A few days ago, I was passing by my new favorite section in Walmart - Fabrics. Since I got my sewing machine this past Mother's Day, Ben has intermittently been guilting me with reminders about using it.
I have a few projects in mind and I AM going to be using it on a regular basis, but the idea of looking through fabric and trying to figure out how much I need is overwhelming.
Anyway! I was passing by the fabric section and I saw a huge sign. $5 Bolts! "Whoa." was quickly followed by "Wow!" I glanced through them and was immediately freaked out by the concept of "what do I make with it if I buy any?"
So, I had to walk away and ponder about it.
I went back today and made up my mind to pick up a few bolts. Each one has 5 yards of fabric so it comes out to a dollar a yard, which isn't bad. (I've been trying not to think about the quality of the fabric, so don't even go there.)
Here is my booty and I am thrilled:
Visions of flirty skirts are dancing in my head!
I broke out my sewing machine and now I'm just trying to make sure I find some patterns that don't exactly LOOK homemade... you know what I'm talking about. Oh, and the grey and black striped fabric was Ben's request. He wants me to make a hot pencil skirt out of it... Heehee!
Happy crafting! I'm in heaven!

Awesome! I'm gonna have to wander down there....
sewing is fun! I have cool patterns for skirts and I made one for Aislyn while she was in UTAH. I will enter it in the fair and then she will get it for Christmas.
Can't wait to see what you create! There are tons of easy patterns online too.
Ben's legs could use a tan!
Hey, why not create some cool looking Halloween costumes. It is just right around the corner.
