Thrift Store Finds

I live in Thunder Bay, Canada. It is a small city and we have one fabric store: Fabricland. My options are limited unless I order online.

Then I realized we had 4 thrift stores in town. Maybe I'd get lucky and find some patterns? Worth a look right? Well - I found some amazing old school patterns. Take a looky!

Ps. All 10 patterns cost me $0.29 each! How amazing is that?!?!? Pretty amazing. Yes, I answer my own questions.

And my one failure:

Girls 8-in-1 pattern (McCalls 8044)

 Oops. I was so excited for the body suit(top right F) and the panel button placket (centre white C) that I completely missed the part that this is for Girls Not Misses. Ooooopsie! Still cute though. Hey McCalls can you make this in ladies sizes? Much obliged! 

So what do you think of my thrift store pattern haul?? I think I did already! Especially since I thought I wouldn't find anything at all! :D I love to be pleasantly surprised!

Ps. Excuse my shitty photos - I take my photos with my iTouch; it has 0 megapixels. Excellent.
