I need a new pattern like a hole in the head but


I scored this anyways. The way it works, bid on things when you have less money to spend, and I think I won't win, and I do. Isn't a beauty?

Very nice, I love vintage styles! Speaking of sewing, have you found all the great sewing stuff at www.WeAllSew.com? Links to free patterns and tutorials, but there's also a great list of organizations that need help from stitchers to help others.

Free Friday Patterns

Tomorrow being Friday, more free vintage patterns: Simplicity 5502, yr 1973, size 18, B40, W32, H42 - dress/jumper with lined and shaped yoke, back zipper, high round neckline. Simplicity 8541, yr 1969, size 18, B40, W31, H42 - button trimmed dress with back zipper, shaped bias roll collar and a pleat simulating an opening, short sleeves or sleeveless. Post a comment and I will draw this weekend. And to last weeks', now I have your info & they will go out tomorrow. At this rate, I may thin my stash quicker than I thought. Once my kids go back to school, I may go through the fabric stash and make little scrap bags for quilting scraps for giveaways. On the home sewing front, I was able to get one top put together for daughter and the second is also sewn together. Both need bias tape finishing (handwork) which can be done in the evening in front of the TV. Maybe tomorrow I will get the remaining pants cut out, bringing her total to a possible 5 pairs of capri/shorts for school...
