Uh Oh Ottobre . . .

So I had to do it. I just had to see how this compared to BWOF. I haven't made anything yet but I love some of the designs. I bought this off eBay. I'm not convinced I need a subscription. Yet.


Here are all the designs in this magazine. I circled the ones I really like. I'm the same size in Ottobre as in BWOF. My hips are size 36 but everything else is 34. I have traced out the cargo pants at the bottom. I am on a jeans-making kick right now and I think these would make a nice loose cargo-y type of pant. I'll do a muslin seeing as this is my first ever Ottobre pattern.


Here are some of the other patterns I like. The raglan t-shirt has pleated shoulders. I really like the coat too. In a day or two I'll give a full run-down of the major differences between BWOF and Ottobre.


Here are the cargo pants. I am making them without the leg pocket.


I love this pintucked top/tunic/dress.
