It’s been a pretty good Sunday here. The weather is really nice and cool. It was a high of 70 today! There was a bit of a chill in the air this morning that made me start longing for fall sewing. I have ideas for leggings and sweaters and jackets that I am excited to start making. It is supposed to go back up into the 80′s this week and I am sure that will make me want to keep sewing skirts and dresses, but I am going to start thinking about fall sewing and rounding up my fabrics and patterns.
On a sewing related side note, I hope you made it out to Jo-Ann’s today! There was a coupon in the flyer for 70% off your total notions wall purchase. I stocked up! I got hand needles, various different machine needles, bobbins and bobbin cases, pins, elastic, hooks and eyes and buckles. I should be set on these things for a good while now. I am happy to say that I did NOT buy a single Simplicity pattern even though they are on sale for $1.99. There just wasn’t anything in this last collection that I had to have. Which is probably good, since I have so many already. I am surprised that there weren’t very many costumes in this last collection. I am hoping they actually have some when the autumn collection comes out. McCall’s on the other hand has released some Once Upon a Time and Brave based costumes that are on my must get list.
I’ve been trying not to buy patterns either but those Once Upon A Time costumes look awesome!
I tried to get them in the last McCall’s sale, but my Jo-Ann’s didn’t have them yet.
Oooh, those ARE great costumes! One of the knit tops caught my eye, too, because it has a collar very similar to a ModCloth shirt that I absolutely adored back in the spring. (And then bought. Oh well. I can snag the same collar for a future use, right?)
Absolutely!!
