Hobby Lobby has Simplicity patterns for $.99 this week ... ends Saturday 4/14. Hancock's will have McCall's patterns for $.99 April 19 - 22. I can't find JoAnn's coupons but some of their patterns should be on sale also during their next sale. If none of these work, download a coupon or add from any of these and take it to Wal Mart - they will honor it.
Culottes or gauncho's or whatever you want to call them are so much easier to make with a pattern.
