The Ones That Got Away...

I have a bad habit of talking myself out of buying vintage patterns. Vintage patterns that I never see again at a good price. I make the mistake of saying the following to myself:

• When will I ever find the time to make this?
• Where will I wear it if I did?
• I can't believe they're charging that much for it.
• It's too time-consuming of a pattern.
• I don't have the money to treat myself to anything I don't definitely need right now.

So, I missed out on these and regret it every time I see them.

I would have used this one to create a snug fitting shell.


Simplicity 4920 and 3472

McCall's 8141, another try at this look?

Simplicity 4181

Vogue 7674, sophisticated, no?

Simplicity 2089
If I ever decide to get married this would be the one

So now these patterns are all back on my wish list. Though I still have to get the money to buy them, guilt-free. Wish me luck.
