Pattern Lusting

As usual, I've been drooling over patterns and fabric more than I've been sewing. I got it into my head that I'd look great in a long-sleeved 1940s dress with shoulder pads -- I think it is the same part of my brain that has me convinced I'd rock a 1970s jumpsuit and not look at all like Muriel from Muriel's Wedding.

Delivery: MyUSshopnship

My Loot!

Well I got a delivery from MyUSshopnship and it was VERY exciting. It had all sorts of patterns (all vintage or out-of-print), fabric samples and 3 yards of wool fabric to make a jacket. Most of the purchases were from places that didn't ship to Australia so in that respect it worked really well. I don't think it saved money by having them consolidate the orders so I won't use it to save on postage unless the international postage is ridiculous.

Vintage Patterns!

I'm not supposed to be buying more patterns or fabric but I fell in love with this...

And found it on ebay along with 2 other patterns from the same designer.
