Does anybody know where i could buy a MODERN sewing pettern book? all the ones i find r from like 1950 and stuff XP... It doesnt need to be anime, i just need patterns. It would be nice to find some FREE online patters to print...

Well, I don't know any online places, but the Yardage Town by me always has the recent year's pattern books, and Wal-Mart should update theirs regularly, too. I don't know if you can buy them, but you can look through them.

Go to walmart (now is a good time since alot of them are updating thier pattern books) ask them what they do with the old ones, alot of the stores will say "we toss them out" ask if they could speak to managment about letting you either buy one from them or have one since you are a costume maker. My mother did that before but I cant remember if she had to pay or not but if she did it wasn't that much. Hope this helped.
