I did!
Which is amazing because I haven't been in the mood to buy patterns in a LONG time, even when they're only $.99. I just didn't feel I liked sewing enough or had enough motivation to justify the buying of more patterns that might just sit around unmade mocking me. So I guess I'm feeling better about sewing, huh?
I came home with 3 Butterick and 5 Simplicity. Oh, and two vintage ones sneaked in when my Dad and I did the circuit of thrift stores in Newport News this weekend. Here are my lovelies:
Butterick 5415, Butterick 5259, Butterick 5429
Simplicity 2404, Simplicity 2587, Simplicity 2560
Simplicity 2591, Simplicity 2406
Oldies but Goodies:
Simplicity 6034, McCall's 6786
I love how 1930s-40s that 1973 pattern looks and I actually owned the McCall's one when I was in college. I made that shirt in an aubergine rayon challis. I bought it this time ($.25) for the pants.
P.S. The links under the new patterns take you to their individual pages on PatternReview.com.

Great haul! I am always trying to resist buying more patterns because I already own all the patterns in the world, but rarely does my better nature prevail.
I also recently picked up Simplicity 2404! Nice, clean lines.
Wow enough to keep you busy for a while!!!
Nice! I missed those in the Butterick catalog...I'll have to go look again.
I haven't bought patterns in a while. My pattern box is stuffed to the brim, so mentally I can't justify anymore...but I'd be lying if I weren't itching. ;)
emade,
Those Buttericks are pretty old, I've been thinking about them for over a year! Thought I should get them before they went out-of-print.
For someone who hasn't been in the mood to buy patterns you did great! Patterns are possibilities. They aren't going to spoil and you'll probably use them eventually.
