Buying Fabric On-Line
I just went shopping and I never left my kitchen! I received an email from Fabric. com with their daily specials. They have patterns on sale and they always have fabric on sale. With my ASG membership I also get an extra 10% off, so my new membership is already paying off.
I bought some beautiful designer fabric. One is a lightweight wool blend with a little stretch that will make beautiful pants for fall. I also bought a wool blend knit, loosely woven to make a top, either in a T-shirt pattern or an unstructured jacket. Just for good measure I also threw in a jersey print for a top. I already have patterns for these, but I couldn’t resist buying a dress pattern too.
Fabric.com is a great place to buy Dupioni silk. I have bought it when it’s on sale and made capri pants and shirts out of it. The colors are so rich and deep, and it sews beautifully. They have linens, and linen blends that don’t need ironing. There’s stretch cottons in a wide array of colors, and shirtings. There’s just too much to list.
They also have quilt fabric. You quilters can find batting, and other notions. They sell Brother and Janome sewing machines. They have organic fabrics, too! There’s organic cotton and knits, hemp, and bamboo, along with organic soy batting.
There are other fabric stores on-line, and I have purchased from quite a few. But, I always seem to go back to Fabric.com, and I am always happy with my purchases. I think the quality and price make for good value. And isn’t that so important in these tough economic times?
Handbags have been essential to our daily life especially the ladies who always have something precious to carry around with them. The very first mention of bag in written literature comes from the 14th century but as since become a household name.
Find an older, all metal machine at a thriftstore, and have it serviced at a local sewing machine repair place. You can probably do this for under $100. These older machines are very tough and will last a long time, unlike today’s plastic machines. Look for one that has metal gears, like a Singer 400 and 500 series. The metals gears will give it plenty of power to go through heavy material. DO use the right needles, like size 16 or 18 jeans needles, they have a sharp point to penetrate better. They might also have cams to make decorative stitches on clothes for your daughter. Enjoy!
I notice quite a number of sites which appear intriguing and really worth a read. There probably is nothing worse than sifting through countless yada yada blogs simply to find a few which keep ones interest. Thanks. Good work!
