Mini Pattern Haul …

So I gave you tons of ideas last week of some great patterns you can pick up while there was a sale, and I must say it was a nice one. Any time Butterick Vogue and Burda is on sale its a good weekend as far as I’m concerned.

But let me show you what I got during the sale… and keep in mind I’m trying to be very intentional with my pattern buying. I read a lot of reviews because nothing irks me more than a pattern that is poorly drafted, and even the Big four has a few of those within the mix.

V9311 - This pattern has been around for a while, I’ve always been on the fence about it because that plunging neckline is a bit much and most of the reviewers on Sewing Pattern review have raised the neckline which is not hard to do. But this pattern reminds me of the Lois Dress by Tessutti Fabrics/patterns that is not available in my size. So in comes V9311. Its a loose fitting dress with ties and a plunging neckline.

V9008- Another pattern that has been around the block a few times…. its a shorts pattern and it gets great reviews from many on pattern review and quite a few of you also told me how much you loved this pattern so I finally got it.

B6847 - It is a Palmer Pletsch knit shirt pattern with a cowl neckline detail. I already made it over the weekend and I’m not quite so sure if I love it. it is really long! I almost had to cut two inches off the length. But it does the job.

B5795 - A one piece swimsuit pattern with gathers on one side. Thought I might as well get this swimsuit pattern since I talked about it. I’m on the hunt for fabric. The fabric I really wanted for this sold out! So going to take a trip to Vogue fabrics near me and see what they have. I believe they have a really small selection but I’ll be around that area it doesn't hurt to look.

B6567 - This is a Lisette pattern and I love their designs. I found this out of print pattern on the drawer and felt it would make a great summer dress. Especially with some linen fabric.

B6669 - Another pattern that I have never seen before. Its a wardrobe pattern and I can’t believe I have never seen this pattern before. Look at View C…. and you can also make it into a top. Look at the skirt…. and the wrap top. Yes this one will get some mileage as far as I’m concerned.

Last but not least….

Butterick B6872 - It is a nap dress. We talked about this on my Sew the Look video that I posted last week. Since we haven’t done a sew along for quite some time I thought it’s time to make view A.

So what patterns did you get?
