Jackpot!

The mail came yesterday and even though I'm working a ton and have almost no time to sew until the weekend, I'm excited! Take a look at my score:
You know you've somehow become too busy when you find yourself trying to chose between blogging and showering because you don't have the time to do both. Well, I just had to get up earlier to fit both in.
Who needs sleep anyways? That's why there's coffee. You can sleep when you're dead.
Here are my favorites.
Butterick 5978 from 1921


This slip pattern is identical to the vintage bias cut silk slip that I wore under my wedding dress. 
Advance 8229

I'm really loving the tucks at the waist of this 1950's slip and really want to try it out in a two-tone combination.
And of course, everyone needs a tie at the waist blouse that makes them look like they just stepped out of a magazine.

Vogue 9422

And now, for the pièce de résistance:


I was really excited to get this vintage Australian sewing magazine in the mail and then I realized, this wasn't the one I bought! So I emailed the seller and apparently the two magazines got switched. Now I can't decide if I should arrange the swap the seller (who was lovely by the way) suggested, or keep the one I have, which is also to die for:

God bless Australia.



Oh, and by the way, at the risk of beating a dead horse, I'm in ninth place in the Burda Style refashion competition, could you please vote for me if you haven't?

  5. Hello! I understand this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask.
    Does running a well-established website like yours take a large amount
    of work? I'm brand new to operating a blog but I do write in my diary on a daily basis. I'd like to start a blog so I can share my personal experience and views online.
    Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for new aspiring blog owners.
    Appreciate it!
