This Week's Pattern Story


Vogue 9749


Red Hat: Do you have the money?

Swim Cap: Of course -- right here in my absurdly large, yet surprisingly stylish Bonnie-Cashin-looking beach bag. Did you come alone?

Red Hat: Yes. Well, except for my sister Peggy. She always insists on tagging along! So infuriating. I made her stay twenty paces behind me, though, so no one thinks we're together.

Swim Cap: So how do we do this?

Red Hat: Keep pretending I'm not standing way too close to you. Then drop the bag. I'll pick it up -- you keep going.

Swim Cap: And the illegal sunscreen will be in my cabana?

Red Hat: Within the hour.

Swim Cap: It's a pleasure doing business with you. Say 'Hi!' to Peggy for me!

    HA! Illegal Sunscreen. I need SPF 1000 -- I get burned so easy -- Freckles ya' know.

    Marylou - I too love the Bathing suit. I want that BEACH BAG for a purse!

    oooh, I wish that pattern were in my size. I love the bathing suit and that bag is fabulous. I can whip up my own pattern for the bag. The suit is sadly beyond my pattern making skills.

    Nice suit and bag!

    I like the distress call clearly stamped on the front: "May Day"!

    Illegal sunscreen, laced with wrinkle remover, tan enhancer, skin softener, bug repellant, and a rich man attracting pheremone.

    Ooo, slather me up baby! :)

    Is she looking for the illegal sunscreen or the hot cabana boy?

    Whoaah, Justine, I'd buy THAT sunscreen.
    I love "What's the Story", this one is my favorite so far too.

    YOU are so funny! I have tears running down my face. I can't wait to show my 16 year old daughter these stories. She'll love them.
    Gee I only have 2 years of stories to get through...guess supper will be late tonight!
    Glad I found you.:)
