I have only a couple on my list one of which is the black/white dress. I too have some great fabric for this and I will wear it to work. I love that white empire dress, that one I have not seen. The little girl dresses are adorable and look forward to seeing what you make with those.Linda Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655695696943452993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-2502095536213314222015-05-22T20:54:36.017-04:002015-05-22T20:54:36.017-04:00I had the same issue that you had with pattern lis...I had the same issue that you had with pattern lists in different places, and , at my son's suggestion I loaded One Note on my IPad and phone.

Hopefully it will be on sale at Hancock's soon and then I'll pick it up. It's not like I'm sewing anyway. Hahaha. Hopefully, I will get SOMETHING done over the long weekend.

I haven't liked most of the "culotte" patterns I've seen, but as a wearer of culottes during the 1960's, these are great.

Those little girls dresses are sweet. I'm tempted to start collecting them. Then with my luck The Princess will either never have kids or only have boys!! But that maxi is fabulous. Will be great for your upcoming vacation and casual Fridays. Would be easy enough to add a cap sleeve so I could wear it without a cardi, right? Happy sewing! ggMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04301526396026815132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-55010446841606250852015-05-22T08:09:48.683-04:002015-05-22T08:09:48.683-04:00I liked the b/w dress and yellow dress but the vid...I liked the b/w dress and yellow dress but the video sold me! This *is* a great marketing tool!!!<br /><br />You know I'm a pattern addict but I've been a bit more discerning lately. A bit. Your method though works for me with fabric. And moreso now that I have a collection of fabrics in my sewing room (vs in bins in the basement). Touching my fabric and thinking of the possibilities helps me fight off the stash-building demons! :)SewCraftyChemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971798108420431518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-64785232152970155162015-05-22T08:03:42.590-04:002015-05-22T08:03:42.590-04:00I'm being good and not succumbing to the urge ...I'm being good and not succumbing to the urge to buy new patterns. I'm managing to remind myself that there are plenty of patterns right here that have yet to be used, as well as fabric that has been earmarked for each. Now fabric is a whole different story. I go to the store for thread, and somehow a few pieces of fabric just manage to tag along with me.

I have a pattern addiction too. I thought the McCalls video was a great sales tool. Recently I organized my patterns in boxes with a few labels and I was so happy. Thanks for reminding me to look at my old patterns. Sometimes I design clothes in my head and realize I don't own the pattern! V1401 is an example!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508759996980147353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-41172174504372498412015-05-22T06:30:23.207-04:002015-05-22T06:30:23.207-04:00I'm ready to try culottes- God save me from my...I'm ready to try culottes- God save me from my husbands opinion I them!prttynpnkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16513331416653286924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-46947556879766510212015-05-22T01:43:52.244-04:002015-05-22T01:43:52.244-04:00When the sales come, I tend to get the ones I want...When the sales come, I tend to get the ones I want to read, not sew (and then I often donate them to the high school - at a buck apiece, it makes me a bit more eclectic). I picked up repro 7153 McCalls at JoAnn's on the deep discount, mostly because I've sewed something like it before and am curious how they address the sleeve fit issues. Otherwise, it's all been 70s vintage Vogue on Ebay; I have now purchased two more patterns I used to own in 1976, thankfully not for more than the original prices. Still wrapping my mind around the 70s and 80s being vintage. I guess I am, too.<br /><br />SJ Kurtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871599515352715171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-76321147800683163582015-05-22T00:26:09.330-04:002015-05-22T00:26:09.330-04:00Thanks for letting me know about the sale - for so...Thanks for letting me know about the sale - for some reason I never get the BMV emails, despite being a member!
