Joann's patterns sale
I want to share this with you because it was so easy. When I got the flyer from Joann's fabric and saw they were having Simplicity patterns 5 for Five Dollars, I live 120 miles round trip from there so. I went on my computer and went into The pattern Co wed site and looked up patterns and wrote them down. When I went there to shop I just go to the patterns and get the ones I want out of the draw. There was only one on my list that was all gone. Saves so much time to look at and go elsewhere for shopping. I bought the flannel for my blouse and then the next time I went, I got my pattern. Those patterns are 16.95 and up now.

What a great idea! Thank you for sharing it!

Wow, what a terrific idea. Thank you! Sometimes I love the comradery at the pattern table but ever since the moved it up by the cutting table at my store, it's just too busy. I'll definitely use this next time.

I will be doing that from now on as well. What a great idea:)

i remember when i was a teen, i wouldn't buy a pattern if it was more than a dollar.
Have you seen the price of vogue patterns. some of them are up to $27!!!!! My cloths patterns are so old, i just update them with a collar or cuff. but mostly buy my cloths now. to pricy to make them anymore. isn't that sad? |

I do that too! So much easier to shop at home. Some patterns are almost the same, so you can take the time to compare the difference. When at the store, I would have to wait to use the book for the pattern company that was on sale. Also, kids sit at the tables and it is hard sometimes to concentrate. (Don't get me wrong, I like kids.) And I usually take one day a week to run errands, so I want to get in and out quickly to get the rest of the errands run. So glad they have them online!

I am amazed at the price of patterns. I usually hit the sales when I need something. The only good thing is that now they have several sizes in each envelope. I used to sew my girls clothing and dresses when they were small. I have 3 and they are 17 months apart. I liked to dress them alike and got lots of compliments. Gone are the days that sewing saved money and I had many patterns in 3 sizes all alike. Even then it was a money saver. History lesson over for today. lol

Thanks for the info. It is so disappointing to spend time looking through the books and then find that they don't
have the pattern. This is a great way to save time and trauma. |
