like it has 5,000 pieces, though.
