Great Summertime Dress

I love the neckline and the pockets on this dress.  The sleeves are super cute too.  I think my favorite thing about it are the words across the middle of the envelope..."Simple to Make".  I've been involved in my fair share of complicated patterns over the last ten years but there's nothing I like better than to sit down and whip a dress up in an afternoon and wear it that night.

My Day Yard Saleing!

So many patterns, so little time!  I had a good day yard saleing (o.k., I know this is not a real word but bare with me).  The lady was so tired of selling things, she gave me these things!  I could not in good conscious walk away without compensating her at least a little.  I gave her a few dollars for everything.  There are more patterns but these are the best out of the bunch.  What luck!  I love the Vogue Paris Original by Patou, so classy.  

I ended up with several very nice Vogue Patterns.  A short list as follows:
