More Patterns!

Joanns was having an absolutely amazing sale today! All Butterick patterns were on sale for 99 cents! A fantastic deal! So, I bought 11 patterns (the limit is 10, but my Mom paid for one separately). Now I just have to purchase all the necessary fabrics...
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....
