Just a quick post...

flybystardancerLife has a way with screwing with plans. Will get the second BotCon post up soon as I have time.
Meantime, I stopped by JoAnn's on my home. Had some really good finds in the red tag section (which were 50% off, on top of the red tag discount!).
These are the fabrics I got:
(Sorry about the horrible lighting, that was the ONE SPOT in the whole house that had the light to show true colors. Bah.)
Blue floral is cotton lawn, the green vine-y one is quilting cotton, and the blue with pinstripes is a linen/rayon blend.
I'm thinking of making View E of this dress in the cotton lawn. There was just enough fabric left on the bolt! :D And I'm thinking of maybe View D of this pattern for the linen blend, plus a pencil skirt if I can cut the fabrics right. I'm not sure what I'll make out of the quilting cotton... I have not quite 3 yards of it.

Are you sure we aren't stalking each other? Because I've been eyeing that linen blend on the discount racks at my local Joann's... and also been wanting to make that first pattern. (The second pattern I haven't seen before; it's extraordinarily cute, and now I must buy it.)

Date: 2011-06-14 05:47 am (UTC)I got those two as well as some others when JoAnn's was having their 5 Simplicity patterns for $5 sale the week before BotCon.
Some other patterns that I have (though didn't necessarily buy then): Simplicity 2703 (http://www.simplicity.com/p-1653-misses-sportswear.aspx), Simplicity 2938 (http://www.simplicity.com/p-1843-misses-plus-size-sportswear.aspx), and Butterick 5461 (http://butterick.mccall.com/b5461-products-10844.php?page_id=152). I know I have others, but I can't remember them off the top of my head. (And they're at the other house.)
