New Patterns

Picked these patterns up for $2 each at my local (craft store that is :)).

A good range of patterns for someone just venturing into the world of commercial patterns again, I think. I've been working off tutes and printables since I started sewing again.

There’s a boxer short pattern, men/boy slacks, cargo shorts and shirts, some toddler patterns and a good range of dresses. A nice surprise with the kids patterns was the inclusion of a backpack. YAY! I wanted a backpack pattern eventually and did not realise when I bought them it was in there too.

Wish me luck as now I have to decipher all the symbols and intructions. They seem pretty staightforward (fingers crossed).

Does anyone have any tips for other patterns useful for someone starting their pattern collection?
