Part of living under capitalism is the fact that any given thing you love could go away at any moment for arbitrary reasons of inter-/intra-corporate politics https://mastodon.me.uk/@Giselle/114647223315094774

This is very bad news for anyone who sews. The parent company who owned the big 4 sewing pattern brands (Simplicity, Butterick, McCalls, Vogue) has sold them to a liquidator. Meaning that the business will get wound down and dissolved. I own a number of these patterns and like them (much more than Burda), I can't believe this is happening. I must admit I bought mainly Lekala patterns, others like indi patterns. Meaning that the Big 4 are no longer profitable? #sewing https://craftindustryalliance.org/parent-company-of-the-big-4-sewing-pattern-brands-sold-to-a-liquidator/
