Sale at Joann's

So...I bought 2 patterns. My Joann's was having a sale on Simplicity patterns for $1.99 each. I purchased:


I thought that this pattern was pretty cute and could be worn casually and as evening wear (am I crazy or can I really make this casual?). There are a lot of fabric suggestions on the back of the envelope varying in different weights (from crinkled gauze to a brocade - different much?). Just waging a guess, but I believe Simplicity agrees with me on the casual/evening wear front. You remember that red and white polka-dotted fabric I bought? Call me crazy but I would love to make this dress from that. I'd probably feel a lot like Minnie Mouse. Not to worry, I have the right ears for that. (Await future pics!)



This Steampunk Neo-Victorian skirt and bodice pattern is so lovely. I love the jacket and the bustle. I can't wait for Halloween time when I can wear this out (or in the comfort of my own home). Ah yes, I am already fantasizing about the satins or silks I can use. Perhaps in a nice deep navy? Yum. Pair that up with a pair of steampunk goggles and lace up boots and we've got something adorable. Does anyone else share a love of period clothing?

Happy crafting!
-Love, Janneth
