OR do you use Simplicity/McCall's patterns as well?

I was looking through the pattern books at Hobby Lobby tonight and was amazed at how many FUN patterns are in there that are designed by the SAME designers of quilt shop patterns! Especially tote bags/purses and GIFTY items!
and the prices for these patterns are SOOOOOO much cheaper than anything you can buy at the LQS!

I always forget about the Simplicity and McCall's patterns! I think next time I am at Hancock's or Joann's, I will check them out!

I use patterns from magazines, books, LQS, freebies on the internet, just about anywhere I find a pattern I like the look of. I am all over the board when it comes to patterns.

I use patterns from many places. LQS, pattern books, free websites, etc.

mostly, i use my EQ

I also use patterns from all over the place. The only time I look at Simplicity, etc., is when they are on sale for 99 cents.

Patterns?

LOL I've never fully followed one in my life I don't think...even when I sewed for me and my sons.

I don't buy individual patterns. I prefer the traditional patterns and most of those are free online :D

No. I look everywhere.

did you know that you can browse the patterns online??
