The Tauton Press has decided to sell their Folkwear pattern business.
They say that, for now, they'll continue to sell Folkwear patterns to the

magazines for sewing and knitting (including kids, full figure, etc). Each
issue of Burda contains many (20+) patterns that you can trace and make. The
pattern sheets were re-designed in summer 1992 for better layout and more
consistant sizes (e.g. each pattern available in 4 or 5 sizes; several
patterns on a special "snip and sew" sheet, etc). The sewing directions are
somewhat terse with minimal illustrations; patterns do not include seam
allowances. Send for a sample issue to see if you like the format.
