I asked my boyfriend to get me Threads from the bookstore. He came back with Ottobre 3/2004 (I swear I had it once but it had been lost ages ago) and this issue (77, 2001). of Sew Beautiful by Martha Pullen

While I really like the look of things there (the one piece dress 12mo - 4T is cuuuute), I'm can't do smocking to save my life, so if someone wants it at "free shipping" I'd want to have $ 6 ppd. I'm open to trades

So is the Ottobre for sale too? (I am interested, if you are selling it!)

What kinds of things are you looking for in trade??

Ottobre... I'm not sure, I'd have to trace a couple things. How about 14 ppd? I'm currently ISO

*Solid color knits
*Solid ribbing for T-Shirt necklines
*Men's patterns: raglan t-shirt, cargo shorts
*Double needle, wooly nylon, singer bobbins
*Waistband elastic, drawstring elastic, FOE, Lastin, elastic thread for shirring
*Girly fabrics: Princesses, dora, PRR, nay etc.
*Men fabrics, my BF is fan of music so notes, guitars, beatles etc. would be great!

You get the idea, I've 2 little girls and a big man, and a medium mama at home, so try me!

I would like the Ottobre and am not in a big rush & can wait until you are done tracing. Either the 14.ppd or I can let you know what I have from your ISO list - just not tonight because I am SUPER tired and going to bed real soon. But either way, I definitely want the Ottobre ok? (I think I have alot of things on your ISO list)

I have a bit of Dora fabric left over from a project. I would love the SB. I'll see how much I have....

Great, I'll wait for you to dig in your stashes (stashs?, stash?) and I'll trace in the while. I'd like to trade as I'm in a "no more $ for sewing" mood, but trades don't count right?

For starters(!), if you'd rather trade for the Ottobre, I have:

*Solid color knits - but I'm not sure what is 100% cotton or cotton/poly blend - any certain colors that you're looking for?
*Solid ribbing for T-Shirt necklines - I have some nice weight white
*Men's patterns: I might have a raglan t-shirt, haven't had a chance to look through them yet
*Waistband elastic - what width?
*drawstring elastic - possibly have some but not sure
*FOE - I have quite a few different ones - 1" white & alot of colors in the narrower (I think it's 5/8")
*Lastin - I have 1/4" and 3/8" (now where did I put it?!?)
*Girly fabrics: PRR - mostly the prints fromSpring '05 - Nay : any particular one that you're looking for (I have quite a few of these!)

These are just a few things off the top of my head.......

I've got a yard and a half of Dora fabric that I'd love to trade for the SB, if you are interested. :-)

PLMK!

Warmly,
Laura

As Laura asked first for my ISO list I'll give her the first dibs on that. I'll let you know if she changes her mind
