Sneak peek to OTTOBRE woman 2/2013
Hi everybody!
we have sent the OTTOBRE woman 2/2013 to print house week ago and now it is time to show you a sneak peek of it's content.
A brief glance at fashion magazines and catwalk reports gives the impression that almost anything is trendy this summer. The collections blaze with flowers, plaids, stripes, graphic patt erns and wallpaper textures. Minimalist and bold prints appear side by side in perfect harmony. The palette includes both translucent natural shades and intense bright colors, spiced up with a touch of gold and glitter. It’s hard to work out from this what actually is in fashion! Perhaps it’s better to focus on styles instead of fashion trends.
The official release date is March 2. 2013 in Finland. Shipping to other continents will take 1-2 weeks.
BOLD PATTERNS AND MINIMALISM
Beautiful dresses, a blouse and a pencil skirt for special occasions and socializing in summer. A fabulous biker jacket in linen, pleated pants and a viscose jersey top. A jersey dress and stretch cotton pants in wild animal prints. A delicious jersey blazer and a jersey top. A plain-cut ramie coat and narrow-leg pants.
LAID-BACK SUMMER PIECES
Narrow floral pants and snazzy shorts paired with a voile blouse and a draped tunic. Easy-wear viscose jersey dresses and a sundress from bold border-print fabric. A special-occasion dress and blouse in silk, and a pencil skirt in floral satin. A much-requested knotted tunic and flared stretch linen pants.

QUESTIONNAIRE - KUNDENUMFRAGE
Greetings from the Arctic Circle! - Hallo vom Polarkreis!
We have often wondered who you, dear readers, actually are. Hannu-Pekka, our sympathetic, hard-working summer stand-in, is in the process of finishing his studies and we want to take this opportunity to help him with his graduation thesis. Please click on the appropriate link below and reply to a READER SURVEY. Below is Hannu-Pekka’s covering note for his survey.
+++
I’m a student of business studies at the Rovaniemi University of Applied Sciences and working on my graduation thesis commissioned by Ottobre. The purpose of my thesis is to find out through a survey who the readers of the Ottobre magazine are and what they think about the magazine.
The questions are easy, and it will take less than ten minutes to answer them. You can reply to the questionnaire in English, Finnish or German. The respondents will be entered in a draw for a gift token for 100 euros to an Ottobre fabric store (either the online Etsy shop or the physical store in Rovaniemi) as well as for ten small product prizes.
You can submit the questionnaire anonymously. However, if you attach your name or pseudonym together with your email address you will be entered in the draw. Your contact information will only be used for carrying out the draw.
Please reply to the questionnaire by March 30, 2013 by clicking on one of the following links:
My warmest thanks for your contribution!

Obwohl bei uns noch klirrende Kälte herrscht (heute früh -20°C), macht die Sonne uns schon Versprechungen auf den kommenden Frühling. Wir arbeiten gerade an der Sommerausgabe und zeigen Ihnen hier ein paar Kostproben aus der nächsten Ausgabe.
Wir haben schon oft überlegt, wie ist eigentlich das Leseverhalten unserer Kunden. Da unsere sympathische und fleißige junge Urlaubsvertretung Hannu-Pekka bald sein Betriebswirtschaftsstudium abschließt, möchten wir ihm unsererseits bei seiner Abschlussarbeit helfen und gleichzeitig Antworten auf unsere Überlegungen erhalten. Unten finden Sie Links, deren Fragen Sie durch Klicken auf KUNDENUMFRAGE beantworten können! Beiliegend finden Sie ein Begleitschreiben von Hannu-Pekka betreffend seiner Forschung.

Ich studiere Betriebswirtschaft an der Fachhochschule Rovaniemi und mache meine Abschlussarbeit für Ottobre. Für meine Arbeit will ich mit dieser Umfrage herausfinden, wer die Leser/innen von Ottobre sind und was sie über die Zeitschrift Ottobre design denken.
Die Fragen sind kurz und das Beantworten der Fragen nimmt insgesamt wenige Minuten in Anspruch. Die Fragen können auf Finnisch, Englisch oder Deutsch beantwortet werden.
Unter den Teilnehmern werden drei Gutscheine in Höhe von je 100 Euro für das Stoffgeschäft von Ottobre ( nach Wahl entweder für den Etsy-Shop im Internet oder für den Laden in Rovaniemi) sowie weitere zehn Produktgeschenke verlost.
Wenn Sie Ihren Namen oder ein Pseudonym sowie Ihre E-Mail-Adresse angeben, nehmen Sie an der Verlosung teil. Ihre Personenangaben werden nur für die Verlosung verwendet und nach Beendigung der Aktion gelöscht. Ohne Teilnahme an der Verlosung können Sie die Fragen auch anonym beantworten.
Die Antworten müssen bis zum 30.3. 2013 bei uns eingegangen sein.
Ich bedanke mich ganz herzlich für Ihre Teilnahme!

