Sandra Betzina announced on her website her two most recent pants patterns - 2913 and 2948 - have been recalled and pulled from the stores and Vogue's website. The new corrected versions will be available after April 1. Evidently the Vogue patternmakers tried to "Vogue-ize" Sandra's Today's Fit better fitting crotch curve. It says to call Vogue's Customer Service 800 number and ask for Meg, but good luck getting through. I was able to leave a voice mail message. A fellow SB fan, another Peggy, already called earlier today and found out you need to return the pattern/s to Vogue - The McCall Pattern Company, 11 Penn Plaza, New York, NY 10001. (I indicated on the envelope's left side corner "Sandra Betzina Vogue Pattern Recall," to make it easier to expedite my replacement copies.) Vogue will replace the pattern/s with the new version and send you a coupon for a free McCalls Stitch and Save or Butterick Sew Easy pattern to cover your postage costs. Be sure to include a note with your address and specify a McCall's or Butterick coupon.
Interesting to note, Sandra must have some clout with Vogue! They've screwed up other patterns before, but I don't recall any of them being recalled.
Update April 2 -- I do give Vogue credit, Meg did call me this afternoon, confirming this same information.
