Letter to Hankcock Fabrics

Dear Hancock Fabrics:

Now last week, I came to the store b/c you had Butterick patterns on sale for $1.99. BUT, you didn't have the Spring catalog in. TODAY, one week later, you have Butterick patterns on sale for $4.99 each AND, it just so happens that the Spring catalog was in. What's up w/ that??

Now, you know that I cannot resist temptation, so I had to get
and


Thanks for being an enabler.

Sincerely,

Happy sewing y'all!!

What a Bummer!!!

So I ran, okay, drove to my local Hancock's Fabrics to scoop up the latest Butterick patterns b/c they were on sale for $1.99 each, limit 10. As you can see, no luck!!! They didn't have the Spring catalog out. I wasn't very happy, but I did manage to get some linen that was on sale at 50% off and stocked up on some thread as well as this was also 50% off. I'm trying to add more color to my rather bland closet, so one of these will be come a skirt. Well, I guess I'll have to wait and see what Joann's has to offer. Hope you had better luck!!!

Happy sewing!!

Choices, Choices

So, I haven't sewn a stitch in days and I feel miserable. I hope to be back at it soon. I have been working on gumpaste flowers the last few days, so sewing has taken a back burner-GASP!!! I was checking my emails today and received an update from Butterick. Some of them seemed pretty promising for me, especially since I am quite the beginner still.
Now, this pattern I really like. I don't have print in my closet, so this little number would really add some color.
I know, I know, I need another jacket like a hole in my head. But, I like this jacket, especially view B.
Now, I'm not in to the nautical look, but, again I like this jacket. They can keep the skirt, I worn enough of those.

So, I see I'll have to wait for the pattern sales to see which ones I can snag.
What about you??
