Got 18 retro patterns

 I joined a while ago a group on facebook called sewing with cats. Mostly it's cute photos of cats hanging out with sewing projects or interfering.  

In late April at the beginning of the pneumonia someone in that group was gifted with a large lot of vintage patterns and giving away those she didn't want. I was greedy and got 18 patterns. Two for children, the rest all for 'young women' including a few 'junior teens'.  Since the shipping came out to $21.50 US I made sure to reinburse her. But 18 vintage patterns for 25 CAD is an amazing find. Moreso as most patterns are my size.
