Stash acquisitions

I lucked out with fabrics at Joann's on Saturday. These are what followed me home, although there were plenty others who wanted to join them.

1. Wonderful brown doubleknit. I wish they had more. There was only 2.25 yards on the bolt and I bought it all. It will probably be "yoga" pants. I've been living in the black pair I recently made.

2. I didn't buy this on Saturday, but it's here so you can see it next to #3. I bought this from Joann's last winter. It's cross-hatched denim (no Lycra) and will be the jeans I'm currently working on. It's cut and I'm in the middle of pin-fitting.

3. Paisley textured stretch denim, 3 yds. This will be a casual, unlined jacket.

4., 5., 6. Heavyweight denims (no Lycra), 3 yds each. #5 is a brushed denim, very nice. These will all be jeans. I'm still on the look-out for solid brown heavyweight, non-stretch denim/twill. I have a lot of brown print knits in the stash that want to become cool weather tops to wear with brown or blue jeans.

Again I did not come home with a big cutting mat, but only because I didn't see any. The whole sewing area of the store had been re-arranged since my last visit (but in a good way!) so I probably just missed it. Plus, I was too enchanted by all of the nice fabrics on display. Yes, nice fabrics at Joann's. Imagine that.

I also bought an entire bolt of muslin and used my 50% off coupon, saving myself over $12. Woo hoo! Love those coupons. I used the 40% coupon for the brown knit (saving approximately another $10), as it was the only non-sale fabric. Then I used my ASG discount card for an additional 10% off the rest of my purchases. So all of those fabrics, two magazines, and one clear ruler for less than $100. And, I came back with ZERO patterns, even though Simplicity was on sale. I looked but nothing really spoke to me.

I think I did well.
