Garment Sewists, lots has been going on at the Garment Gal meetings this year!
In February we had an interesting and informative program about Peggy Sagers' Patterns. The presenter was Bonny Carmicino who had recently attended a workshop/program with Peggy Sagers herself.
Did you know that if you are interested in sewing the most current styles, Peggy Sagers Patterns are the way to go? Peggy purchases the latest designer garments and dismantles them, figuring out how to present them as patterns we can use. Hard to find patterns that fit? These patterns have great lines, include separate bust sizes and are designed to fit "Misses" and "Women" sizes.
Peggy Sagers Patterns are all designed to be used with the newest fabrics that are available. For examples, her patterns for knits now incorporate the different characteristics of various knits.
There are a few things to be aware of with her patterns. Her pattern cover photos show the "hipness" of the design but not necessarily the details. Her "flats" are sometimes not very good, and there may be little errors, like her notches do not match.
But as Bonny said, If you think before cutting, "the potential for amazing pieces is there".
