There used to be a store in San Diego where I could buy Stretch & Sew patterns. I'm assuming the company has gone out of business since they're no longer there.... I believe these patterns were sold across the States as well? Anyway, I'm looking for plus size patterns (from Stretch & Sew) and cannot find any... do you any of you know of a good sourse to buy them? I have also posted this on Sew Forum... Thanks so much! xoxo teri

Thanks girls for answering... I have always liked plus clothes because they fit better across the arms and hips. I'm 6 foot tall, so buying clothes has always been a challenge... I need longer and wider - simply because my bone structure is larger than someone that's 5'7"... :-) I will check out the links. Thanks xoxo

https://www.gmidesign.com/stretch/home.html
and then try the Kwik Sew sites...very similar to Stretch and Sew... http://www.thesewingplace.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=23

I started sewing with Ann Person's patterns in the 70's.....much better fit than the tissue paper patterns in the stores....

Boy - that brought back some memories. Hope you can find them. I personally do not care to sew clothing - I used to do it all of the time, and even did it as an income while my children were small, Still not something I really liked to do.

I've never heard of them, but since I'm a plus size at 5'1" I sure could use a line of patterns that don't need re-made before I use them.

Terry, could you give me a few of those inches? The height ones, I have enough width LOL

I sure do remember them. However, I haven't use patterns for a long time to make personal clothing. Good luck in your quest.
