I thrifted a nice pile of quilting and sewing magazines last month for the minimum bid, including a vintage issue of Burda with all the pattern pieces intact. For those of you who don't make clothes, Burda is a fashion sewing magazine published all over the world and runs about $15.00 per issue last time I checked.
There was also a quilting pattern for a pretty wall hanging and a bunch of applique patterns that probably came from other quilting mags.
I don't know if I'll ever really get into applique, but I'll hang onto the patterns just in case. The magazines are all in pristine condition, so I'd price them at $3.00 resale, or $45.00 (the vintage Burda issue could be worth a lot more than that, but we'll just price it the same as the others.) The pattern and applique templates altogether are worth plenty, too, but we'll add them on for $10.00. Total value would be $55.00; I paid $9.99 for the lot. Savings: $45.01.
