WOW what a bargain ( Long)
 
I went into my local fabric shop (only 100 klms away LOL) to buy some insulbright and their seconds bin was over flowing. Well I can't resist a bargain so I went thru it to see what they had it was all $2.00 a metre CHEAP here in Australia. they had dress fabrics, curtain fabrics,quilting fabrics and fleece, so I dived in LOL, grabbed an armful so they brought me a trolley LOL and I filled it to over flowing went to the checkout and the lady whispered to the manager then said to me I am not going to measure it all so how does $20.00 sound, great said I, can I go back and get some more so of I went again and grabbed another armful, I nearly forgot to get the insulbright I was so happy, well they shoved it all into 2 huge bags and the whole lot cost me $37.00 you should have seen me trying to carry the 2 bags to the car I was almost doubled over with the wieght of it all, I am still trying to sort it all out, some of the fabrics are silk and I am going to make scarves out of it, I also have enough to make myself several new outfits, and some quilts,

Sounds wonderful!!! Wish I'd luck up on something like that.. Have no idea where in the world I'd put it, but it is ALWAYS fun to get new fabric!

Every once in awhile I find my self doing the Happy Dance when I find a bin with great material at the Goodwill pound store and fill my grocery shopping basket till it runs over. For those who want to know what a Goodwill pound store is, everything they sell is by the pound...Forget the going rate for the material but its a steal..LOL So I know you were SOOOOO excited with your price and find.

Sewfine 04-25-2012 07:04 AM

Wow! that is so awesome.

grandme26 04-25-2012 09:26 AM
