I did a bad thing, more patterns!

I may have accidentally acquired some new-to-me patterns!  I can't help it, it's like a disease!  Heehee!  The first two I found on ebay and really liked them but they were ending while I was at work so I just slapped a minimum bid on them, not really expecting to win either and I got both!

Simplicity 5924 - 1965

I love this pattern!  It is so sweet!  It is basically a shift dress with different collar alterations but I can see myself wearing every single one!  The cover is ripped but the pattern is fine and it was bought from a retiring seamstress which makes me happy that it was once loved as much as I love it.  Plus I don't think I have any 1960's patterns (until now!)

Style 3923 - 1972
I didn't think I would win this one either but I am glad I did.  It's not my usual style but what drew me to it was the curved waistline on the front and the plunging v at the back.  I don't really wear full length dresses but I think this could look great for a wedding or party and would also work in a shortened length.

McCall's 7573 - 1981
This is a pattern I won in a recent giveaway on Bessie Art 's blog.  Hooray fro free patterns!  I like the short view though I am not sure I have enough confidence for a playsuit, I would really like to knock one up for someone, perhaps my sister.

    It is far too easy! I am not so bad with fabric, but patterns, oh dear!

    Absolutely thrilling! The adrenaline rush that occurs in the body when you make patterns on Ebay is quite exciting, so I understand you, heh, heh.

    That is very true! My mum sent me some this week too so she must be getting in on the act!

    I can't believe it. I made that pattern in high school when I was 14! It was adorable out of a narrow blue and white seersucker stripe. I would love to see it in a modern version.
