Wow, that cape is spectacular. I may have to see if I can finagle that design from patterns I already have 
Two came in the mail today;
Some friends of mine are expecting their first, and the hubby wants surprise the misses with some vintage maternity wear. It will be my first venture into maternity patterns, Im excited and I have tons of muslin at the ready.
I was reading through the instructions and this amused me (read the bottom). I love how patterns talked to women like children.
lol

Yeah, he's a friend. I'm sure they are on the way. Do you have his email? I know he's been swamped with patterns. He's opening a new site with thousands of vintage patterns.

This is not as cute as the one I got for my sister but it's similar and we can dress alike.
I hope my mother can help me with this crochete pattern.
This magazine with two dress patterns. I am asuming I will have to draft parts of the patterns but I think I am up two it. Sadley the coat pattern is not included and I am in love with it.

I just bought this one. Its 1960, but I think if I make the straps a bit differently, perhaps thin them and make them cross in front and tie at the neck, it will look more like 50s style which is what I like. Any other suggestions to make it more 50s?
Then again, I kind of like that it will hide that underarm pudge.

Slightly fftopic: but, has anyone else got ridiculously excited when they find a pattern which they already have a garment made from?
I have an evening dress, which has been slightly modified from the pattern (I actually like my dress better than the pattern view) and yesterday I found a pattern for a day dress that I bought from a friend! Funnily enough they have both been McCalls patterns which are probably my favourite vintage patterns for style, fit and graphics.
Both garments are 1930s, by the way.

I got some new patterns that I'm thrilled with, but will never buy from that eBay seller every again. For 3 patterns, I paid $10 shipping. Having recently sold a ton of patterns, I know exactly how much it costs to ship patterns.
I love this one because it has a modern feel to it, with a nice vintage fit.
I'll save this for winter.
I've bee looking for a vintage nightgown that would be a good candidate for adding a built-in shelf bra. I think this one will work.

Has anyone made Simplicity 9769? I'm thinking of buying it and I wondered if it was any good.

And two I bought from the Vogue sale:
I think this one looks better made up than on the picture.
Goning to hit Jo-Ann's on Saturday for more bargain Vogues AND a 10% off coupon on top of that! Whoo!
