Dear friends,

Welcome to the Fall/Winter issue of Fashion For Real People!

We are delighted to show you some of the new Palmer/Pletsch patterns for Fall/Winter as well as our Pattern Picks for each body shape from the Vogue, Butterick, and McCall pattern books. We’ve researched the latest trends in fashion, accessories, fabrics, colors, and silhouettes to offer ideas and  inspiration for your fall/winter wardrobe.

Be sure to check our schedule of upcoming Palmer/Pletsch workshops & sewing vacations in Portland, Oregon. Great instruction, fabulous shopping, camaraderie & most of all….FUN! We look forward to seeing you!

All the best,

NOTE: For a complete list of all currently available Palmer/Pletsch patterns for McCall's, click here to visit our pattern web page.

Each part of Fashion for Your Figure is a separate Adobe Acrobat pdf (portable document file). Because our pages are filled with fashion photos and illustrations, it may take a while for Adobe Acrobat Reader to bring these pages up on your computer unless you download the files to your hard drive (see instructions at right). We do appreciate your patience, and hope you find the wait worthwhile! 

Note:  You do not need Adobe Acrobat  -- just the FREE Acrobat Reader.  The free version available at their web site is version 4.0, even though it doesn't say that on their web page. This newsletter is designed to be ready by version 4. You may have problems if you have an earlier version.

If you already have Acrobat Reader but are getting error messages, you may want to try to reinstall it from their web site. We suggest you uninstall your current version first.

 

Is the viewing too slow?  Consider downloading the pdf files to your hard drive.  It will be the quickest way to view these documents, but it takes a little planning, and room on your hard drive. Download each file. Different servers will have you follow different instructions.  On a PC you start by right clicking on each of the Parts above.  Some servers have you download "link," others ask if you want to download "target." After they are downloaded go the the directory on your hard drive where you have saved them and click on the files to view the newsletter. Adobe Acrobat Reader will open them.

We suggest doing the download at a time when you can be doing other things, too. It may take a while! But when you finally sit down to look through the issue, it will go quickly from page to page. When you are done, either delete the file, or save it for future reference. We do ask you to remember... this is copyrighted material.
