so i am so super freaking cheap that i only buy things from the AS-IS room at Ikea... i know you are thinking, gosh Ikea already has great prices whats your problem cheap-o! turns out once you find just one ridiculous deal, you can never go back... NEVER!
i found this 3 yard piece of striped fabric in the bottom of a bin, it was used in a display, so it was marked down to 3 bucks... not 3 bucks a yard, 3 freakin bucks! not only that but it was a 60 incher! that means a good 12 inches wider than your typical cut of fabric... i nearly passed out!
so out came my 99 cent simplicity patterns... woot woot!
{dont ask about that face, i don't know why..}
it pays to be cheap!

P.S. - I concur, but prefer the term "frugal" to cheap. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute way to do mother/daughter. BTW, I just want you to know that I LOVE your blog. I love it so much that I linked 2 of your posts to my blog, Granny Girls. You can see it at http://thegrannygirls.blogspot.com/2011/04/tee-shirt-necklace-tutorial.html. If you have any comments or concerns, please let me know. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove the jackets....and I fully admit to being cheap too. I only buy patterns at the 99 cent sales....and 50 cents at DI and savers. And you totally scored on that fabric!
ReplyDeletewow!!!! You are incredible! I want to be able to sew like that someday!
