ARG! More coupons came today! Normally this would be a cause for celebration, yet since I went on my rant about hating Joann Fabrics I feel guilty about shopping there. And if shopping at chain stores wasn't bad enough my dad e-mailed me this sad story which makes me want to shop there even less. eww.
This new hatred has lead me to search through my reserves and make some wonderful finds:
I have decided that I shall not purchase anymore fabric until I make things out of the lovely fabric I have already. The purple dots one will be a shirt, because there is only a yard. I want to make a skirt out of the striped one using a no pattern idea I found (thanks Betsy Ross!). I'm not sure about the other two fabrics, but I have a lot. By my best math impaired guestimate I have 2 yards of each. I might make a dress out of one of them, probably the pink one. I have been thinking that I will just try to make a dress with no pattern. I realize this is very idiotic of me and will no doubt end disastrously, yet I still feel a burning desire to try. Have I mentioned that I want this hypothetical dress to have smocking? I bet my mom can just hear the phone ringing with me crying at the other end about what a colossal mess I have made. My justification behind this is that the fabric has been sitting on a shelf or in a box somewhere for the last 3+ years, so I can't remember when/where I bought it or how much it cost and that means it was free, so it would be okay if I messed it up. I could always rip the messed up dress into tiny shreds and stuff them in my neighbors speakers, thus inhibiting their gay music listening.

Now I shall go begin the no pattern skirt. No pattern....it just sounds so scandalous.
Adios Amigos!

When I went to go get my fabric for Tonia's Birhday present my sister and our "foster child" got some polka dot fabric, they were going to make pillow cases, but then the decided they wanted to made dresses...so they got to work...or should i say my mom did and she made them dresses with no patterns, i will try to get one of them to put it on so i can show you them, they actually turned out pretty amazing! And i have gotten my mom into the crafting mood and she went out and bought fabric and a pattern to make herself a dress yay for crafts!
