I bought some new sewing patterns this weekend. Not that I really need new patterns. I just can't resist when they're on sale.

Vogue V8657
I love this jacket. And I'm strangely tempted by the pleated waist, tapered pants.

Vogue V1159
This pattern is for knit fabrics and only requires about 2 yards of fabric. The technical drawing really shows the details.

McCalls M6083
View D is my favorite. I've been thinking about making a jumpsuit for a while. It might be time to dive in. Maybe with some of the chambray I bought this weekend...

Vogue V1134 by Anna Sui
I love the bodice and sleeves of this pattern. I think I'll make it with a knee-length skirt. Full length seems so dowdy.

The cascading ruffle sold me. And the round collar of View B is classic.
