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.
ReplyDeleteI also recently picked up Simplicity 2404! Nice, clean lines.
ReplyDeleteWow enough to keep you busy for a while!!!
ReplyDeleteNice! I missed those in the Butterick catalog...I'll have to go look again.
ReplyDeleteI 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,
ReplyDeleteThose 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.
