I've had success searching ebay (people usually search by the date and magazine name them check if the ebay item includes the pattern).Claire (aka Seemane)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05175575205044308437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949413743239587665.post-63196139826486479742020-07-15T17:09:42.829+01:002020-07-15T17:09:42.829+01:00Hi there can anyone tell me how to go about sourci...Hi there can anyone tell me how to go about sourcing a knitting pattern printed in Prima approx late 80s to early 90s?

I purchased March 2016, April 2016 and May 2016 magazines. Rang on each occassion for the pattern and have not received any of them. I should add I did ring within the timescales. I have just e-mailed them and been told that they don't send out patterns for magazines purchased in shops. Why then do they offer a premium rate line with the facility??? I have paid £9.00 ish on phone calls and they are saying they are not sending patterns out. Surely this cannot be correct? Anyone else experienced this??Carol Maidmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04518971969070898974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949413743239587665.post-4032149478322879692012-06-14T22:09:02.424+01:002012-06-14T22:09:02.424+01:00@ Rachel your welcome :)

Re: previews of this/next month's patterns - I searched high & low and couldn't find them anywhere on the web. So, I found an email address for the mag and sent them a helpful suggestion to that effect ;) LOL!Claire (aka Seemane)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05175575205044308437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949413743239587665.post-84690359564376629512012-06-08T17:41:47.181+01:002012-06-08T17:41:47.181+01:00Great post!

One thing I've never found, though, is a place to see the current month's pattern online. Do you know if this is anywhere? Most months the magazine is in plastic so you can't flick through and see if it's worth pursuing! :(Melissa Fehr Tradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14734428215982288386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949413743239587665.post-47253917891612106262012-06-03T21:17:04.378+01:002012-06-03T21:17:04.378+01:00Hi Claire, I have to admit, when I lived in the UK...Hi Claire, I have to admit, when I lived in the UK, I used to subscribe to Prima, I've collected and successfully made up a number of their patterns. I'm missing Prima here in NZ!<br /><br />The patterns do at least come with a seam allowance now and for me the fit is pretty good, I may be the shape they are after!! I've generally found their patterns relatively simple and clear to follow and luckily so far, none I've had have been printed double-sided.<br /><br />Perhaps I shall try to write a blog post showing my Prima makes? Remember my grey dress I wore to Goldhawk Road? That was a Prima make :-)Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560774986079141727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949413743239587665.post-83994043798359257102012-06-02T12:51:26.736+01:002012-06-02T12:51:26.736+01:00Hi Claire.
