i heart friday.

I'm still alive & kicking. The first week of school just really kick my patootie. I feel like I've been running an underwater race wearing concrete boots. Ugh.

I received some really fabulous vintage goodies in the mail this week though...I left them all wrapped up until this morning. Sort of a TGIF present to myself!

This little booklet is wonderful!


Basic sewing skills are listed with lots of illustrations. If you have (or want to bid on) a vintage pattern without instructions, this booklet could help you to a finished garment. I'll share some pictures from the inside later this weekend.


I also received this Weldon's sewing booklet/catalogue with pattern UNUSED and intact! That's pretty rare, since there was no envelope to store these patterns; they were just tucked into the center fold.

It is pristine and full of fabulous vintage illustrations of Weldon's patterns from the early 1940s, and I will likewise share more images from the contents later this weekend!

Off to school! Have a great weekend!!

  1. Girl, Friday is the only thing keeping me from physically attacking someone at work. I am so totally on the edge of Going Postal.

    I just wrote "Girl Friday". I wonder if that's available on Netflix Instant Play... who was that, Cary Grant? Oooo, and Rosalind Russell! Awesomeness.

    I heart Friday, totally and completely. Can't wait to see the inside of that fist booklet.
