I can't believe I missed this one.

I can't believe I missed this one. I know I can't be everywhere at once, but this is the kind of thing that makes me want to write a PatternML language so that I can persuade all the vintage pattern sellers to make a single giant RSS feed which I could drink from, like some kind of immense vintage-sewing firehose. Wouldn't that be great? A simple tagging language that would let sellers mark their patterns consistently and upload them to some kind of Giant Awesome Database and then they'd all be out there, right where we wanted them. (I'll put it on the list, with the other kazillion projects I have going on right now.)
If I had been PAYING ATTENTION, like I should have, I would have seen this pattern at Out of the Ashes Collectibles and it would be mine. Now I just have to sit here alone with my bitter, bitter regret. (Ashes, indeed.)
But let me be a lesson to you, and go check out the site. There's some really cute stuff still around!
And while I'm wallowing in regret, it seems I let this incredible Alexander Henry fabric sell out while I wasn't looking. Anyone know who's still got, oh, four or five yards?
