Another Sewing Update

You'll be so happy to know that this is my last post for today. I've had a productive day.

This afternoon, I ended up at G-Street in Falls Church. I bought some weft interfacing, hooks & bars, zippers for my future shorts/capris/pants, remaining cotton brocade print fabric that was left on a bolt (good thing I had my 25% off coupon), and two pieces of stretch cotton sateen printed fabric (scrollwork and butterflies). Everything I purchased was 30% off and the brocade was an additional 25% off.

I love the zippers that G-Street carries. They are YKK brand. They come in many colors and sizes. So, my 9" zippers ended up costing $0.77 each. Is that a bargain or what?

I was also able to get some sewing done. I am in the process of topstitching the waist band of my raspberry shorts. Then I need to add two hooks and eyes and hem.

I really need to do some more research on getting the perfect fit of my rear end. Now, I know what everyone goes through. I've already added a 1/2 inch to the crotch point and still not quite there. It's definitely better than my first pair. Back to my sewing books and research on PR.

But first, I need to finish topstitching my shorts before it's lights out at our house.

Going to the fabric store...I "think" I remember what that was like LOL. I haven't been to a place like JoAnn's since early March. Sounds like you had an enjoyable and productive trip.
