    I like #1671. Where I work these cuts would be perfect with the right material, but also the same work at work and dare I say make a slip or pj's??? It's beyond versatile!

  2. lmichelle | | #2

    I love 1467. It's already in my wish list and I'm hoping to get it soon. Winning it would be such a treat! My favorite style? Soft & romantic.

  3. Paula_Beron5 | | #3

  6. melwyk | | #6

    I love a nice light dress & jacket for spring, in clear bright colours -- wash away the dullness of winter! I have 2174 in the queue right now, to make up in a lovely light blue & grey abstract/butterfly print.

    I would love to make an ensemble using #1467. Very feminine and I think it would work on my short roundish body. Thank you for the opportunity to win this great pattern.

  10. Emmab2003 | | #10

    Love 1467, especially the jacket and top to go under it!

  11. user-176160 | | #11

    I love to sew a lot of print skirts for summer to wear with shells and a jacket or a cardigan and a cute pair of sandals. Skirts are quick to sew and require small amounts of fabric. Once the patterns are fine-tuned to your liking, Monday night sew skirt for Tuesday and so on.

    Separates are always a good choice and the princess seaming and nipped in waist is attractive for all figures. Also the jacket and top with the slacks is perfect for work.

    chelosunny | | #13

    Once you have determined your style the choice is easy. I am classic therefore 1467 is great for me. Thx.

  14. MichelleAP | | #14

    Looking forward to light weight, casual, comfortable skirts in bright colors...really ready for warmer weather and no snow. My style is fun, casual, feminine with a twist of creative, quirky or retro/vintage.

  15. harrysmom | | #15

    SanHarvey | | #40

    I would like to say my favorite out would be the skirt with the top and jacket, I can even convert the jacket part which is a peplum style to the skirt and give it a different feel and do the same for the top that is why I like the Simplicity pattern 1467.

  41. kajero | | #41

    S1467 -- The jacket would be perfect for me -- Princess seams in front, darts in back, and a peplum on the sides and back. I even like pink. I would pair the jacket with the coordinating skirt of the same fabric and the sleeveless blouse made of a silky fabric. I would be ready for the big spring event, of which I will have to find one.

  42. user-1115414 | | #42

    Ι just love 1467, it's a full wardrobe on it's own. I would make all the models twice, once as shown on the envelope and again with using solid colour instead of print and print instead of solid! A full wardrobe, with lots of choices and suitable for every hour of the day. I want this pattern so much!!!

  43. Lawana55 | | #43

    1621 with the highlow hem dress and jacket would be my favorite

  44. amh61771 | | #44

    My granddaughter would love 1656 and I would love to make it for her

  45. annem54 | | #45

    1467 looks like a lovely pattern. If I don't win it, I will buy it. My style is smart casual, fairly structured and not frilly and I could really make these pieces work for me, to provide almost a complete new wardrobe on their own. My favourite pieces are the trousers and the sleeveless top.

  46. annem54 | | #46

    I thought I had already commented. I like 1467. Of I don't win, I will buy. My style is smart casual, classic rather than frilly and these pieces would work well for me. I need a new wardrobe! I like the pants and sleeveless top best.

  48. pandora57 | | #48

    I like easy to wear clothing in spring, something that can take me from cold,wet and windy weather straight through to sunny and warm.Separates do it for me.I am loving Peplums, A line skirts. Printed trousers,pastel colours and a bit of tailoring.

    #1467 is the complete spring wardrobe capsule. Jacket, Slacks, in a solid fabric; top and skirt in a floral, another top or two in a complimentand there you have it a week's worth of style in one pattern envelope. The top and pants could also be made up into active wear. Love this pattern.

    I love, love, love style A & B. This would be perfect to add to my work wardrobe. I've decided in the last year to teach myself to sew and have been taking online classes from Craftsy and pouring over my Threads magazine to learn new techniques and this pattern would be perfect!!

  58. memaha512 | | #58

    I love 1467, for the versatile sportswear. Of that pattern, I especially love the A blouse and C skirt. I agree that you could probably adapt this pattern to make sleepwear. Its versatility is one of its strengths :)

    Oh, 1467 looks like my ideal pattern - it could be made up in numerous types of fabric, suits any age, and would be the perfect 'stash-busting pattern that I need to make space in my sewing room this Spring! Well done Threads for designing it and winning the catalogue cover spot!

  64. Jenerator | | #64

    Love the top and skirt in 1467, and with the addition of the jacket it would make a great work outfit!

  65. delirium210 | | #65

    1467, I love the comfy look of the pattern I imagine those pants and skirt with a soft knit, cozy and stylish. I love the top and would use something soft and flowing to pair with the knit pants and have an out fit that can lounge around the house or head to a social event. love it!

  66. krisla | | #66

    1467 looks great for me. I want to make several of the blouse and pants.

    thepkl | | #68

    1467 is the dream pattern. The top looks so simple to make and easy to wear and yet at the same time it could be dressy. the pants and the skirt basically the same but easy to fit and then if you want to go to work or dinner that adorable jacket would dress it all up. I could even see this as an elegant evening outfit with the skirt floor length and made in some silky fabric. I love it.

  69. cecine | | #69

    1467 pattern represent simplicity and good looks. It's a pattern I wish I had. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  76. christaj3 | | #76

    My fave is style 1621. I love the light and flowing dress with an option to add a light sweater which compliments it. And although I absolutely adore the idea of wearing beautiful dresses all Spring & Summer, the truth is that it simply isn't a practical option for me, so having the additional option to pair the same look with a comfy pair of trouser pants would be awesome!

    I really like #1467. I take ballroom dancing lessons (I'm almost 78 - in May) and the top and pants outfit is what I need, perfect for lessons and also dance parties. The jacket in a color that would work with several different colors for the pant and top combinations - perfect. Thanks for the opportunity to win this pattern.

I like all your patterns here today they can all be sewn to ones style. Your 1621 I will be getting. Thanks for a chance to win

  88. Berte | | #88

    My fave style for spring? A relaxed tailored look, perhaps? Not into flounces or ruches, but love relaxed linen trousers and flowing tops and dresses. As well as figure hugging garments. Both 1467 and 2174 look like good fits for me this spring. :-)

  89. JTwisdom | | #89

    1467 is great for spring and summer. The pants are so flowing and comfortable. The skirt and sleeveless top can go for casual with flats or heels. And with some added jewelry, simple gorgeous.

  90. CarmenW | | #90

    My style is business casual. Pattern 1467 lends itself to very versatile changes in weather by utilizing linens, cottons, silks and for fall a lightweight or all season wool.

  91. Elizam | | #91

    1467 is a real winner! The pattern is very versatile and could be used to increase my wardrobe for casual or business dress wear. There are so many options to mix and watch. This pattern would be a great addition to get started on my spring/summer wardrobe.

    danidooley | | #92

    I really like 1467. This pattern is very attractive. The samples are made in such cute fabric and the model is adorable but more importantly the style is fresh and current. I like the peplum-ish detail on the jacket and the released pleats and lowered waistline on the skirt and pants. I prefer not to wear sleeveless tops so I really wish this pattern had a cap sleeve option on the top but that is something I can add on my own. It would also be nice to have some invisible pockets hiding behind the gathering on the jacket front. I'll probably add that too.

  93. Clodi | | #93

    Definitely 1467 is my style. My body is pear shape and these patterns define the waist which is the focus area for this body shape. I think I even have the appropriate fabric for each of the patterns.

  94. memarston | | #94

    I really like 1467 for it's very wearable shapes!
