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.

G-Street Fabrics - 30% Sale

How could I forget to mention that G-Street is having a sale. Yes, they are having a 30% off most things sale. This sale runs through July 13th. Last weekend I was on the hunt for some stretch sateen and stretch denim fabric to make capris. I found what I was looking for...amazing. The fabrics are medium weight and I have already pre-washed them.

They are also having a 25% off one sale item coupon. You can find the coupon at their G-Street website.

Their online store is also offering the 30% off sale. Here's their G-Street Online site.

Next on my list of things to get is more lightweight weft interfacing, hooks & bars, 9" zippers (for the many more shorts/capris I will be sewing), Mettlers Metrosene threads, etc.

(Warning! I'm in a chatty mood this morning...be warned)

G-Street Fabrics...I'm in shock!

I took a trip down to Potomac Mills Mall (Woodbridge, VA) and was shocked to see no G-Street Fabric store. I was so looking forward to buying some nice fabric. I went into a neighboring store and was told they closed the fabric store 2 weeks ago. I'm still in shock at the news.

Luckily, they still have their Centreville store. Looks like I'll be heading to that store to take advantage of their sale.

I know this store closing is a sign of the times. I guess it's really a good reason to have huge fabric stash.

Update: I did a search and found that G-Street Fabrics (PM) actually closed around the end of April. *Sigh*

G-Street Fabrics Online

Yes, that is correct. They have started an online store. Here is the link to G-Street Fabrics.

Now, I know it is not the same as going there in person and doing the "touchy and feeling" on every fabric. Atleast it is another online fabric resource.

Enjoy!
