I Got the New Vogue Patterns Magazine

And you didn't! Neener neener neener!

Oh wait, that's not terribly gracious, is it? Sorry. But I am totally excited about the October issue. One of the nice things about being an advertiser is that I get slightly advance copies of the magazines. This month, VPM has undergone quite the makeover! The change is obvious the minute you see the font on the cover.

But what made my little heart go "Squee!" was when I flipped through and came across an article by the Blogosphere's very own Selfish Seamstress.


Yay for the SS! It's a very funny article, much like her blog. Speaking of which, if you don't read it already, you should. She's cute, funny, an amazing sewist, and smart. I'd hate her if I didn't love her so much. And her haiku totally cracks me up!

Well, I have to get back to work. Happy sewing!

Hee hee, SS has been holding out on us...or do I remember some very offhand remark about something...who knows. Thanks for the heads up. I'll be watching for it. I actually have a spreadsheet to keep track of issues when received. I've lost issues (Burda mostly) because I have so much difficulty keeping track of magazines, and I only get three :-)

Very cool! Thanks for the heads up - I don't subscribe to this magazine, but will make sure to pick up a copy of this one. :)

Please folks, don't try to use my blog to advertise your site/wares/whatever. I'm happy as all get out to do plugs for people, but on my terms. If you want me to say something nice about what you have to sell, just ask. I may say yes!

Thanks!

Thanks for the shout-out though :D!

Brilliant, I haven't bought the magazine for ..ooh...years now but I may just have to track down a copy.

Did they do away with the stupid puns as article titles? If so, I might pick up a copy :)

It's great Vogue's making an effort - looks good. Love the fact they've picked up on the blog-o-sphere - congratulations to SS - looking forward to perusing through the issue. Oh yeah, thanks for the heads up that you get preview version, and my postman thanks you as I won't be tongue-lashing him for any perceived slow deliveries.
