Our friend Emily Nee will probably be coming later on this month and will let me go through some of her unwanted fabric, so hopefully I'll find some that I can use for some of these patterns!
The first dress I want to make is the first picture I have up; the polka-dot one. In fact, I want to make it look like the pattern picture! I've already priced the polka-dot fabric, and with the 40% off coupons that we regularly get, it should be pretty cheap!
The next pattern is a retro pattern from '47. I think it's really cute! The next one is similar to a dress I have from Kohls. The 4th one I really like; I think I'm going to make the version of it with the cap sleeves (the white one). I think all the aprons are so cute! I can't wait to make some.
The 8th is also a retro pattern from '47, I prefer the one with cap sleeves. And the penultimate pattern (the 1st one in the last row) is another retro pattern from '52. I originally didn't care for the pattern, but after I saw the idea of it I started to really like it. It's a wrap dress, and the sides are open. Once you put it on you take the excess skirt from the back and it wraps around and buttons in front of you. I think it's really neat!
I have a pattern that we already had at home, it's for a dress and jacket. The jacket should work with most of sort sleeve dresses, so I'll make it.
Now, the total for this patterns without the sale price would have been $174 before tax. I spent less than $12! I love sales!

Now time to get sewing....
