U 2 Can Knock This Off May 12, 2006
by Diva Phyllis
After you’ve been sewing for a while, you start to notice patterns that are almost dead ringers for RTW, and vice versa. So with that in mind, BEHOLD:
The top on the left is from a brand new Anthropologie catalog; the top on the right is from the latest issue of Patrones, a Spanish sewing & fashion magazine that Diva Els sent to me. This pattern is bound into the magaazine and you can trace it off.
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
What a gorgeous summer top! Who designed the one in Patrones? May I whine yet again about it being too expensive to subscribe to Patrones and Knip Mode? Wah.
I have that issue of Patrones - I bought it for that top pattern! It’s designed by Mango. I just grab them off ebay when they come up. I love your ladies blogs, I found them from Patternreview!
Just discovered your blog via Gigi’s site. This is such a great post - very inspiration to wannabes like me.
