Joann Fabric is having a sale

joann fabric

From November 21-25, Joann Fabric and Craft Storc is currently having a sale on just about everything. If at any point in your life you feel like you should take up sewing, crafting, or scrap booking, head on down to Joann’s and enjoy the savings!!

Yesterday my mum and I headed to the store to pick up some knick-knacks and doo-dads and we saw that patterns were on sale. On sale people!!! “Now why is this a big deal?” you ask. Well, if you haven’t bought patterns before, you might not know that those mighty pieces of paper can cost US$30 a pop or more. I was able to snag some great costume patterns for U$1.99-3.99. Needless to say I went hog-wild and bought 10 patterns because someday I might “need” to make a Victorian gown, or gloves, or vintage hats. Super cool bonus fact: there are Vintage Vogue patterns there as well!!

So go, find patterns, beautiful buttons, tremendous trims, and fantastic fabric, and have a wonderful end of November!! Click here to find the closest store near you.
