I guess it's time to add this one to my saved searches, since I managed to lose it too.Somehow I can't justify paying close to $50 for a pattern.
Todays links:
Have you Seen Laura Bennett's new collection set to go into stores? The Project Rungay guys have some of it up on their site. TDF.
And, where Is that little icon of the guy rolling on the floor kicking and screaming laughing when you need it? Threads magazine recent online article Fabric Shopping with a Pro inspired just such an initial reaction from me. The pro is Sarah Veblen, and there is some good information....but honestly, I'm guessing that almost everyone who reads this blog might be considered a pro when it comes to shopping for fabric or yarn.

Ouch! Been there.
Just as well you were asleep as you really can't tell whether that was as high as the winner would go. I know that the program I use puts in just enough for me to win, not the maximum I'm willing to pay. Isn't that the way Ebay's proxy thingy works too?
Beautiful patterns, Marji, shame you couldn't get them.
As for the little guy, do you mean him? :)
Wow - I love them both! I'd be bummed too; I hope you get another chance. Did you know that Etsy.com has vintage patterns? They might not be as choice as what you see on Ebay, but I've seen some good stuff.
Sorry you didn't get the patterns, I know how much you are longing for the first one! Thanks for the link to Laura's new line...I would have never seen it if you hadn't linked to it! I LOVE her pieces!
Sorry for your loss, know what that feels like. But based on your body of work, I would think you can easily knockoff both patterns. Unless, of course, the thrill of holding the vintage paper, studying every detail, is the main draw. I can most definitely understand that :-) Both dresses are just beautiful.
That was really a beautiful collection. It is true that it is difficult to wait and bid at those odd timings. It would be better, if you have opted for the auction tools that help in bidding for you during your absence.
