JoAnn's fabrics always have their patterns on sale ... Last week they had Simplicity patterns 5 for $5, and McCalls were 5 for $7, Vogue were $4.99 each and Butterick usually going on sale too and the limit you can buy is 10 but if you take a friend with you , you can buy more. So check their fliers. Or what you should do is to go through each pattern book , take a picture of the pattern with the numbers using your cell and wait till they go on sale . I do that all the time .
