In the meantime, my blogger friend Carol from G-Cas found a pattern with very similar design lines in her stash and was kind enough to send it right out to me. Sewing friends are the BEST!

#BLOGLIKECRAZY 29: HAPPY MAIL...
...almost all of us have that one elusive pattern. You know, - that one that's so hard to get our hands on. No matter how many patterns we have in our stashes, there is always that ONE that puts us on a MAD PATTERN HUNT. That One pattern for me is Vogue 8601. Why I didn't buy this pattern when released - I just don't know.
I've been searching for this pattern for several years. But alas, I've found that I am not the only one looking for this very same pattern. Another searcher says that she thinks this pattern "HAS SIMPLY LEFT THE PLANET"! I just refuse to believe that. I think there is one somewhere lurking in another sewist's stash just waiting to be sent out to me.

I will put on my sewist thinking cap and redesign the bottom section of this pattern to make it work for me. But I still don't believe that Vogue 8601 just got up and left the planet...

I hope you find your pattern Faye! This is how I think my pattern got so unwieldy - I discovered that they go out of print and if you don't get it now maybe you never will :) I haven't come across that issue yet but I can imagine how frustrating it is!
ReplyDeleteKathleen you are so right, they do eventually go out of print. Some sooner than others. I should have gotten it, but some how I didn't, but I keep holding on the hope that some day it will come to me.
DeleteI was like, SHE GOT IT! I am confident that you'll find it!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the vote of confidence KS. I feel that way too, it has got to come to me!
DeleteI’m really happy you got something very similar and hope you can “make it work” for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Myra!
DeleteSome patterns I think you could use to create
ReplyDeletethe look of Vogue 8601:
Vogue 8939; Vogue 8931; Vogue 1132;
McCall 7288; and Butterick 6103
They all need some modification to
create the look of the original. How much modification depends on what it is about the original that you like.
Anonymous thank you, these were ALL wonderful suggestions. To my surprise someone has gifted me Vogue 8601 since this post. I am a happy camper.
