I am still putting my "House" in order, physically and metaphorically. But I am not working to quickly. It is important to enjoy the days as well.
I am sorting and cataloging my sewing patterns. I have just finished going through the Marfy patterns. I have not made a Marfy pattern for 5 years, but I have acquired a few in the meantime. Actually I am quite happy with my choices, I still want to make these garments, although some are perhaps a little too formal for my current life. I am not willing to commit to never using them though.
There is one Marfy pattern in which I have no interest, and no, it is not one of the patterns I bought, which is gratifying. It is one of the pattern sheets that comes with the Marfy catalog. This one is from the Winter 2007/2008 catalog and includes patterns for two skirts, pants, a blouse, a shirt-jacket and a lovely little cape. I will not make any of these patterns.
I have decided to give this pattern sheet away if anyone wants it. The six patterns are on a fold out pattern sheet and need to be traced. The sizes included are 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 54, and 58. Remember that Marfy patterns do not include seam allowances or instructions. A size chart can be found here. Although there is also one available on the McCalls website, I prefer Marfy's as they list measurements in both centimeters and inches and I don't have to do the math.
Pictures of the garments are shown here and I will include them with the pattern sheet. I no longer have the book though, these pictures were cut out of the book and pasted to a file folder.
If you are interested in the patterns please just leave a comment to that effect. If more than one of you is interested I will draw a name on Saturday morning using a random number generator.

This is such a lovely offer! I am not yet ready to take on patterns with no instructions so I will pass on the draw. Maybe one day I’ll be ready for Marfy 🙂

I dream of sewing a Marfy pattern and would love the opportunity to have my name put in the hat.

I’ve been too intimidated by the process required to get a Marfy pattern to every obtain one; but, I have a sneaky suspicion that it would just sit in my stash with all the other great patterns that I *have* managed to get. Still, I’ll throw my name in the hat…maybe I’d be so amazed at actually winning something I’d get kicked into sewing it up quickly! Oh, wait…school costuming starts in the next couple of weeks. Well, I guess it would join the rest mocking my lack of personal sewing time, then. LOL!

I just love the skirt on the right, number 1494. I’ve seen it reviewed on PR and would love to make one of my own.

I would love to be in the random drawing for the Marfy pattern? Any would be much appreciated..especially the shirt jacket or pants but I just want to try one? I always look at them but never have the fortitude to buy one. 😉 Thank you for throwing my name in the pot.
