    Why would you include an out-of-print pattern in your article highlighting springtime patterns? The jacket is cute, and I was interested in making it, but come to find out that it is no longer available. Very disappointing. I would expect an article like this to include available patterns.

    I agree with Katherine. I like the jacket and the pants. I am not even looking to see if I can buy the pants pattern after learning the jacket pattern is out of print. Disappointing.

    I thought that if a pattern was out of print but still shown in the catalog that you could still buy the pattern and just print it with your home printer or print it at a copy place like Staples or Kinkos.
