Giant box-o-patterns. Will see what I actually got. #sewing

Good. Joanne's going belly-up caused all the major pattern companies to fold.

Plastic wrapped. Paid $30 for this, because it had more than 3 patterns I wanted, and buying them individually off eBay would be $15 each. #sewing #patterns

Most of these... never going to use. I will probably distribute them in lots to folks here somehow. This pile here all women and children's. The interesting stuff to the left, will post those in a second. #patterns #sewing

Okay, here's the stuff I am keeping, LOL. Worth buying the pile, but it's just a small section... I am going to sew a more formal shirt. Thus the desire to acquire a pattern for said shirt. I could clone a shirt, but the usefulness of the pattern is it has steps to assembly, which for a newbie like myself is useful (to understand what gets sewed in what order and how it all connects together). #sewing

Inside sheep is stuffed with fiber fill, best kind for stuffing things is a polyester based stuffing. It doesn't turn into pebbles. And if you actually plan on making a sheep, 2 pairs of hemostats will be your best tools, one straight tip, one curved. Works great for turning and stuffing.

@ACNelson LOL not sure I'd ever MAKE a sheep, but it seemed amusing to keep, nonethless. I am sure an "outside sheep" or "inside sheep" would be eviscerated by the dog 🤪

I wonder if a pattern section of a LFL would have any appeal 🤔

It probably depends on the pattern.

@piebob Unclear to me. It's pumpkins I think. Stickers? Cling window doohickies? There's also two black cats. I think Halloween themed?

@piebob I probably should try a pattern for a stuffed animal LOL. (instead of winging it). At some point... Now that I have a couple of choices for shirts, will do that next. Going to do a straight (white) shirt out of a sheet... just because. Actually need a white shirt here in reserve. Just tossed the ones I had, because I hadn't worn them in awhile and they were gross LOL. (of course, it would be cheaper and easier to just go BUY one, but you know, funner this way).
