Cute stuff, huh? By the way, the baby pattern isn't for me; my best friend is due in early April and I would love to make something(s) for the baby.
Then we went to the Scrap Exchange. If you live in the Durham area and don't know about the Scrap Exchange, you are missing out. It is a treasure trove for anyone into crafting or creating or just anything. You never know what you are going to find there and everything there is not reasonably priced, it's dirt cheap. Please click on the link to find out more about them and their mission. It is very cool stuff. Anyway, while there, I found more fabric and random sewing items that I'm pretty sure I will need (and it's so inexpensive, why not get it now?).
So, I found 3 patterns for $0.20 each (did you just read that? TWENTY CENTS!!). There's only 1 or 2 items in each pattern I am interested in, but for that price I am buying it. I purchased 2 rolls of fabric for $1.60 and $3.20. The white and pink-striped fabric is destined to be a hanging organizer (refer to the first picture, to the pattern in the upper left corner; you can see the organizer in the top right of that picture). The darker fabric (it's actually navy) is going to be used for the right-most pattern directly above these words...yes, the baby patterns. The bottom right picture on that pattern is listed as a "wall organizer". Well, as my lovely significant other pointed out, put extra fabric onto it and it becomes a bedside organizer that I have been wanting for awhile now. Tada!
Other things I purchased were random snaps and closures, a little box to hold some of these notions, and the other fabric (which was actually considered "scraps" and was less than $1 each). I'm not sure what the scraps will become but many of these patterns have cute little pouches and organizers that will probably be perfect for them.
