Joann's had Butterick patterns on sale for $1 from Aug 22-24. I went absolutely NUTS for the Retro line. As a big girl, these patterns are very pricey ($20 each!) and not in the usual catalogues. So, at any opportunity, I grab them like a shrieking fishwife at a fire sale. 
Such beauty and elegance! And such amazing possibilities!
And in sizes I can actually wear and use. I'm so excited for the mash-up possibilities, the color blocking and fabric blending, the mind BOGGLES. Or bottles, if you're a Blades of Glory fan. And I AM.
Because these are Retro (as opposed to Vintage), I'm much less hesitant to cut on them and tape pieces together. But I do have an awesome hipster shirt in the works that will KILL.
More on that later. For now, revel in the Retro lusciousness with me. And Dream...
