Hello,
I’m a pretty new sewist (about 18 months) and am curious about Ottobre Designs pattern magazine. I can’t find any locally but the photos on the website look gorgeous.
My question is … will I have any idea what I’m doing once I get hold of the thing??? Will I be able to find gorgeous fabrics like they used in the magazine? About how many size options per pattern are provided?
I really want to try them but I don’t know if I’m jumping into the deep end before I can even dog-paddle.
Thanks!
Pamela

I'm new to Ottobre. I own two issues but have not sewn anything from
their patterns yet. According to the instructions page, pattern size
are chosen according to the child's height...
For example: babies 56-86 cm, toddlers 92-122 cm., girls 128-170 cm and so on.
Between Toddlers 92- 122 cm, there are 6 sizes to choose from, 92, 98, 104, 110, 116, 122
There are some photo instructions but mostly are just words.
Ad. on the back page:
