patterns...where do you buy them?

I am specifically looking for kitchen textiles. I found some super cool vintage print fabric and have now decided I must make some things for my kitchen. Being that I am a beginning sewer for the most part, I feel that I need a pattern.

Just wondering if there is someplace online that is better than others for pattern shopping. With 4 kids, shopping online is easier than finding time to get to the local fabric stores by myself.

I go on weekends or in the evenings when DH can stay with the kids. 99c patterns are far too worthwhile to shop online

Well, that is true. LOL I am just totally impatient! I did pick up a pattern the other night at Wal-Mart. I have a Hancock's coupon sitting here on my desk, maybe I should try getting over there tonight or tomorrow.

Every once in a while all the fabric stores (that I go to) have discontinued pattern sales, they are not bad patterns, just ones getting revised or going out of print, they are generally %50-%75 off, when I feel I need a pattern, I try to find things in there that I might need.
