But last week definitely was the week for me to get supplies. It seems like EVERYTHING I needed was on sale. So naturally I stocked up. I shouldn't have to buy anything for a while.
Wawak ran a special sale in which I was able to get snipper for $2 off so I only paid $0.98 each. That was a bargain. I also picked up some waxed thread for hand sewing (this stuff is super strong--not on sale but I needed it!!!!) and some cuff rulers of varying lengths for 50% off). I love having ruler handy for quick measuring.....and it will be easier to do client hem with the varying widths.
I managed to catch Jo-Ann's 70% off notions sale too and racked up on everything.....
I don't think I'll need needles for the next year. Heck, they were about $1.50/pk, regulary around $6. What a steal!
I've always wanted one of these bobbin holders (I have the cases but wanted this style) and it's even cooler that it has the magnetic pin holder. I can't believe this retailed at $20 (I wouldn't pay that) but with the 70% off sale I got it for $6.
And these guys were on my Christmas wish list last year. Come to think of it I've knocked 3 items off that list (these thermal thimbles, draping book and half scale form I recently got)!
Anyhow I'm stocked up. So I should have what I need to keep me productive for a while. Have you hit up any great supply sales lately????
Great score--umm, next time can you let a sista know about these sales ahead of time? :)!!
ReplyDeleteNice. I miss those sales. Anyway looking forward to hearing about your course.
ReplyDeleteWondered where you've been! How could I miss such a sale at Jo-Ann's - UGH! You got some great deals!
ReplyDeleteGreat haul!I missed the bobbin case, how clever, will keep an eye out for it.
ReplyDeleteI hit that Wawak sale and got tons of Maxi Lock serger thread, zippers, buttons and clear elastic. Oh yeah, I also got a cone thread holder.
ReplyDeleteI picked up a singer dress form for $100 this morning at Joanns!!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so envious. I need to stock up too but first I have to buy all kinds of things for my classroom - so I am hopin for a big sale in September, which my fabric store sometimes has. I do have a question though: what are "thermal thimbles"? Oh and thanks for the tip on waxed thread, I may just wonder over to the fabric store to pick up a few spools.
ReplyDeleteI was in JoAnns on the 28th but it was such a madhouse I just got some Simplicity patterns that were on my t0-get list. With all your client work I'm sure that stock pile will go to good use.

ReplyDeleteHow do you like the sewing classes? I have been thinking about trying one out. It is wonderful that you got all the things you needed on sale. It looks like you have a pile of treasure.
