Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing.
I was wrong, and I repent. I do not think, however, that repentance involves taking any of my purchases back to the store.
The main sin was not in the purchasing of this cute fabric. Indeed, the real problem is that the two patterns were not on sale. I cannot recall ever having performed this evil act before. My main reasons for doing so were 1. These patterns are brand new (*cough * I thought they were not on the website yet, but I was wrong. This does not weaken my reasoning!) 2. There are not going to be any pattern sales (that I know of) until the spring stuff is not so new anymore 3. The high temperature for the next four days is below zero. I am going to be cooped up in this apartment with some gin, a strangely failing internet connection, and these beauties.
I have been searching for a 60's A-line dress like this for a long, long time and this is pretty much exactly what I had in mind. Also, the other dress looks to me along the same lines as the Lover dresses I linked to yesterday, albeit longer.
I will say five Hail Berninas and go to bed without dessert. Ok maybe not that last part.

You are such a good girl, Hail Mary's fix everything...Or maybe a few swiggs of gin will? I think your resons for your purchases are fabuloso. Continue on, feel good about it!! :)

Oops, you said Hail Bernina's... that works too.

No, no, no, being evil would be just buying the stuff and then stashing it away. If you actually make the dresses and post pretty pictures on here as inspiration to the rest of us, then I'm pretty sure you'll be forgiven. Seriously.
