Pattern of the Year - Vogue 9057

While looking over the list of items I made this year, I was surprised at how many times I've made this pattern.

Vogue 9057

 

Old Patterns

I was helping my mother-in-law do some cleaning at her house and found a drawer of old patterns.  I picked out a few that I like and are my size.  They aren't anything special or valuable, but they have sentimental value to me, and I might sew them.  If not, maybe my granddaughter will one day.

New patterns

I picked up a few new top patterns when they were on sale at Joann's. This is Vogue 8857

 

I love this blouse & thought I could use this pattern to copy it.

I also got this Sandra Betzina pattern (Vogue 1345)

and this Vogue 8880

Here's the line drawing; it has a lot of options.

Also got Butterick 5861

And now, to find time to sew them!

Fabric Purchase

I went to Joann's last week & they had their "red tag" fabrics on clearance for 50% off. I always look when it's on clearance and usually find some good deals.  Here's what I got:

First, a piece of tweed suiting.  It's medium weight, very soft & pretty.  Would make real nice pants, but there was only 1 yard of it.   I could use it for a bag or maybe a vest. It was $3.00 yd.

This is 2 pieces of printed corduroy,  I got 3 yds of 1 and 3.25 of the other.  One was $3.00 and the other $3.50 yd.

I really like the printed pants I've been seeing, so the idea is to use these for pants.

This is 2 yds of lt weight denim (to use for a skirt) and 3.25 yds of med. wt. denim.  They were $3.00 yd.  The check piece is red & pink flannel.  I got 6 yds of it for $1.50 yd.  Will use it for pj pants or a quilt.



I also got a 1 yd piece of black crepe for $1.50 that is very nice.


These are all basics and at really good prices.



I also got several spools of thread at 50% off and Vogue pattern 1323.  This is the line drawing.  I plan to make the shirt for warm weather (with shorter sleeves).
