Part 1 of my Joann's Shopping Trip ---Simplicity Pattern Haul and More

*Pattern haul*
Part 1

Joann Fabric Shopping Trip

Working so much during the week I try to get to Joann's on a Friday or on a Saturday because that is normally the last day of a SALE! In the last three weeks they have had pattern sales going on so I have been trying to grab some here and there while the sale is running. Since I want to get into more garment sewing I want to stock up!

This week the Simplicity Patterns were on Sale for $1.00!! Now we all know that these patterns can run from $7.00 to $20.00 so to get it that cheap is more than a steal. The sale does exclude a few brands under the Simplicity name like New Look (they are $3 anyway), Burda, It's Sew Easy, and Sew Simple. The limit is 10 person, but I manage to get around that...... SHHHH!!!! I did get a few others that were on sale as well just not for $1.00

I believe there is one more McCall's pattern missing. It might be under a pile of fabric or something. I'm not really a McCall pattern girl, but I have that sometimes you have to look beyond the pattern picture. McCall's was on sale last week at Joann's 5 for $7.00.

This weeks Sale ends TODAY!!

In Part 2, I will show you my fabric haul!!

Until Next Time ✌

DIY -- Hello Kitty Scrub Top -- OOTD

DIY - Hello Kitty Scrub Top What I Wore Today Fabric from Joann Fabrics I'm not sure if you can buy this particular print online, but I did see it in a few of their retail stores. I used Wrights Extra Wide Double Fold Bias Tape accent the pockets and around the top. If you haven't read my About Me page yet, I state that I work full-time in the medical field. I don't have to wear scrubs all the time, but when I want to be comfortable it's my go to option!! I was tired of seeing the same scrub tops I was wearing that day on other co-workers in the hospital and smiling at each other because we didn't know what else to say. I felt like I was in People Magazine on the "Who Wore It Better" page. So I decided to start making my own tops!! This is the 2nd scrub top that I have ever made. The first one I made ended up being a complete bust (My Failure) and I never took a pic of it. I definitely learned for my mistakes (My Triumph) and

Scrub - A - Dub Sunday!! DIY - Scrub Tops

DIY - Scrub Sunday!! I buckled down and add four more scrub tops to my work wardrobe. I did this really for two reasons. 1) I like how easy and fast it is for me at this moment, very calming and non-stressful sewing! 2) I enjoy the compliments I get from my co-worker for having original scrub tops! If you have not read my Fabric Haul 2 post, please check it out. There you will find a description of all the fabric I used for these scrub tops. Fabric Haul 2 My son decided that he wanted to draw all over my pocket template. To learn more about the Ideal Seam Guide that I use while sewing, check out my Tool I Can't Live Without Post It seemed easier for me to just cut all the fabric out and just sew everything at once. The only thing that was time consuming on these scrubs was changing the thread to match the color of the bias tape being used. The finished products!! So happy!! Can't wait to wear

DIY -- Teal and Gray Circle Scrub Top -- OOTD

DIY - Teal and Gray Circle Scrub Top What I Wore Today This fabric was purchased at my local Joann Fabrics . It is part of there Easy Care and Wash Collection its called Circle and Lines . It is 40% Polyester and 60% Cotton. I used Wrights Extra Wide Double Fold Bias Tape and matching thread. So I will be honest.....since I started sewing I have been OBSESSED with making scrub tops for myself. The reason being its 50% easy to make, and 50% fun to pick out what materials and designs that you like. I buy 2 yards of fabric for everything I do. Because if I mess up I have more. I want the scraps for another project down the road. I'm thinking maybe I should make my own scrub line. Happy Good Friday!! Until Next Time ✌ Stephanie
