Lauren, all of those are lovely. You have excellent taste.

I think this is missing the instructions which shoudn't be an issue for the blouse and skirt, but I've never made a jacket before.

I have this pattern too! I would be very happy to hook you up with the directions. I guess PM'ing doesn't work in this forum, so feel free to email me at jenniloves2sew (at) yahoo (dot) com. :)

Lauren- Love the Pauline Trigere pattern.
Jenni- Thanks for the offer, that is so sweet. I discovered that it the pattern did have the directions. I think I was just suprised that I got it for such a good price.

Valya- I love the McCall on the bottom left. I am a sucker for a curved yoke and gathers.
Kamikat- I think I'd have to stay off the computer all together in order not to be tempted. There are just so many amazing patterns and I feel like I need them all. :)

I adore them, but the seller is charging me an obscene amount for postage and a 'handling fee' (noted in the listing). Yeah, a fee to handle a pattern lol Ill have to make sure I note that in my feedback. :rage:

I am in love with that second one!!! You can thank your lucky star that it's just one size too big (in the upper chest area) and we'd have come to blows over it. When I've been overcharged for shipping, not only does it go in my feedback, but I usually write them a message explaining how I've sold my share of patterns and I know they are overcharging me by X amount and that I've never buy from them again and will tell everyone I know not to as well.

Im really getting sick of overcharging on shipping (old rant, I know). If they use an Ebay sticker for postage, Im gonna take the package to the post office to see how much *actual* shipping was, then adjust my rant accordingly :)

Wow!!! I'd love to see the one on the right made as it is in the pic (navy) or chocolate brown. I wish i could get a copy of that one!
I am planning on doing that version exactly but I don't know how to get the stiches so bold.
