Although I haven't sewn with a pattern in years, I find that very sad indeed.

I have not bought one in a long time I do like to look at them.

This is sad to hear. I love to sew.

Did not know, but I don't sew anyway.  Sorry for the people who need their jobs

My mother used to sew when I was a kid.  I remember going with her to the craft store and department stores and looking at the huge patern books.

That is sad, but it seems like too many people don't have time anymore to sew.

It’s sad people are losing their jobs, but I think sewing is a dying art.  When I was young most moms did a lot of sewing.  I don’t know anyone who sews now.  I remember having a sewing class in junior high school.

Wow, I used these patterns years ago when I sewed and probably still have some in my shed along with the sewing machine.

[singletonb]

I have not made an outfit using a pattern in many many years but still sad that they are closing.

[ktheodos]

The only grade of f. I got in high school was a sewing class.  So I don't. Sew.

I do to, but always sad to hear so many people will lose jobs.
