Pattern Sales

While visiting the Stitchers Guild site earlier this week I learned that JoAnn's had Vogue patterns for $3.99, Butterick and McCall's were $1.99. There were several patterns that I had seen or read reviews for at PR thus I took advantage of the sale prices and visited both of our JoAnn stores this weekend.

Here are some of my purchases
This Vogue blouse-I have some eyelet fabric I want to make up this blouse in but will not use the three tiered sleeve, just too much for me.

This Vogue dress-I think I have something in my stash to use for this one.

This SB top-I have a pale rose colored silk dupioni that I think will work well for the short sleeve version for the summer.

This dress-Though I won't do the puffy sleeves, perhaps will make them straight or petal shaped. I have another piece of eyelet that I would like to use for this but not sure that I have enough.

And this dress-I actually purchased some fabric on sale at JoAnn for this one. Black with white polka dots. I am going to make the dress in the center and a little shorter. I will try to post photos of fabrics I purchased later.

And this dress, also. I was inspired by SewWest blog's photo of this one. Like her I wear suits, dresses with jackets to work and this one spoke to me also as one to wear to work. Again fabric in stash will be used.

Got to go, more later.
