Patterns...
Did you get a chance to hit the Burda patterns sale at Hancock's this weekend? They were 2.49!! I know, I was in shock! Good thing they had that 10 pattern limit. Actually, I only got 8, but only because two I wanted were out of stock.
I have been thinking about my crazy pattern collection lately. Myrna posted the other day about how her fabric and pattern collections have started to feel overwhelming, and that really struck a chord with me. My patterns are literally overflowing the six file drawers I have to hold them, and that was before the new additiond. As a result, rather than buying new drawers to fit in new patterns, I'm downsizing. A little. So, check out my newly minted Ebay listings!
Lucky you, being able to buy so many patterns at sale price and what a great selection of patterns. I wonder which were the two that you didn't get! I've only bought one Burda recently - Burda 8351- but I haven't sewn it yet because I can't find any review of it by people who have actually used this pattern. Happy Sewing!
ReplyDeleteI hit that same sale...never seen Burda so cheap!
ReplyDeleteI hit the Hancock's this weekend, too. I can't remember a time that Burda has ever been on sale like that, so I stocked up. Now I just need for them to put Vogue on sale so I can pick up some of the new ones....
ReplyDeleteYou're very lucky to get patterns at that price - we NEVER get anything that cheap!
ReplyDeleteOh NO!!! That is unbelievable and I didn't even know about it!!!! I don't even think my Hancock has Burda patterns---only my Jo-Ann's! You lucky Lady, you!!!
ReplyDeleteSadly I totally missed this last sale. I'm also glad there is a 10 pattern limit on sales especially when it's the .99 or 1.99 patterns at Joann's. Dang it. There were a few Burda patterns on my wish list. Ah well next time.
ReplyDeleteThat is a stellar deal for those!
ReplyDeleteOooh you got some nice Burda patterns. I stopped into Hancock’s after the ASG meeting on Sat. and was shocked and pleasantly surprised to find Burda patterns for $2.49. Hancock’s never stocked them before. I usually buy them from JoAnne's or Pattern Review at a much higher price. For that price I considered buying some that were in past issues of the Burda Style magazine, just to avoid tracing them. They only had one of each pattern and the clerk that I commented on this to, agreed it was strange. But she went on to say that made the patterns really easy to stock.
