I accidentally bought these fabrics today! I was at this neat shop (that sillygoose once mentioned!) - it's a woman who was probably once like us and now she sells machines (janome and brother), fabric, has an embroidery business, and notions. For her higher-end machine buyers, she has a club and they have sleepovers and they do new things and sew sew sew. Looks fun!

Anyways, I couldn't help but pick up some fabrics but then driving home I felt guilty as I don't need them! So the only thing I'm keeping is the YUMMY cotton lycra french terry. Yum.

Anyways, these are all a little bit less than I paid for them so hopefully they'll sell! All 5.00 a yard

Green waffle sweater knit - 100% cotton - 2.5 yds (I can cut)- this stuff is different than waffle knit in that it has 2 different sides. One side looks like an interlock or ribknit, the other side is a waffle texture. Really neat. THinner than french terry - would make really nice shirts or pants.

Yellow duckies - tiny little duckies on this lightweight interlock knit - really cute - 1.5yds

Tools pique knit - this isn't washed yet and it isn't too soft but I imagine it will soften up in the wash. Got it from crosseyed toad... 1yd

Spring flowers knit - LOVE this one but I already had a piece from crosseyed toad LOL. But I loved how it washed up so I bought it when I was at the store... but don't need it. 1.5yds

Post to the list with interest. Please buy the piece except for the green which I can cut.

THanks!

I think crosseyedtoad (Jennifer) has some of this knit left. I could be wrong though.

Hmm if it's in her album I've missed it. I went through them one by one the other day, as we're trading (again LOL). Off to look though...
Thanks!

BTW - it was an hour away and there wasn't much else I'd be interested in (especially since I shouldn't have been buying fabric in the first place!). But if I go again, I can definitely buy up more :)

Alison! You went there and you didn't tell me. I could have met you there. LOL
So, that's all you got, huh? I'm sorry you didn't find more you liked.

Did you meet Kari? She's so nice.

I have some sage lycra french terry from there and I can't cut into it, it's soooo yummy.

oh yeah! maybe next time you go you can pick some of that up for them. I should have looked harder... I would love some in sage!!!! That stuff rocks :)

It all happened spur of the moment today. I'd LOVE to meet you soon!

oh and colleen - I didn't have any idea this was the shop you were talking about (I had forgotten the details) - I went there thinking it was only a sewing machine shop! How cool that she's all into garment-making and embroidery too!

I think there probably was more I'd like but the kids were going bonkers after having test-driven 2 machines. Ruby was having a fit and I had to stop :)

That fabric looks yummy!! But I am on a (self-imposed) buying restriction until I sew up many yards of what I already have. I had to LOL at your title "OOPS! I bought fabric" Cracked me up, but I can totally see how it could happen.

Oh my, aren't you the sweetest? Are you sure? :D Because I would love to have it. :)

And of course if sillygoose wants to go back and buy for me, I wouldn't be opposed to that at all. :lol:

I'm sure :) I have a tiny bit left that I could make a baby shirt out of. Caity already has a t-shirt out of it so it's all yours!
