| Crepe fabric |
Last week, I had a looooooooooooog lasting virus.. I just didn't feel like doing
anything. So, I foud myself reading my favorite blogs, finding new blogs and
then roaming around ebay.. I found this adorable lot of vintage patterns.
I bidded on them, but didn't really expect to win them.. I put the amount
that I was willing to pay and {intended} to walk away. Keep in mind,
that darn virus was making me do things,ha.. Someone was just a
raising the bids up.. Now....... I just couldn't let that happen, I had been
on that sight admiring these patterns too long!!!!!
Well.............They came home to me... And I love them..
ps.. The orangey/apricot crepe fabric was on sale, and I couldn't resist it.
Oooo - those patterns are fabulous! I've given up on ebay for vintage patterns because here in the UK they are just too expensive (and I probably would never get around to sewing them anyway :)). Hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much.. I am feeling much better..
DeleteI really liked the patterns too.. and dont know when , I will ever get around to sewing all them.. But , oh how , I love to look at them.lol
What a wonderful collection of patterns - great score and in a few years I am sure you will forget how much you paid for them. I am looking forward to seeing which one you make first.
ReplyDeleteThankyou.. I am so proud I went ahead and won the auction.. You are right, I will soon forget the cost.. And once they are gone, they are gone.lol [Aren't I good at making excuses for myself?lol].
DeleteI can't wait to sew some of them.

I LOVE the patterns! (wish we could get together and work on those dresses together..they are just my style, and prob.size, too ;) You may have inspired me to 'bid' as well, although my other re-do projects have put my sewing on hold...ouch. Miss it. Guess we are both on the mend? HA!

Thankyou Margo.[Ebay can hook you.ha]. I feel so much better, I normally never get a virus..This one was awful and soooooo long lasting.. Never want it again.ha
DeleteDear Sweetie,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you were sick...hope you are all over it by now. Viruses can be so nasty...hanging around FOREVER and reeking havoc with our bodies! Love the pattens you snagged up...I'm always trying to catch a minute to find dress patterns on ebay. I'm jealous, I love the top middle one with the scallops...can't wait to see what you come up with!
Take care!
Laura
Laura, I too loved,loved the one with the scallops.. Isn't that pretty?
ReplyDeleteI sure didnt need to buy any patterns. I have a ton of them.. But oh how I love them.. Just looking at them , gives me sooo much enjoyment.
That viurs was an awful one.. I don't normally get viruses , but wow..that one stayed for ever.. Didn't think it would ever go away.. I was just so thankful that Kenny didn't get it ..
