    Thanks!

    I was considering trying to sew for the first time in years and this has spurred me on! Three Vogue patterns, two of them vintage which I can't get anywhere else... Now I just need to dig out the machine and get on with it!

    I've been spurred into sewing again thanks to the credit crunch and two communion and three weddings this year.
    I am well chuffed that the patterns are currently on promotion because the Vogue ones are very pricey.

    This usually happens twice a year - now-ish, and September/October. Worth a note in the diary, as full-price patterns have reached a silly price.

    Thanks, I wanted to get some patterns, but at full price was working out a bit too much.

    Nooooooo! I have been away this weekend and didn't read this thread until today. I bought 2 full price patterns yesterday that cost me nearly £25! :mad:

    Thanks for the post though - I'll probably get some patterns for future projects!!

    oops lol I shouldn't have looked. I have been promising to make the children a fancy dress costume for our trip to Butlins, just ordered 3 for them to choose from. Now I really should learn to sew lol.
