Sewing mamas!Calling all AmityMama's who like to sew! Do you make quilts, clothes, diapers, bags? Do you love to run your fingers through fiber? Can't get enough just sewing, but want to talk about it too? Come on in!
I got a fabric bowl pattern on sale for 99 cents yesterday because I just love all of the cute bowls that have been sns'd. Asked about Timetex at hancocks and I just got a blank stare from two gals. So where do I get it, how much does it run and is there something else I can use instead that I can buy locally??? How's that for a run on question...lol.

There are several "no-name" brands of Timtex out there that I use successfully. I found some at an outdoor fabric store for $5 per yard for 60" wide stuff. And I had a coupon....it was a good deal Start checking for stuff for hat brims.
I have tried Peltex and it is similar but definitely not the same. It might work for the fabric bowl...haven't tried that. Try it and see! The only way I save money on Timtex is buying it by the bolt at a wholesale price.
Beverly's carries it & you can use a 40% off JoAnn's coupon there. (Do you have a Beverly's near you? I wouldn't have suggested it if you weren't in CA.)

Pelltex is less fluffy than timtex, but they DO have it for $5.99 for I think a 36" wide yard. So, if you use the coupon, it can be ok AND, interfacing is half off through tomorrow get thee to Joann's, woman!

Thank you ladies so much for sharing info. I think I am gonna try to sneak away to JoAnnes later and check and see if they have any first.
Fullmoonmama~ If they dont have any I would love to buy some from you. I really was just gonna get a couple of yards to try it first. So if you could part with some if Joannes doesn't have anything I would be eternally grateful.
Mamaselena~ You look gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing. Just beautiful. I really like that dress on you too.
fw221~ No Beverely's up here. We used to live by one and I really like that fabric store too.
Hopefully you all will see a sns from me too. Planning a bowl out of bettyboop for GMIL as a xmas present. Determined not to be staying up all ours of the night sewing this year for xmas. We'll see. I always say this every year. Actually last year I said that is it, not sewing for xmas but boy it so much cheaper and just more personal than buying something.
