Thrifted Patterns: The fugly, and some pretties too!

Tanit-Isis showed off some of her thrifted pattern finds from this summer, both good and bad (although I don't think her bad were too terrible), when she asked:

Tell me about the stupidest pattern-impulse-purchase you’ve ever made.

Well now, instead of telling, I thought I'd show you. And sadly, this isn't even all of them, or even the worst, just the ones I had handy on Flickr from one single thrift shopping trip. I have no idea what I was thinking. Please don't judge me too harshly.

Okay, I kind of like the bodice of Simplicity 9224, and I think it could be pretty if made up well. Still, I have no idea why I bought these two.

In my defense, I've been seeing variations of the New Look 6484 in modern patterns (Vogue 8711 and New Look 6969 - the latter of which might actually be the same pattern, recycled), but that doesn't mean it'd actually work for me.

The sweatshirt will be made up for my Mom as she likes these types of tops. Well, she will if I lengthen it. Maybe.

Okay, generic robe pattern is generic. I have nothing to say about the Style pattern. I just don't know. I'll be over here, hanging my head.

Speaking of thrifted patterns, I found about a half dozen patterns from the 50's and 60's at a garage sale yesterday. I know that your confidence in my pattern choices are probably a little shaky right now, but there are some lovely patterns in there, especially the dresses. Sadly, they are too small for me (size 10-12, bust size 32). Dammit. SO, stop on by tomorrow, because I'm going to give these lovelies away!