Sneak peek to summer issue 3/2013
Summer is coming soon!... and so is our freshly-baked OTTOBRE design summer issue 3/2013
This issue is released in Finland on April 22, 2013 and we start shipping the English, Dutch, Swedish, German and Finnish editions to subscribers early next week, so in Europe it should arrive April, 22.-27. and oversea countries 10-14 days later.
Please notice! The release date for Russian and French edition is early May!
Fresh ideas, quick to make and fun to look at!
We wanted to make summer issue as easy as possible for you and put the entire summer wardrobe between the same covers. We wanted it to be a dream come true for home sewers: all you need to do is draw a few lines, stitch a few seams, et voilà! We decided to create lots of nice basic yet modifiable designs that are easy to make. They include several items requested by our readers and a whole bunch of fresh designs to be sewn from jersey. We were thrilled by the wonderful print patterns of the fabrics of this summer season and also dipped into our stash for bigger pieces of left-over fabric that could be recycled.
We included lots of stripes – from classic straight stripes to freehand-painted brush stripes. We allowed the stripes to go wild in our collection, as you probably notice on the jazzy front cover of the magazine. We threw in lots of color for both boys and girls. We ended up with so many ideas that we had to leave some of them out to be published later in our blog.
So discover our delightful summer issue sneak peeks and already enjoy the coming summer!

KOKESHI pinafore dress pattern and reprint of OTTOBRE design 1/2009
Hello Friends!
We have published a Babushka pinafore dress pattern for babies in our spring issue 1/2009. This sweet pattern has been very popular and we have found it on sewing blogs all over the world. Also the whole magazine has been very popular, and sold out for few years already. Upon your request, we decided to make a reprint and it will be ready to ship in couple of weeks.
Babushka pattern in this magazine is published only for babies in sizes 62-92 cm. During these years we have got a lot of requests of similar pinnie pattern in sizes 98-122 cm. Now it is time to make your wishes come thru. We wanted to continue the same sweet theme "Around the world" and decided to decorate the pinnie with cutest little Kokeshi dolls applique. To make your sewing easier, we also included pieces of applique stabilizers in the package (Vlieseline® Vliesofix and Stickvlies).
Pattern is now available in our Etsy-shop.
OTTOBRE design® magazine # 1/2009 you will find in our magazine shop.

I guess many of us loved to play with paper dolls when we were little girls, so did I with my sisters. We cut them out along the edge and were always careful not to bend the paper dolls' necks. Mom gave us shoe boxes and we kept all the paper dolls in it, beneath our beds.

Ottobre goes Halloween
We do not have fancy, scary Halloween here in Finland. For us All Saint's Day is quiet and peaceful. We light up a candle and remember with love our relatives and friends who have died. We also meet family and friends, make good food and eat together. So no costume parties, no scary stories nor trick-or-treating. However we wanted to sew something bit scary, yet fashionable - a skeleton hoodie.
![]()
We used the Bubo-bubo raglan sleeve zip hoodie pattern from magazine 4/2011. You find the pattern in sizes 98-134 cm and the magazine is still available on our single issue shop. Instead of owl, we appliqued a scary neon green skeleton. The appliqué is made on both hood panels, both sleeves and on both front panels. To draw your own skeleton you will find a lot of good illustrations on the internet or on anatomy books.
![]()
Trace pattern pieces for bones and scull on paper backing of double-sided fusible web (Vliesofix). Iron pieces of fusible web onto wrong side of pieces of neon green jersey and cut shapes out along their outlines. Remove paper backing from fusible web and iron shapes onto hood panels, sleeves and front pieces. Pin piece of tear-away backing (Stickvlies) to wrong side under appliqué motif. Stitch shapes in place with narrow, short zigzag or with straight stitch. Almost done!
Nice Halloween to everyone!
Ps. I almost forgot to thank our lovely and talented trainees Antje and Maria from Max-Eyth-Schule in Alsfeld, Germany. They made this hoodie. It is always so fun to have young and happy people here in office.
Pss. Ihan pakko lisätä vielä tää musalinkki, että pääsette oikeaan tunnelmaan!

