Oh I love them all especially the 30’s ones- I so wish to wear more thirties instead of forties all the time but I never have much luck the pattern department any more.
Great finds every one… said with great envy!

Just the other day, I got this cutie (my size and 2 cute dresses for one money? I'm pleased as punch!)

swinggal I love your tennis dress pattern, it's so simple in style.

Unfortunately I don't have a 30's figure to match, so can only gaze fondly at your lovely pattern.

I paid way more for this than I wanted to, but I was *so* good during July, that I just went for it.

Plus I have a torn out page from this exact catalog (the page that has a free pattern on it) that I found in a bunch of patterns I got.

Yay!

So upset I didn't win this :( I really wanted to make a flutter-sleeve 30s gown for a function I'm attending. If anyone from FL won this on ebay I am happy to share half of what it cost and to get the pattern copied at Kinkos. Took my eye off it for 10 minutes at work...arrrrrrg!!! Was a 38 too which is my size :(

Love the tennis dress, swinggal!

I had this on my watch list all week and was really surprised I won it! Yippee! I even have the perfect fabric in the stash. Now, just to work up the ambition to make something tailored again... haven't tackled any suits since last year. lol

Always wanted a gathered neck blouse AND a pin-tucked front version too! :D
So many blouse patterns, so little time...

Kamikat pattern is nice. I love the short sleeve version.

I found a pattern for a swirlish dress after seeing all the lovely wrap dresses everyone else was making.

I'm a sucker for fancy yokes and puff sleeves.

And finally a jumper pattern, And I shouldn't need to make many alterations to this except maybe take in the waist. I wish I could get a better view of the blouse.

Pattern buddies! LOL!

That is so cool, LD! I thought it was so darling and the bigger sizes are so hard to find. I was sure someone would bid me out of it. Then I would cry!
