I'm cheap and always wait for these sales to buy my patterns. I noticed someone mentioned a 99 cent sale at Hancocks in another thread, so I thought I'd post this for anyone who doesn't get the flyers... At JoAnn's, Butterick and McCalls patterns are on sale for 99 cents September 16-18. And Simplicity patterns are on sale for 99 cents on September 25. Yes, I plan my shopping around this! Between the pattern sales and the clearance fabric, I actually do save tons of money sewing rather than buying!

I"LL BE THERE!!!!!, I've got to get my outfit made for the wedding next year!!! I know it was on one of the other threads, someone was looking for College Themed material. Got a flyer today, on e-mail, that Hancock Fabrics is sellling some. Check them out in your area for the closest store and see if they carry what you are looing for.

My mom and grandma have a list of about 20 patterns I'd like...mostly medieval and renaissance garb...and are heading to JoAnn's for me tomorrow, since they're only 10 minutes away from one, and I'm 2 hours or so. Thankfully they are both willing to shop on my behalf YAY!!!

I buy all of my patterns on sale at Jo-Ann's 99 cent sales, also. There are a few Kwik Sew patterns I am very interested in, but their price always keeps me from purchasing them. Does Hancocks ever discount them? I have never even seen them at Jo-Ann's so I assume they do not carry them. |

I've shopped at Hancock's for a long time , and I have never seen them put Kwik-sew patterns on sale.. Nor any other store for that matter.. I attended a seminar by Shirley Adams years ago, and she gave each of us a Kwik-Sew T-shirt pattern at that seminar.. I am still using it, and I have made more than a hundred shirts I know, from that pattern.. I just trace each size as i need it.. The one I use for me is customized for my short stature. (short , broad stature, that is) I'll never have to buy another pattern like that, so it is well worth the cost. (even tho mine was free, I checked on what the price would have been).. That was my first Kwik-Sew pattern, but not my last..

I would absolutely kill for a .99 pattern. You would never find one this end of the country.

I have learned to keep a list of pattern numbers that I want. There's no getting to the pattern books when Hancock's has patterns on sale.  I just hate it that they usually have a 5 pattern limit. Sometimes I take my daughter with me so she can go through the line and get the ones she wants. I wonder...... do Hancock's and Joann's sell patterns on their websites? I've never thought to check.... |

While everyone is grabbing the .99 patterns, get one for a lined vest. The lessons will soon be starting for this.
