Got my first mystery bundle happy with what I got

I got it really quickly. There's a nice black knit, a nice teal and black striped knit, a rather sheer black with tiny white polka dot some kind of polyester, I think, a funky big print that I would never use and a navy polyester type fabric that to me is more of a lining. Overall, for the money I'm pretty pleased with what I got.

I'll try to remember to report as well. (Teal and black would be perfect for me....) ------ Jeanne "Let me live in a world of image and I will never complain." --Louise Bourgeois

I got MY first mystery bundle today. Before ordering it, I spent a lot of time combing through threads about them wondering if I'd be happy with it. Fabric Mart put them half off- so I got 2 10 yard bundles for $15. I am VERY happy with what I got. A single piece of the quilting cotton they sent me (and I'm a quilter) would cost that retail... I detailed (well, sort of a lot of it is unknown) what I got here. A few of the wool cuts are too small to use, one of the fabrics is awful, the bright yellow WAY too bright, but mostly, this is good stuff. I also got the $15 twenty-five invisible zipper bundle, they sent me 27! -- Edited on 2/9/12 8:03 PM --

Something for a child, a costume, the lining of something. It will have its use.

Skittl1321 Advanced Beginner IA USA Member since 2007 Posts: 638	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 2/9/12 8:25 PM The fabric cuts are all between 0.5 and 1.5 yards. For me, this is enough for almost all tops, and some skirts. There are some of the cuts I won't be able to find a use for - half a yard of wool for example, but then half a yard of a stretch knit can be a shirt. My bundles were half price- $7.50 for 10 yards, so even being able to use one piece of fabric would make it worth it. At $15 for 10 yards, it is a bit pricier than I'm willing to gamble on. But if you buy $75 a lot of time (like now) they run a free mystery bundle special.

They used to have a bundle with minumum 1 yard peices and up to three I liked that one at least I can make something out of everything they send.
