#(lost my patterns in a fire in case anyone missed that info)

looking into rebuilding my pattern collection and it's just

how do I rebuy 7 years' worth of patterns all in one go?

when it's a pattern or two here and there over the years, it's negligible cost-wise. when I need them all back at once, though...

(this brought to you by: the realization that it would be over $200 just to buy back all of the Truly Victorian patterns I had. I could defray that significantly by rebuying the Prior Attire Victorian Dressmaking book, but...that's out of stock right now)

(some things I can get out of pattern books that a friend very generously donated me, but they unfortunately don't have what I'd need to remake the Lucille park dress, for example)

it's just. it's a Lot and I feel very overwhelmed, to be honest
