But I do like the Cynthia Rowley pattern with the full skirt. Not sure if I can pull it off, though.liza janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916364137307894200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286753599148728267.post-4990156117678380522012-02-19T15:58:54.204-08:002012-02-19T15:58:54.204-08:00You know what, I'm kind of off envelope patter...You know what, I'm kind of off envelope patterns at the moment, too. I've had SO many recent Burda successes that I'm really energized to sew more Burda. And I do have lots of patterns that I love and would love to get to in envelopes already...<br /><br />That said, one can never have too many ball gowns! tee heeCliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286753599148728267.post-36239466951912492812012-02-18T14:40:54.143-08:002012-02-18T14:40:54.143-08:00If we didn't have pattern sales here I wouldn&...If we didn't have pattern sales here I wouldn't be buying as many patterns for sure. But even with these new patterns, the only one I really want is that last gown pattern. It seems the more sewing I do, the more I realize I have a strong preference for Burda and other magazine patterns. Recently I find myself buying fewer envelope patterns at the sales. Last year I went a bit crazy with increasing my stash (both patterns and fabric) because it was the first year I was really into sewing anything other than skating costumes.T.

Beca...Nothing here is particularly calling my name. Because patterns are so expensive here (rarely under £4 each, more often £8+) then I have to really, really love a pattern to consider buying it - or get very lucky with an online sale. I recently added a page on my blog with all my pattern covers and line drawings so that I can see them all together and I was surprised just how many of them are very similar when you just look at the line drawings and ignore the photos/sketches on the front.ReadyThreadSewhttp://readythreadsew.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
