The Duncanville Trip

First of all, thank you for the kind comments on my Sweetheart Cowl. I think I'm really going to enjoy and plan to make another with 3/4 sleeve for the fall.

I mentioned earlier that my ASG Neighborhood Group went to Pursley's in Duncanville, Texas. We generally make this shopping trip once/year as a group. It's about a 45-60 minute drive from our small town. I sometimes make the trip alone or with my bestest sewing buddy in between our yearly excursion.

Here's what I found for my one seam (Butterick knockoff (see earlier post) using my Louise Cutting pattern) capris. By the way, they are almost complete. I did hit one snag, but I'll explain when I show you photos when they are done.



The color (which isn't showing well on the monitor) is almost a denim blue. I bought all that was left - about 3+ yards. It is very wide so I have plenty of fabric for something else later on. I think this was $3.98/yd.

I also picked up some tulle type soft knits that I thought would work with some of the Marcy Tilton tee patterns. The first two: black tool with a small dot; the other is a lace with black, blues, and purples (sorry you can't see the colors here). The last one is a fuzzy stripe - black. I've washed/dried them all and they did great.




And lastly, I picked up these "jewels" that can be used on necklines. Three of them were priced at 3.98 each; and one was $4.98. Good price for sure! DGD will likely be the recipient of one or two of these on T-shirts. We'll see, but I just couldn't pass them up. Sorry the pics are blurry.




As a P.S., the horse pasture was baled this week:

    Very nice! I'm going to have to bother you soon and get a list of the great fabric shops over your way, since it seems all my old haunts are on the other side of the Metroplex (and many closed, too) from where I am now.

    Fantastic haul!
