I analyzed the current trends from Marie Claire Runway Magazine (I love this magazine!) and related them to the Vogue sewing patterns that I purchased at Jo-Ann Fabrics. Here are my results below. For more details on these trends, go to http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/runway.html. You can purchase the iPad edition or go to the Barnes & Nobles and buy the hard copy like I did. For the Vogue patterns, you can go to http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/ or you can visit the Jo-Ann Fabrics store.
