shopping for sewing patterns in new york city is a lot like looking for a needle in a haystack. so you can imagine how happy I was to discover that daytona trimming at 251 w. 39th st. sells simplicity, butterick and vogue in the heart of the fashion district between 7th/8th ave. (turns out they’ve had them for a while, which is my bad!) paron fabrics carries burda and kwik sew and they’ve just moved a few doors down at 257 w. 39th.
