Good morning from So. Cal. (basking in the warm sunshine!)… my fav pattern company are the traditional ones I’ve used for years. I like McCall’s the best.
Thank you for this opportunity!
McCalls is my favorite pattern company. I have been sewing with their patterns for over 30 years.
Kwik Sew, Easy and love the paper!
McCall’s is my favorite not to mention at my favorite fabric store, they go on sale every once in a while 10 for $10 (limit 10).
simplicity is my fav
I really like Simplicity patterns for myself….But I am in love with Burda patterns for my grandchildren! So cute and very unique in their styling! We just had our sixth grandchild, so I’ll be pouring over the kids Burda book again!

McCall’s.
My favorite is “You Can Make This”. Easy, up to date and fun patterns at great prices.
Kwik Sew! Lovely book…
Clall me old fashioned but Vogue patterns are my favorite.
love McCalls and Simplicity and I would love to win this book
I actually have *three* favorites: Kwik Sew, Jalie and Ottobre!!

I like so many for different reasons: Vogue because of the cool designer details, Simplicity because it’s SO easy to follow, McCall’s and Butterick because you can usually always find a pattern for a classic look, Burda because it’s on trend and has great visual directions. Kwik Sew is hard to find in my area.
I love McCalls patterns for their ease and unique styles.
Children’s Corner
Kwic sew, I used them for my children and am now sewing for grandchilden with some of the same patterns, Love them!
oliver + s! and also i like the very simple patterns from simplicity which can be made easily and quickly and well for family and friends…
I love McCalls and Simplicity Patterns. I have some from the early 30′s and 40′s that my granny used. I love them!
I like a lot of different pattern companies…depends on the pattern, but would have to say that Kwik Sew is my favorite. This book looks so cute. I have a new grandson and would love to win it! Thanks for the opportunity!
My favorite patterns are McCalls. Because of my body type, I find McCalls fit better. Also the sizes seem more accurate. For example, I find Simplicity sizes are small( you’d need a bigger size, and I find I’m at a large enough size as it is. lol) Also Kwik Sew are good because they are so easy.
I like ANY pattern company that makes patterns for us extra size sewers !!
Simplicity…easy instructions for a sewsew sewer like me!!!
Kwik Sew & Ottobre!
for children’s patterns, I love Children’s Corner.
I can’t say I have a favorite pattern company. I like alot of most.
I mostly sew children’s clothes, and my favorites are Old Fashioned Baby and Wendy Schoen patterns
Kwik Sew for the quality of the paper, the well written instructions and Kwik Serge.
Cindy Taylor Oates!
I still love the old McCall’s patterns. They seem to be well-written and they fit me!
For my clothing, Vogue seems to fit my imperfect body. I love the new McCalls series, the Simplicity Project Runway designs are so much fun, Lazy Girl for bags and accessories, and Kwik Sew for lingerie and swim wear.
Simplicity or McCalls
OOOh, I haven’t EVER seen this book before! I have a soon to be 3 year old so this is perfect.
I think Jalie is my favorite pattern company. I love that their patters are multi-sized so they fit even my 2 year old and I always get a great fit!
McCalls and Vogue – depending on what I’m making.
I like Kwik Sew, and Simpicity. Happy sewing everyone:)
I love Simplicity, they have the best bag and accessory patterns and they are quite easy.
I love the old Vogue patterns. Recently I find the instructions poorly written , especially on the difficult ones. I have many vintage patterns and started researching. Love the history of Butterick…so at the moment that’s my favorite!
Kwik Sew-good basic styles, multiple sizes, heavy duty paper making copying different sizes easier.
“Making Children’s Clothes” –a book is my favorite. Its easy, even though not so much instruction. But it’s so FUN!!!
Burda Burda Burda!
Just love their styling especially for children
It all depends on what I make, but it seems most of mine are McCalls, Vogue, then Simplicity… Happy creations to all!
I love Children’s Corner for all my grandchildren!
Hard to say but I guess Simplicity would be my favorite although I have used all brands.
Kwik Sew patterns fit me the best, and they are easy & fast. (Wish JoAnn’s sold them!) However, I am in the middle of using a Collette pattern and love the way everything is in a booklet. I’m anxious to see how the coat turns out.
I really like FarbenMix patterns !
I like Simplicity the best. They do a great job for Plus size sewers. Just because I am an experienced sewer, doesn’t mean I have to sew the hardest patterns all the time. Plus I have pattern-making software so I make my own patterns these days.
I love Simplicity. They seem to be the easiest to adapt and change when I want to get creative.
Simplicity…because…they are! Simple. Easy. Love that!
right now kiwk sew, but I am into accessories and Coltilde has several great patterns.
