But not so with the other evening. Of course, Fabric Mart sent an email flyer for some discounted corduroy. Now, I love corduroy for the winter, and then looked a sweater knit to go with it. Then, silly me, I looked at their link for the $15 bundle. There was just one left. Oh my... So with trembling and quivering hands, as well as a mind that said, "Should I or Shouldn't I", I clicked on the button to add it to my cart. Then I was having buyer's remorse--"What on earth do I need more fabric for? Yes, I'm sewing but what I'm sewing isn't fast enough to take care of this bundle--should I receive it. But I won't worry about it because it was just one bundle left (they have to make more) and I probably won't get it." was the conversation in my head. 9:00 this morning and the package arrived---My oh my!!! Of course, the corduroy was beautiful, as well as the sweater knit. Although somewhat impulsive, those purchases weren't impulsive as the bundle. Then I spied it--wrapped in its plastic bag to show a "bundle" Click here Left to right: Silk, 1-5/8 Gabardine, 1-5/8 White cotton stretch twill, 1-1/2 x 60 Red cotton rib sweater knit, 1-5/8 x 60 Off white wool, 2 yd Plaid poly chiffon, 1-5/8 x 45 And all for $15. I am stunned. Although the fabrics are beautiful, I feel I must have just those I'm absolutely interested in. So take a look at the classifieds to see which ones I'm letting go. And in the meantime, I'm staying off the computer and sewing today. Edited for typos -- Edited on 2/23/12 10:46 AM -- ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature.

The one I bought I paid 12.99/yd for is listed for 4.19 (different colorway than I bought, but seriously)! And the other from 18.99 to 8.99. designer chevron lace navy coral feathers rayon knit ------ emadethis.wordpress.com Dare to do more. ~Natalie Dessay

And of course I can shop much faster than I can sew. :) I love FabricMart, but have not bought any so far this year. I keep compiling lists, though. :) ------ http://communingwithfabric.blogspot.com/

It wasn't what was posted, it was instead some woven silk at about $3.75/yd when all the discounts kicked in.
