Joann Fabrics Shopping Trip

If you haven't read Part 1 of my Joann Fabrics shopping trip, please do!! I had so much fun in the store last week. I had a whole shopping list of what I was looking for and I normally don't. I like to walk in and let inspiration flow, but I was on a mission that day!!

All the fabric I bought was cut for 2 yards. I always but 2 yards. One, to be on the safe side if I need more. Two, so I have scraps to make my memory quilt later on down the line.

The white cotton material at the top was bought to make a pair of white leggings. I made a pair of black ones using a Leggings YouTube Tutorial from The Crafty Gemini and I was instantly fascinated with how fast and easy it was to make my first pair of leggings.

So...because I wanted to make a few more COMFORTABLE scrub tops for work I decided to stick with the Joann's Easy Care and Wash Fabric. I also bought the fabric when it was on sale. It normally runs for $12.99 a yard, but I bought it on sale for $7.79 a yard. I also always get matching Bias Tape and thread.

Easy Wash & Care Fabric - Paprmch Geo Blue & Black

Easy Wash & Care Fabric - Lady Bug and Dot Black & Red

Easy Wash & Care Fabric - Line Cubes Gray & Peach Circle Green

Easy Wash & Care Fabric - Lola Floral Pink and Gray

I didn't realize that my pics have a shadow of me standing in front. I hope the links to the website do a little better justice!!

I bought 2 yards of a specialty cotton eyelet fabric with a lavender lining to make me a little summer dress and 2 yards. Joann's did not have the eyelet material I bought listed online to give you a closer view. I also bought 2 yards of Chicago Bulls fleece to make my daughter a pair of pajama bottoms.

Overall, my shopping trip went well and I saved well over $400 if you add in the patterns bought in Part 1 for $1.00

Pictures of all the tops I made will be posted soon.

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
