swinggal I love your tennis dress pattern, it's so simple in style.

Unfortunately I don't have a 30's figure to match, so can only gaze fondly at your lovely pattern.

I paid way more for this than I wanted to, but I was *so* good during July, that I just went for it.

Plus I have a torn out page from this exact catalog (the page that has a free pattern on it) that I found in a bunch of patterns I got.

Yay!

Yeah, was waaaay too much really. I never pay that much for patterns normally but I like that dress because I can make it into an everyday outfit.

So upset I didn't win this I really wanted to make a flutter-sleeve 30s gown for a function I'm attending. If anyone from FL won this on ebay I am happy to share half of what it cost and to get the pattern copied at Kinkos. Took my eye off it for 10 minutes at work...arrrrrrg!!! Was a 38 too which is my size

Love the tennis dress, swinggal!

I had this on my watch list all week and was really surprised I won it! Yippee! I even have the perfect fabric in the stash. Now, just to work up the ambition to make something tailored again... haven't tackled any suits since last year. lol

I just recieved this 1928 Butterick patterin in the mail. Unused too Can't wait to make it! I have so many sewing projects on the go! The most in a very long time!

Just got this one today!

Just got this amazing 1939-40 pattern in 44 bust. I only paid a couple bucks for it! Isn't it darling?! I am so excited!! The pieces seem to be all there and the instructions are in good shape and not all crumbly!!

HA!
I have that pattern in that size too! Pattern Buddies!

Always wanted a gathered neck blouse AND a pin-tucked front version too!
So many blouse patterns, so little time...

Kamikat pattern is nice. I love the short sleeve version.

I found a pattern for a swirlish dress after seeing all the lovely wrap dresses everyone else was making.

I'm a sucker for fancy yokes and puff sleeves.

And finally a jumper pattern, And I shouldn't need to make many alterations to this except maybe take in the waist. I wish I could get a better view of the blouse.

Ohh, I saw that second one, DPD.

One more for a great price! I haven't bought many patterns lately, I forgot how awesome it feels!

Pattern buddies! LOL!

That is so cool, LD! I thought it was so darling and the bigger sizes are so hard to find. I was sure someone would bid me out of it. Then I would cry!

 

[kamikat]

DPD, that Swirl-type dress is beautiful!!!

 

[crwritt]

DpD I like the circular yoke on the swirly one. Yet another cute version!

[Lady Day]

Just a whole lot of searching
