News Flash: Independent Pattern Designers - Add Insult to Injury...

... just when I thought I could stop lusting over independent patterns - look what's being released tomorrow by Closet Case Files
I was able to far-go her Morgan Jean pattern; and from time to time I still wrestle with my frugal inner self over her Carolyn Pajama pattern.  However, I think it might a be a little tossing and turning tonight caused by Heather Lou's new Kelly Anorak jacket pattern. You best believe I'm going to present a strong case to frugal inner self over this one, because I've wanted something like this in my life for a long, long time.  I don't know if it's Sallie O's  illustrations or Heather's actual pattern designs that grab my attention so strongly. Although I don't have a little puppy to take for a walk, I can already see myself wearing this jacket on a Winnie the Pooh type blustery winter day in the misty rain and falling leaves.  You get the picture right...

      I have to be careful with "treating myself" Kyle, I tend to take it too far (lol)!

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day on days like that.
    I kind of wish you hadn't shown that pattern because now I want it too!

      No Orymonster, you are not alone! I love those WP kind of days that usually happens in November around Thanksgiving or early December for me. Oh how I love misty rainy days! So for showing the pattern, just couldn't help myself...

    LOVE this. I tracked down a McCalls one that I liked but I've been scared to cut it because I haven't worked with jacket hardware that would go into an anorak. So I've been waiting to make it.

    But now that I see THIS, I will probably get it because Heather always does amazing hand holding through her patterns and I know the instructions will be great.

    I actually have both sizes of the mccalls 6531 (oop) anorak. If you fall into the larger size (L and up) I can send it to you! That's if you don't fall into the trap of this one lol

      Tasha YOU are always so sweet. I'm pretty sure I have that McCall's pattern already (with my patternaholic self). Thanks for the offer. Can't wait to see your Anorak!

    You think you can swear off something, and then a new shiny thing arrives in front of your eyes, and BOOM! You're hooked! I hope you can make this jacket for your Winnie the Pooh days!

    That's a great design. Anorak's can be interpreted in so many ways and I don't think one can ever have enough. I like Simplicity 2153 for mine, very similar but with zip down the front. Can't wait to see what you do with this.
