Patterns all seemed clunky. My major objection though was that the items were poorly photographed. I don't want to see the item worn while the model is slumped in a chair. I want to see the front and back straight on to decide if I want to make it. I was frustrated with the presentation of nearly every item.

A lot of heavier outdoor type sweaters and coats.
