I ordered the Simplicity book from Amazon used, for a whopping $1.14. The shipping was three times as much. :)
Thank you very much to all the ladies who have offered their help to me. I very well may need to ask a few questions here and there. Luckily my step mom sewed a lot when I was younger so I have her to go to also.
I know I just ordered the patterns today but I'm ready to get started already! :)
