Fabric Shopping for October

October 14, 2016 in Sewing

I've been struggling with this fabric order for DAYS because there are just too many cute fabrics and not enough monies in my bank account.... But this morning I finally decided to cut a print because I didn't LOVE it, and impulse-add a second print from my "buy later" list. Then the subtotal magically came to $222, and all of the fabrics looked perfect in the cart together. So I hit "checkout" immediately. Not sure what's so amazing about those 3 2's all next to each other, but it worked.....
