I stumbled on this sale when looking for details on a specific pattern. It started on Sunday the 21st and ends Wednesday the 24th. Many patterns are $2.99 each, excluding the out-of-print patterns. Here is the link.Vogue Patterns are on sale for $3.99 each during the same days. Here is the link. Even the Vintage Vogue patterns are on sale.And yes, McCall's is offering the same sale with patterns for $2.99 each. Start here.I've included photos of one of the patterns I am buying - Vintage Vogue 1136 circa 1945. I wasn't impressed with the renderings of the pattern on the envelope but, when I saw the photos, I changed my mind. I love the way the jacket falls and the details on the back of the dress.
Also, this week, through August 21st, you can print a coupon for 40% Off one regular price item and a coupon for 50% Off one regular price baking item.
Happy sewing!
