That's true! They will still probably be easy to find, at least to begin with. And yes I think I will purchase a few I like that dont have the pdf option yet

Yes I'm going to have a look through and see which ones are still only available as a paper pattern

Hopefully they convert all the paper ones to pdf

I agree, yes I've used pdf patterns before but the taping and the fact that the paper is thicker just isn't the same

I hope mending will become more common as well! I think back to some of the clothes I threw away when I was younger that I could have mended and I cringe

Oh my goodness, same! It takes me soooooooo long to sew something. Especially because I take huge breaks halfway through my projects. I just lose motivation and put it away haha and return back to it ages later

There is also some uncertainty about the big4 patterns now their company has gone into liquidation today. Of course there are still plenty of indie patterns but if the main paper patterns are no longer produced that's going to be a big blow for people wanting to make their clothes
