I have been working on organizing my sewing area for months. I am always planning projects that I just do not get around to doing. I started working on putting away a multitude of patterns and ran across these two patterns:
This is Simplicity 9133. It is a reasonably versatile pattern with three necklines, short sleeves, and sleeveless. It was a "new" release from fall and you can see here where I purchased it.
This is New Look 6356. This is a versatile pattern with neckline variations, short sleeves, and sleeveless. This is an out-of-print pattern.
Do you notice anything about these two patterns? Yeah, they look pretty much the same. There are some differences like the New Look versions uses a zipper and the Simplicity version uses a button. The Simplicity version comes in a larger size range. I feel duped though. The Simplicity pattern was suppose to be a new release not a re-release. I have seen this before with McCall's re-issuing Kwik Sew patterns. Where has the creativity gone?
Now, I wondering how many patterns that I have that are identical. Do you tend to pick the same styles are well?
Happy Stitching!
