Coveting: Patterns

Oct 30, 08:18 PM - and

I’ve been browsing the pattern sites again! I was getting so frustrated browsing vintage patterns because I couldn’t find any of the ones I liked for sale that I gave up and went over to the McCall’s Pattern Company and Pattern Review to check out patterns I can actually buy.

For the past three days I’ve been browsing vintage pattern sites looking for deals and finding almost nothing that I liked that was either available for sale or in my size. If it is available for sale it’s either way too expensive for my budget or it’s way too damn small, I’m not afraid of grading a pattern up, but not 6+ sizes!
