Unfortunately, Prima magazine do not sell old copies of their sewing patterns and I am keeping all of my own copies :-).Claire (aka Seemane)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05175575205044308437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949413743239587665.post-20832104074577911632021-05-16T18:00:17.885+01:002021-05-16T18:00:17.885+01:00Hi I am looking for a June 2016 Prima pattern jump...Hi I am looking for a June 2016 Prima pattern jumpsuitAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10666708846907873107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949413743239587665.post-46244543019370437462012-06-17T06:26:58.998+01:002012-06-17T06:26:58.998+01:00I will have to investigate my Prima patterns, whic...I will have to investigate my Prima patterns, which I have now found (they were buried in one of our boxes).

Or yu'd get the wrong month sent to you.<br /><br />Also, there seems to be no other way to contact Prima about their *free patterns (*free - apart from the cost of the phone call to the premium rated phone line that is of course LOL!).Claire (aka Seemane)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05175575205044308437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949413743239587665.post-62855076976831545812012-06-15T16:56:13.417+01:002012-06-15T16:56:13.417+01:00You would imagine that, since July's issue for...You would imagine that, since July's issue for the pattern says lines will close on 31st July, that you would be able to order the pattern from June's issue up to 30th June but I guess that may not be the case.

So, it is god that you can still get some of the old copies where you are.<br /><br />Also, <b><a href="www.essentialsmagazine.com/" rel="nofollow">Essentials Magazine</a></b> I remember them from a few years ago :) They do not make sewing patterns in their new issues anymore - they just stopped doing them (I don't know when they stopped it).Claire (aka Seemane)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05175575205044308437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949413743239587665.post-54055137936857704512012-06-15T12:09:01.698+01:002012-06-15T12:09:01.698+01:00I am so jealous.

I live in Kenya and it's not easy to get any new issues or sewing patterns either (the shipping is crazy) so I buy whichever issue I can find for about a dollar each (these are old editions, like from 10 years ago but still new and patterns are uncut).<br />I was disapointed to learn they don't include the pattern in the magazine, darn, so now whenever I find a Prima anywhere in the street, I grab it, they are like gold to me.<br />I also found another UK magazine with free sewing pattern, it's called Essentials, the patterns are cute.<br />Thanks for a lovely blog.<br />NjeriNjerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732235135317853637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949413743239587665.post-1896831437978367752012-06-15T09:58:26.901+01:002012-06-15T09:58:26.901+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Claire (aka Seemane)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05175575205044308437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949413743239587665.post-7995034581343599672012-06-15T09:50:09.724+01:002012-06-15T09:50:09.724+01:00I can't believe I missed that pattern in June&...I can't believe I missed that pattern in June's issue [I spend so long in WHSmiths just flicking through all the sewing magazines for patterns I actually like!].<br /><br />Do you think if I called them for June's issue now they'd be able to send them to me?Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419963273444103305noreply@blogger.com
