They are constantly running sales, which is why I only paid $2 for the pattern. While I don't have one local to me, Hancock Fabrics is a similar store and runs similar pattern sales. <br /><br />The only downside to both shops is the patterns are only sold in actual store, not online. Good luck!amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12029076436322883513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656529617356301357.post-2223609093173027872011-07-05T06:58:15.312-07:002011-07-05T06:58:15.312-07:00Just found your blog as I'm hoping to make the...Just found your blog as I'm hoping to make the McCall's 3830 soon.

I don't think I've ever found a skirt that fits perfectly, so I'm totally jealous that you can make one specific to your body. <br /><br />Also, this is random, but if you want to get rid of catalogues that you don't read, go to cataloguechoice.org.
