And the best bit is that they were all so cheap, which is great for poor struggling uni students like me :)
SO....
After I walked into the place, hyperventilated for a few short seconds from joy, I scoured all of the places for patterns (like you do...) and I found these awesome peices for just $1 each...
Yup. One dollar each.
And then I hit the racks and racks and RACKS of awesome vintage finds. There was this gorgeous peter pan collar sheath dress in this gorgeous green I had to tear myself away from, mainly due to the $60 that the person wanted for it. But, after I had run around gathering as much inspiration for new dresses and thingts I found this piece of remnant (about 1x1.5m) of 8mm houndstooth knit for $5.
I think its going to be a good fabric for the peter pan collared sheath I plan to make myself to make up for the one I couldn"t buy. Which I'll be putting in the massive pile labelled "Stuff I Have To Make When I have Time During The Semester Break." I also grabbed some spotted material for the first pattern (not in red and white, hopefully it will be just as cute though.) which will also be going into the aforementioned pile.
It's nice to have something so great to look forward to, though. Looking longingly at all of the projects I'm going to do after these two dresses I'm making atm for Design 100 is keeping me going like the clappers to get everything done :) Its more tempting than a packet of Tim- Tams and a bottle of red wine (or a date like the one I'm going on tomorrow. Maybe the colourful dress can finally get some usage lol).
Anyway, have a great week. Comment me with any interesting thoughts on alterations on the two dress patterns, or if you've made anything similar :) or even if you were at the same fair and found yourself unable to leave without a snazzy new purchase. Have a good week, everybody.
