Damn and blast!  I completely forgot about this sale and so missed it at the JoAnn's.   :(   The nearest Hancocks went out of business a couple years ago.   :-\   Guess I'll watch for another sale. 
Nothing clever to say here.  Not enough caffine yet.

That truely does suck.

Be careful: someone on another forum had taken them out and looked at the pattern pieces: while they are OK for size, they us a HALF INCH seam allowance, not the standard 5/8".  Just check and double check all the seam allowances given...

How can you tell? It says in the instructions 5/8", except for the french hood which is 3/8".

I think she was looking at the corset pattern.  Just be careful...

I went on Saturday and picked up some patterns from Hancocks while they were 5 for $5....  I ended up getting a few other things too.  I'm going to start working on the corset tonight.  Has anyone else tried this yet?  I know it just came out... but I figured MAYBE someone has begun on the underpinnings....  Maybe not...  I also know many of us work on multiple other things throughout the year and tend to have too much on our plate to begin with.

I really want to start on mine, but I havent bought the fabric yet and I have several other sewing projects that need to be finished first  :'(  Why cant things sew themselves and make it easier sometimes?

I was in again last weekend & they still didn't have the new patterns.  I'm beginning to think these are some kind of urban myth like sewer alligators or chupacabras.
Sveethot!

I've started on it, the corset and it is time consuming, but I am also taking my time since I have never made one before

Hopefully soon you will be able to find them.

I picked up the patterns on Saturday, and I really want to start on the corset (I have everything ready; I just need to settle on a pattern/mockup that *fits* me!)... but I've promised myself to cure my Costuming ADD, and that I will finish my Italian sleeves before I start back on the corset...

Hope it's a well-behaved chupacabra!

I assure you, Taffy, these are real patterns. ;)
I scanned in the patterns I bought, before simplicity had them online.
Hope you get yours really soon!
