A little bird told me that Julie (of Damn Good Vintage) had a birthday earlier this week, and I thought maybe I'd head to her site and find something delicious to post and wish her a (belated) happy day ... and (of course) I ended up buying this:
It's not MY birthday until August, so this cannot be justified as a birthday present to ME. But -- isn't it adorable? I love the little gathers at the yoke. And that pink is just edible ... I'd use little covered buttons in a pink floral print, wouldn't you?
(I think the women on this pattern envelope are all in an art gallery, and are looking forward to going out to lunch afterwards. They will all have cake.)
Now, if you also wanted to celebrate Julie's birthday as an excuse to buy patterns, as I did, may I suggest this one?
Or maybe this one:
It's a B40! And it has a circle skirt! And the women on the pattern envelope are like a clone-race of fembots!
And, speaking of birthdays and excuses to go pattern-shopping, Jen at MOMSPatterns had a modem meltdown. And while LESSER women would yell and scream, Jen is offering a special sale: use the code 'friedmodem15' and save 15% off any sized order on the MOMSPatterns site all weekend and she'll ship as soon as she's back online with a broadband connection. (What's the birthday connection? Jen's birthday is tomorrow! Obviously a reason to BUY MORE PATTERNS.)
Happy birthday, everyone!
