I have been looking for a pattern for that type of coat for ages.

 

[Serena]

I found the sizing to be slightly on the larger side for me, but have heard that a lot of people find them a bit on the small side. Best thing would be to trace off the pattern and make up a muslin from an old sheet first to test the pattern.

Bought these 2 today.

The second one seems to be very easy to realize!

I love that send pattern. I had my eye on one just like that but decide the skirt would not be flattering on me.

I love the 1st view on this pattern with the contrast and braid. I want to make it in kelly green and black.

It appears that I'm preparing for my February spending fast by buying a bunch of patterns. I have a couple more coming. BTW, anyone know why I can't use images from eBay any more?

 

[Lauren]

Love that second one. Very cute!

deadpandiva, that will look smashing in that color combo!

 

[Lady Day]

Etsy, yes? I was hemming and hawing over that one for awhile! I would love to see a pic when you've done it.

Faboo sleeves!

 

[deadpandiva]

That Excellea pattern is lovley.

I sold a pattern on etsy and bought this one. It was a really good deal because the long sleeve is missing.

Heaven help us!

The non-sewer just bought two patterns.

This might take a very long time to actualize, but I'm going to try a nightgown. (The short red one is my fav.) I figure it won't require expensive fabric and if it only turns out so-so, it's okay because it isn't street wear. I also sucumbed to the jumper temptation but will ask my Aunt or somebody who can sew to help me get the best results.

Woo! We've got another one hooked, girls! The pajamas, I think, are a good choice although my sister might not agree. She made a pair for her first pattern and hated them!

These arrived yesterday:

Then my mom pulled out her prom photo and we compared her Gunne Sax to that one! Good times.

Beautiful pattern deadpandiva. Those colours will look great. Could you please post the back of the enveloppe so I can see the pattern pieces? I'd like to try to make this in PatternMaster.

Tell your sister to save me a seat on the newbie bench! ...and so it begins...noticed after I posted that the one I want to make is a "hospital gown" and calls for ribbon yardage to tie the back closed (won't I look "breezy" in that! ). So, I'm going to have to adjust and work a center seam down the back. I don't think that would be too too hard but I can always just make the long one with the puff sleeves instead. I can't wait to go fabric shopping!

 

[deadpandiva]

Here is the back MarieAnne.

I can't believe I won this! I put in a last second bid, never thinking I'd win it but I was lucky.
