Do you enjoy searching community and church fabric sales as much as shopping at thrift stores? I sure do! There was a great sale near me last week & the funds were being raised for a charity organization. So I popped over to see what was there. It was primarily quilting fabric, notions and books (and a LOT of it) but I did find a lovely black and pink tweed/boucle -- and then noticed a few boxes of garment patterns in a corner :)
I had fun searching through them, and found quite a number that were from my fave 80s/early 90s era of patterns, and in my size. (And just realized I missed one of them in this photo, a summer sundress).
I'm not yet sure what I want to use this lovely fabric to make, but I am keen to try out a couple of these patterns asap. So many of them are fun, look at all the blouses with the huge sleeves! (That's a plus, by the way...) I think I'll try out the McCalls wardrobe pattern and the Vogue first. Now to go through the stash and choose some suitable fabrics, not like I don't have a ton to choose from :)
It was really fun to join the scrum and see what I could find. I do love paper patterns, especially of this vintage. Never have to worry about having something to do, anyhow!
