Simplicity and Butterick Pattern sale

Earlier this week I was in JoAnn's to purchase threads, zippers and such.  Simplicity patterns were on sale for $1 and Butterick and McCall's for $1.99.  I had a few patterns on my wish list and decided to take advantage of the sale.

Here's what came home with me




The Butterick patterns are ones in the new fall pattern category.  I am not overly excited about any of the new patterns, none really gave me the WOW feeling when looking at them.  Some seem like versions already released but presented with different fabrics making them to appear new.

Of those patterns the two Butterick patterns above did speak to me the most.

I have not gotten on the kimono jacket wagon yet either; it does have some appeal to me.  Decided to purchase the Simplicity version of this style.  I did like the top pattern also by Simplicity and for a $1 worth the price to buy.

I am planning some sewing this weekend, planning to complete the culotte project and then turning my thinking toward transitional sewing for season change.  Later!!!
