I am on the fence about 1662, I seem to always miss Simplicity pattern sales at Hancock Fabrics, uggghhh. So Joanne will be seeing me this week.

However, I'm sure that when I see your finished dress, I'll love it and go look for the pattern, find it and say 'her dress is THIS pattern?!?' Happens all the time. :) I like 1466 and the skirt pattern. Very cute. And thanks for the WAWAK thread suggestion. Great idea.Leigh in Portland (we are not burning down)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06372544021604211747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-87084447610751125602014-06-27T15:00:18.619-04:002014-06-27T15:00:18.619-04:00Oooh, I never thought to buy thread from Wawak, I...Oooh, I never thought to buy thread from Wawak, I buy lots of twill tape and other supplies.

But I'm having a devil of a time getting good blog photos whenever I step into the frame, so take that as you will.<br /><br />The pattern sales at JoAnn's have overstocked my larder the past few years. I have always picked up patterns just to read, but 5 for $7 and 10 for $10 has expanded my reading list tremendously. I keep a list of #s in my wallet for such 'emergencies'.<br /><br />(edited for clarity)SJ Kurtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871599515352715171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-9793408350513043762014-06-26T21:28:18.212-04:002014-06-26T21:28:18.212-04:00Thanks for that tip.
