Not so much.
Last weekend, I went to Joann for their Simplicity/McCall/Vogue pattern sale. I have not purchased fabric in a Joann for a couple of years because it is all AWFUL polyester crap. But I really liked the cotton print on the left. It will be Butterick 5209, the version with sleeves.
The middle fabric is a crazy home dec-ish type thing from G Street's $2.97 table, purple with a metallic gold sheen. It was absolutely perfect for my Mermaid Parade costume. I got 1 1/2 yards and it's all gone. (Next post will be about my fins.)
The fabric on the right is also from the $2.97 table, a knit print. I was looking at my stash and realized that I sew up knit prints pretty much immediately. There are never any that actually sit in stash. So I'm allowed to buy them. I, um, made a huge order to FFC (first internet fabric purchase of the year) that included four knit prints, so I now I need to think about patterns. Woot!
Oh. I like that print from Joann. And that's also a pattern I had my eye one for a bit.
ReplyDeleteI have the yellow fabric in my stash too........I can't resist the Joanne's 60% off sale. By the time I sew all the fabric in my stash it will be next summer! Good luck......
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI always stop in at Joann's or Hancock's for emergency notions and end up with something from the clearance tables! I'm hopeless!
