Patrones 304

Maybe it is having new reading glasses that I can actually see out of.  Maybe (urrr... well definitely) I am avoiding doing more momentous things (like cleaning the house) by sitting here with a coffee pondering why Patrones looks different this month.   But somehow it does.   I think my copy just had a printing glitch and involves peculiar colours and smudgy bits.  I've touched up the photos to look vaguely normal.

It does have some very nice patterns though.  No difference there.  

This is the summer special.   We are halfway into autumn in Australia but there are still quite a few things that would be fine for our season. 

First, a summer dress section.  The photographer needs a stern talking to for giving us mere garment glimpses.   

Next a section on white shirts - 5 white shirts, a couple of pairs of trousers, a skirt and a pair of shorts.  Very nice. The next 2 are my favourite patterns from this magazine, particularly the second- what a lovely bow detail.    

There is a section on summer casual basics.  Cotton casuals I would say.  shorts, blouses, a few trousers, a dress and even a cotton pants suit.  This top is nice.  

There are 3 summer maternity dresses.

And the final section is the plus size selection which includes an illustration of the fattening power of different clothing styles.  Same woman - but example one:

And example two.

She looks so different in each pic doesn't she?
