my newfound pattern obsession

holy cow! after successfully using my first commercial pattern i feel my world has opened up!
i have no idea why i had such a huge fear to start hahah =P

i have been collecting a few patterns while i dreamt of the day i would no longer fear them
and i also grabbed a few new ones today (99cents at joanns, happy independence day to me)

i now have a decent collection to begin with

here is a small introduction to my fashion world...
















i have already started making a list of  more to buy when each brand goes on 99cents sale again
time to go make my aunt another hat =D

  1. Great picks! I love all the dress patterns :)

    I have a small collection of commercial patterns, but to be honest, except for 1 (which I used in a HS class), I've never actually used any of them =X I'm kind of a stubborn seamstress and I'd rather wing my own than follow directions and risk poor fit. I think when I learn to alter patterns properly, I'll start using patterns more often.

    I can't wait to see how your patterns work out, though! Perhaps if you have some luck with them, it'll inspire me use some :)
