I did a little job on two patterns, one a circle skirt and the other a fitted princess dress bodice...to come up with a three tiered strawberry short cake dress for my daughter....Cindy can I even say that on this blog, because truly, you and your guest writers are way cooler than strawberry-whats-her-face. Thanks for this tip post!

I tend to look at the line drawings more than anything - it keeps me from getting too many similar items. Eventually, I plan to photograph and categorize everything on my computer so I can file them in number order in my drawers.<br /><br />I have noticed that a lot of patterns with ugly fabric choices or strange artwork on the envelopes go out and print and get "reissued" soon after with better cover art.<br /><br />I frankenstein all the time too. =)Brookehttp://customstyle.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-91994851794171594532012-08-29T09:50:51.890-07:002012-08-29T09:50:51.890-07:00I do the same thing with the list of patterns I wa...I do the same thing with the list of patterns I want for when they go on sale at Joann's or Hancock ;) I keep the list on my phone at all times so I always have it with me if I find a sweet sale. Sadly, I now have a ridiculous amount of patterns in my personal collection. I fuel my addiction to vintage patterns (I get them at thrift stores) by selling on Etsy :) I only keep the ones that I truly love or that are in my size and the rest I sell. At least this keeps my husband happy with a justification of why I buy so many :)Behind Kline's Doorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12036311317432076103noreply@blogger.com
