Jenni, once you have a couple more posts under your belt you'll be able to send PMs. Right now you can only receive them.

Lauren- Love the Pauline Trigere pattern.
Jenni- Thanks for the offer, that is so sweet. I discovered that it the pattern did have the directions. I think I was just suprised that I got it for such a good price.

 

[deadpandiva]

I said i wasn't geting anymore patterns. Apparently I am a liar.

Just scored these on eBay, a little more than I'd like to pay, but I need some blouses:

The beauties can make liars of us all! That one is stunning! I love the neckline.

 

[deadpandiva]

Valya- I love the McCall on the bottom left. I am a sucker for a curved yoke and gathers.
Kamikat- I think I'd have to stay off the computer all together in order not to be tempted. There are just so many amazing patterns and I feel like I need them all.

Wow!!! I'd love to see the one on the right made as it is in the pic (navy) or chocolate brown. I wish i could get a copy of that one!

 

[Lauren]

Neat! Dpd, I was watching that one, too! I'm glad you got it! Love the cut out effect at the neck.

 

[Lady Day]

I just picked up these two and Im ecstatic about the second one (thanks Swinggal!).

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

LD that second one is awesome. The little built in bandana! Ohhh heavens!

 

[deadpandiva]

LD- I love both of those. The first one is very much my style.

 

[Lady Day]

I adore them, but the seller is charging me an obscene amount for postage and a 'handling fee' (noted in the listing). Yeah, a fee to handle a pattern lol Ill have to make sure I note that in my feedback. :rage:

[kamikat]

I am in love with that second one!!! You can thank your lucky star that it's just one size too big (in the upper chest area) and we'd have come to blows over it. When I've been overcharged for shipping, not only does it go in my feedback, but I usually write them a message explaining how I've sold my share of patterns and I know they are overcharging me by X amount and that I've never buy from them again and will tell everyone I know not to as well.

 

[Lady Day]

Im really getting sick of overcharging on shipping (old rant, I know). If they use an Ebay sticker for postage, Im gonna take the package to the post office to see how much *actual* shipping was, then adjust my rant accordingly

Wow!!! I'd love to see the one on the right made as it is in the pic (navy) or chocolate brown. I wish i could get a copy of that one!

I am planning on doing that version exactly but I don't know how to get the stiches so bold.

This is just TOO gorgeous for words! Divine!

 

[Valya]

(possibly off-topic)
Ack! This lady has some beautiful patterns, but her prices are ridiculous! I am considering making her a "best offer". Have any of you ladies ever been in a situation like this?

 

[Lady Day]

Yeah overpriced, but Ive seen worse. Much worse lol.
Just make an offer, if they dont take it then they dont take it.

Start the offer low, then see their counter. If their counter is only a few dollars off their original, then dont bother. Shop somewhere else.
