Isn't it awesome when Spring hits and all the new patterns come out? I try to only buy a select few, but man oh man it is hard to choose these days! My strategy is to think on a pattern for at least a week before purchasing, that way I can ponder it's place in my wardrobe and what fabrics I might use for it. If it is perfect for something in the stash then that is a good selling point for me these days, and it seems to be a theme for others as well. At any rate, Spring is the catalyst for many people's sew-jo returning, and I love to see that!
