None of the Simplicity SW patterns are available in NZ - and I've just found out the McCalls Padme Ep3 'sleepless knights' pattern has been discontinued as well...

I think it's still available in Singapore the last time I checked the book. Anyhow, when I got the money to burn and the patterns goes on sale, will get a spare one from Spotlight here.

I live in the southern US (Mississippi) I have scoured all the sewing supply stores and every Wal-Mart. Noone down here has heard anything about the patterns being pulled. In fact my favorite supply store just got a whole new shipmant of them. (I bought two just incase.)


I'm in Texas, and they're all gone here! You are lucky!


Does anybody have an extra Padme/Aayla and or Leia/Amidala pattern that they'd sell me, or that they could send me a copy of?? My sister wants the white Padme one and I wanna do Aayla, and now it doesnt look like we can!! So if anybody could do that, I would love you forever!! hugs love

Does anyone have the 4426 Simplicity Pattern? I lost the package and need a scan of the front and back for material, etc.

THanks,

Cathy

I have the adult versions. Have you gotten what you needed?
Why don't you be more specific in what you need. Maybe you can get some good detailed advice.

She lost the envelope that is used to store the patterns so I guess want a scan of it so that she can create a new one and also get an idea how much cloths to get for the costume.

This is the pattern if I read correctly:

Ugh! I think McCalls Padme Ep3 'sleepless knights' is gone from Singapore's Spotlight now. Last week when I check out the Catalog, I can't seems to locate it. doh!

Guess the 1 I have is now Preciousssss

Btw, I notice that some people are trying to scrap off us for the Simplicity Pattern on eBay. I saw the "Guys" one going for bloody ridiculous price there. frustrated

Over here in Singapore, the other "Jedi" pattern is still available which is almost the same design as the "really SW one":


Simplicity 5840

I had used this pattern before and I think you might need to make the size that is smaller than recommended by the envalope. When I did mine, somehow the part where the Shoulder Opening meet the Sleeves ended up at my elbow. shock

Personally, I prefer to use the Kimono/Karate Gi Pattern like the McCall's one.
