i don't recall ever seeing a windham charm pack of anything anywhere. the seller has almost certainly cut them herself.
windham makes some of the nicest fabrics on the market. unless you catch them on sale they're among the most expensive. the seller will have invested quite a bit of money in the fabrics for the charm pack. also, most charm packs have around 40 or so squares. i've seen them for well over $10 a pack. i agree that $16.95 calculates to a very high per-yard price. on the other hand, if you only need the wee bit of each that a charm pack provides, you'll save money in the long run. imagine the expense of buying just one fat quarter of each fabric. :shock: |
I know you are looking for charm packs, but you could buy yardage and cut your own if any of these fabrics work:

Hancocks of Paducah has the jelly rolls for $30 the charms and cakes and jelly rolls are expensive, because you usually get one of each fabric design in the line. i have only bought a couple of them over the years..i really,really had to have it! :roll: |

Hancocks-Paducah wants 24.98 for 24 "Jelly roll" strips or 29.98 for 30 of the same strips. Thats 99 cents for a 2.5 inch strip of fabric! Not any cheaper! |
What doesn't make sense to me is that she has the same price on Ebay and Etsy. Ebay takes a chunk in seller fees, actually 3 fees to be exact!! I've heard it's a lot cheaper to sell on Etsy.

As an aside: I work with a gal who sells on both eBay and Etsy. She gets lots more business from eBay, and views any sales coming from Etsy as "a bonus". |
If money and time were only free-flowing! lol! I may have to break down then - there's something about that particular line that just does it. Not even the one before it - which I've found a bit cheaper. Thanks for all of your input - it's nice hearing the voices of experience! :)
