Oh this is terrible news! The last blog I just looked at has me wanting to buy patterns and now I want to buy fabric too....off to have a look!
WOW, cool buys! I'd love to pick your brain sometime and learn how to sew adult clothes well since all I make is childrens' clothes.
Yeap - you are my fabric twin separated at birth! *LOL* I just want you to know that I was placing an order at 12:01am when Melody was changing the prices on the website!!!! I wanted all three of the silk pieces but decided that I wouldn't look that great in the silk poppies. However, I did buy some of the other two! And when I tracked the UPS package it said that it would be here on Tuesday!!! Great prices, great customer service and fast shipping! Gotta love it!
Girl, you are bad for my wallet! Must visit her site now.
Gorgeous fabric choices! And, I'm visiting the site now...
Omigosh, I love that Sybil Connolly dress pattern. Very Oscar de la Renta-looking. Can't wait to see that one made up.
The silk poppies is very pretty! And the linen is interesting, I need to go check that out. (Great pattern choices too, btw)
I've already made a dress in the German print. It was a little heavier than I expected and has a lovely sheen with just the right amount of stretch. It should sit really beautifully for the dress pattern you've chosen. I teamed it with a chocolate brown belt and even made a matching clutch purse to wear to a wedding. Can't wait to see your dress.

I like the look of those party frocks...can't wait to see them made up...and I love your jacket choice.
Ummm, my fabric came in and you are going to love these pieces! Did you get yours yet?
And are you done sewing SWAP Y-E-T?????
What perfect fabrics for each of the patterns! And love the pattern choices too. I can't wait to see the finished products!
Wow, these are so inspiring to see so perfectly matched up. And I honestly can't choose a favorite.
And the yellow dupioni dress--gasp worthy.
I also have Simplicity 5036. When you get to it, you'll post pics, right? :D
Also, I have admired those two vintage vogue patterns, but I've bought so many patterns on eBay lately that I feel guilty buying any more!
