201: size bust hip
Yes, really. Twice in one day.
I couldn't wait to get started with showing you the awesome stuff I scored last weekend.
At a church sale, I spied a couple of boxes of sewing patterns and started rifling through them.
I pulled out these first:
Followed by a couple of others:
Then one of the ladies who was working the sale excitedly said,"You sew?? Oh, I'll make you a great deal on these! How about 3 dollars for that whole box?"
Sold! And a smaller box for 2 bucks.
And look at what I discovered when I got home and emptied the boxes onto the lawn:
Vintage kid's clothes patterns!
Love those illustrations.
And how about these:
Oh yes, vintage apron patterns!
Some little pouches and smocking instructions:
And a full shot of this one, wow:

What will it be? Well, I'm still working on that, not sure. So far I'm thinking a bunch of fabric, maybe a little painting, jewelry supplies, cool rusty bits... Perhaps a vintage sewing pattern? You know, if you're into that kind of thing.

60's and 70's look frighteningly familiar! ha. Have fun deciding what to do first. Nerm
Have you started your very own "hobby apron" yet?
No, really, those are just amazing. I wish I frequented yard sales etc. I think that's more patterns than I own. And I ADORE the kids stuff.

I LOOOVE the apron pattern! That's so vintage and just so cute!
I've been scanning all of your posts looking for the answer to your embarrassing first concert though.
