While I am on the topic of Alexander McQueen, I came across some interesting patterns lately that might be of interest to other McQueen fans out there. First up is a lovely modern kimono pattern courtesy of Showstudio. Having been earlier tempted to put in a bid on the exact Kimono top before being snapped back to reality by the $2,000 price tag I can’t tell you how excited and to try this pattern.

Here’s a picture of the outfit in McQueens Fall 2003 Show

The second project is a Fall 2005 rendition of a sweater created by Calista on her site ‘Handmade by Calista’. She only has a few knit patterns for sale but it’s worth a look for knitters out there. Unfortunately I am not a knitter but considering I love knits and this looks like a cute pattern I might give it a go.
