Oooooo, Denise, nice patterns. That seller had lots of lovely patterns but the two I liked were going for silly money so I sat on my hands and didn't bid!

Yea...I was rather shocked that the bigger sizes actually went for -way- less then the tiny ones....I didn't pay more then 20 for anything...and two of them were under 15....

Truly shocked as usually there is a scramble for the larger pattern sizes and you don't find them as often.

I did also nab a copy of the picture of -everything- he had up for sale.....reference material

Good idea!

The ones I liked wouldn't be that difficult to draft, I'm sure, so I intended to save the pics.

I.....love....patterns......

No gppd for sweet little me then!

Where on earth am I actually going to wear these things?!

I got this one too. Quite possibly my absolute favourite, I could wear this to my dance class I guess [huh]

Is anyone here bidding on a lot of 27 patterns that ends on July 18? I was bidding on it just for a single pattern. If you win it, I'd love to talk to you about buying the single pattern from you. Please pm me.

I am very happy about this. I so need shorts without pleats.

kamikat · Jul 22, 2008

Just won these. I'm really excited about the first one. I plan to make it in light blue gingham.

You could make a pair of shorts with the pants pattern too, and have a swell playsuit! Adorable pattern.

There is a story that now goes with these....my patterns arrived and two of them were a completely different size then stated (or pictured)....

I went to double check what I bought ( i am careful but do make mistakes) and low and behold, he had other sizes for sale of those two patterns. So I got their's and they got mine.

So everyone is now playing mail -exchange- ....so i still dont have -my- patterns....The seller is being great about fixing it...refunding me the $ it will cost to ship it back to him..etc...so no complaint....just snickering at having drastically smaller patterns arrive. I am sure the skinny winners were in shock at getting huge patterns too.

They're all wonderful, but I especially love this one - the unique yoke, and the back inverted pleat. I've never seen a back pleat on a kimono-sleeved garment.

I did think that, but I'm not brave enough to get that much leg out lol

sorry, i need a new camera, hence, no pic!

I just noticed a vintage inspired swimsuit on PatternReview and noticed it's one of those Burdas you can download for free.

It looks really good, I can't wait to try it.