Important information to our German customers
Unsere lieben Abonnenten im EU-Raum!
Unsere neueste Ausgabe ist letzte Woche am 14. Januar erschienen. Die Zeitschrift ist bereits am 3. Januar von uns aus Finnland abgegangen, so dass sie alle unsere im EU-Raum wohnenden Kunden rechtzeitig vor dem offiziellen Erscheinungstermin hätte erreichen müssen. Die Mehrheit unserer Kunden hat auch ihre Zeitschrift rechtzeitig erhalten, d. h. bevor die Zeitschrift in Zeitungsläden erhältlich war.
Leider sieht es so aus, dass ein Teil unserer deutschen Kunden die Zeitschrift bis heute noch nicht erhalten hat. Wir möchten uns dafür vielmals entschuldigen. Wir haben die gesamte Versandkette überprüft, um heraus zu finden woran es liegen kann, können es jedoch bisher nicht klären und sind momentan genau so irritiert wie Sie.
Alle Zeitschriften werden direkt von uns aus Finnland versandt. Sowohl die Sendungen als auch das Adressenregister werden mehrmals von uns überprüft. Es ist jedoch eine riesige Menge von Zeitschriften, die wir überall in die Welt verschicken. So kann es mal vorkommen, dass unterwegs aus Gründen die wir nicht beeinflussen können, Verspätungen auftreten.
Wir können Ihren Ärger gut verstehen, möchten Sie aber trotzdem noch um etwas Geduld bitten. Falls Sie die Zeitschrift nicht bis zum Freitag, den 24.1. erhalten haben, nehmen Sie bitte erneut Kontakt mit uns über service@ottobre.fi auf.
Sollte sich Ihr Name oder Ihre Adresse ändern, bitte informieren Sie uns rechtzeitig darüber, damit wir unser Kundenregister auf dem Laufenden halten können und evtl. Verspätungen der Zeitschriften aus diesem Grund vermieden werden.
Wir werden auch zukünftig unser Bestes tun, damit Sie Ihre Zeitschrift rechtzeitig erhalten um mit dem Nähen zu beginnen!
Wir wünschen Ihnen weiterhin inspirierende Nähstunden mit unserer Zeitschrift,
Matti Hepola
Herausgeber

Werbeaktion in Deutschland!
Ein Teil unserer Kunden hat sich über unsere in den Bundesländern Sachsen und Sachsen-Anhalt als Test veranstaltete Werbeaktion gewundert. Aus dem Grund wollen wir über uns und unsere Aktion erzählen.
Hinter der Zeitschrift steht kein internationaler Medienkonzern, sondern ein kleines Familienunternehmen im finnischen Lappland. Wir haben hier am Polarkreis mehr Rentiere als Einwohner (195 000), daher suchen wir Kunden auch außerhalb unserer Region und unseres Landes. Die Zeitschrift wird in Finnland auf ein hier im Land hergestelltes, umweltfreundliches Papier gedruckt und in sieben Sprachen in mehr als 130 Länder geliefert. Unser kleines, aber begeistertes Team hat sehr viel Arbeit und auch Hektik jeden einzelnen Tag.
Ganz allein schaffen wir das Alles nicht, daher haben wir inzwischen Partner in aller Welt bekommen, die ganz tolle Fachleute der Zeitungsbranche sind! In Deutschland ist für den Vertrieb an Zeitungskioske und -läden die Vertriebsgesellschaft Special Interest zuständig. Die Firma Special Interest hat sich auf verschiedene Hobbyzeitschriften spezialisiert. Wir haben regen Kontakt mit der Firma um den Vertrieb der Zeitschrift sowie auch die Zeitschrift betreffende Aktionen zusammen zu planen.
Unsere diesmalige Aktion war an ausgesuchte Zeitungskioske und -läden in Sachsen und Sachsen-Anhalt gerichtet, indem an diese Geschäfte ca. 2000 in eine Kunststoffhülle verpackte neue OTTOBRE design 1/2014 -Zeitschriften geliefert wurden. In derselben Hülle mit der neuen Ausgabe befand sich als Bonusheft auch eine unserer früher erschienenen Zeitschriften. Mit unserer Aktion wollten wir natürlich neue Leser finden. Unser deutscher Vertriebspartner hat uns erzählt, dass diese Marketingart in Deutschland recht üblich für Zeitschriften ist. Für uns war es bei dieser Aktion eine besondere Freude, dass wir für unsere Zeitschriften, die sonst nach der abgelaufenen Verkaufszeit in die Häckselmaschine oder zur Altpapiersammlung gelangen würden, auf diese Weise neue Leser gefunden zu haben!
Es tut uns sehr Leid, dass ein Teil unserer Leser diese Aktion falsch verstanden hat. Es handelt sich keineswegs darum, dass wir unsere in anderen Gegenden wohnenden Kunden geringschätzen oder übergehen wollten oder dass wir Leser, die ihre Zeitschrift am Kiosk kaufen, auf Kosten von Abonnenten bevorzugen würden. Wir möchten uns in aller Form bei denjenigen entschuldigen, die sich wegen unserer Aktion verletzt oder übergangen fühlten.
Wir hoffen, dass unsere nächste Werbeaktion auch Sie, die diesmal kein Bonusheft bekommen haben, erreichen wird. Unsere Abonnenten bekommen immer ihre Bonuszeitschrift im Zusammenhang mit der ersten Aboperiode. Wir versprechen Ihnen, dass wir im Laufe des Frühjahrs für Sie ganz neue Bonusvorteile bringen werden.
Wir wünschen Ihnen weiterhin inspirierende Nähstunden mit unserer Zeitschrift,
Ihre Ottobre team

