I never knew kits like that existed. I have seen the kits for 1960s purses but am amazed. I am a true beaded cardiganaholic.
I am disappointed this year as not found a really good find of one.
That kit is fabulous.

I step away from the internets for three days and all of you ladies have found the most amazing things! Hurray for everyone and their new stuff!

I am very exited about the Bead it Kit. I came across one a few years ago but didn't get it. I will be sure to post pictures if and when I use it.

Nice magazine, LD, those magazines are the best.

Cici, I also bought some fabric recently. I've been so good with fabric lately that I didn't think it was naughty to get a little of these I'm trying to find more of the Holiday Hostess fabric. If anyone knows where I can find it, let me know! I have less than a yard, but I figure if I can't find more it will make a cute apron!

 

[deadpandiva]

I love that fabric. I must purchase some.

 

[SayCici]

The first two I posted were from "Happy Campers", if anyone else is interested in them.

Ive seen a version of this one at Michael Levine's with bold red lines instead of blue. I *adored* it but its yardage was too pricey
Fabric Depot, here I come!

I'm trying to find more of the Holiday Hostess fabric.

fabulous fabric Lauren. I love it so much. Hope you find more.

 

[Lauren]

Thanks, Foofoogal! I'm looking forward to creating something with it.

I'm super excited about my purchase- a Howard Greer gown!!

 

[Lusti Weather]

Wow, congrats on the Howard Greer! It's gorgeous.

 

[23SkidooWithYou]

Lauren...whatever you make from this, I WANT it! lol

Now I have to go learn about Howard Greer. Is this little number for New Years? Certainly would be perfect.

 

[Lauren]

Yay! Thanks, gals!
I wish I found more of that fabric! I got less than a yard because it's all the lady had Ideally I'd love three yards so I could make a dress. Maybe I'll run across it someday!
I spend most New Years sitting in front of the tv watching old movies. lol But maybe I can make an excuse to go out...

 

[deadpandiva]

Gorgeous dress Lauren, I spend most of New Year's watching old movies also.

I am trying not to buy 50's patterns as I'd like to focus on late 30's but I really like this one.
