Since my sewing ability is currently hampered by time, space and a machine that won't sew in reverse I've had to scratch my itch my shopping. For fabric. At Joann's. But, you know, I've found some things I really like. I'm not a huge fabric snob - though I do love me a run through Michaels . But you can't have missed my affinity for the THE WALL at G Street. So when JoAnn's put some of their nicer, um adult-nonfleece-nonpromrelated-nonseasonallythemeprintedcotton, fabrics on sale I jumped. Maybe even actually a little bit in the store for glee. I showed you my first haul, but I went back and found one more piece.
Not quite the deals I saw before, but 90% off is hard to come by. My plan for this (yes, dearies, there IS A PLAN) is the same S&S dress but maybe the V-neck version. Likely won't line this one at all. This is a 100% rayon at $6/yard. Funny how suddenly $6 seems like a lot after $0.99. Shame how a great deal can distort your vision. But it was a good breach into today. I'm playing a little hooky and going fabric shopping and lunching with a sewing friend. We're planning on hitting both ends of the spectrum - a high end retailer and a discount wholesaler. With a break for nourishment in between. We're both wearing our latest creations which I, for one, am excited about as I don't have much call to dress up right now. And I'll come back later for the juicy details. Remind me to take my camera, ok?
Just wanted to say I care
ReplyDeleteHi BeeBee, another nice piece! I located some of the Joann 90% off fabric last week--thanks for enabling (really).