New information for our German customers!
Wichtige Information an unsere Abonnenten in Deutschland!
Wir haben mehr Information über den verspäteten Postversand der Ausgabe 1/2014 erhalten. Die Deutsche Post hat unsere Sendung am 10.1.2014 empfangen. Diese Sendung enthielt die Zeitschriften beinahe aller unserer in Deutschland wohnenden Kunden.
Heute (23.1.) um 13 Uhr finnischer Zeit haben wir eine Meldung bekommen, dass die Deutsche Post die gesamte Zeitungssendung nach Schweden an ein internationales Verteilzentrum in Malmö retourniert hat, wo die Sendung sich momentan auch befindet. Es handelt sich hier offenbar um menschliches Versagen eines Mitarbeiters der Deutschen Post.
Wir gehen jetzt folgenderweise vor: Die Zeitungen gehen heute von Malmö an die Deutsche Post nach Hamburg zurück, wo sie am Freitag, dem 24.1.2014 ankommen. Normalerweise dauert dann die Sortierung und Verteilung an die Kunden 2-4 Arbeitstage.
Wir bedanken uns ganz herzlich bei allen unseren Kunden, die uns über das Nichteintreffen der Zeitschrift informiert haben. Durch Ihr Feedback haben wir wichtige Information darüber erhalten, dass irgendwo unterwegs ein wesentlicher Verteilungsfehler passiert ist und dass es sich nicht um das Verlorengehen einzelner Zeitschriften handelt. Es war leichter ganzen Warenpaletten auf die Spur zu kommen als wenn man einzelne Postsendung in ganz Europa hätte suchen müssen!
Wir informieren Sie bei Bedarf weiterhin per E-Mail, in unserem Blog und auf unseren Facebook-Seiten.
Der Vorfall tut uns wirklich sehr Leid und wir möchten uns herzlich und auf eine ganz konkrete Weise für Ihre Geduld bedanken. Unsere Entwurfabteilung ist schon dabei, ein Überraschungsschnittmuster für alle Kunden zu kreieren, die ihre Zeitschrift verspätet erhalten haben. Es braucht jedoch etwas Zeit, die Anleitungen zu schreiben und zu übersetzen, so dass wir Ihnen das Schnittmuster in der dritten Februarwoche zusenden werden. Dafür wählen wir diesmal eine schnellere Versandart; das Schnittmuster erhalten Sie per E-Mail als E-Schnittmuster.
Wir wünschen Ihnen sonnige Frühlingstage und gemütliche Nähstunden mit unserer neuen Ausgabe, sobald Sie diese erhalten haben!

You’ll find her on the BERNINA stand (B 8.4 / C 7.3) for the duration of the fair. She’ll have a few boxes of magazines with her so you will be able to pick up a copy of the OTTOBRE design kids spring issue 1/2014, buy back issues from 2013 in French or even subscribe to the magazine. Please feel free to drop by for a chat, she’d love to meet you!
So what exactly is “L’Aiguille en Fête”? Here’s the information they sent us:

On February 6th, L’Aiguille en fête will open its doors to more than 40,000 visitors from around the world, all crazy about textile arts and needlecrafts.
