Maybe they sit on 'pending' until the week that they are due to go up, and buttons has only just started. Can't wait to see what you've got made though :-D

Gertie was my Grandmother's and Imelda I bought for $50 and is slightly falling apart, but they are so darn handy although I do suggest that when you go to buy one, get a good one. I've got to pull Imelda apart and try and repair her.

I haven't bought any Colette patterns yet because they are a bit outside my budget right now (and by "budget" I really mean "I'm not buying anything because I don't have a job; no job, no money"). However, the patterns are lovely and beautiful and covet them!

I went to the library and found quite a few books that have free patterns. There is also a lot of free patterns on line. I wish you the best in finding work. Hopefully sewing will keep your spirits up.

On the dress forms, what do you think about the adjustibles? I didn't realize there was such a range in price so I will definately do my homework.
