Annie jumped the gun at the beginning of the week, with 25% off Sale fabric over at The Village Haberdashery; so I snapped up a few stash FQs, which will help those frustrating Bee-moments when nothing seems to work, and I also loaded up with some bolt ends of voile; I feel a pre-Christmas scarf making session coming on...
Last night Ali was offering 20% off orders at her Very Berry Fabrics Folksy shop, so a Maxi Bag of Liberty Scraps is heading my way; and then today more voile from Saints and Pinners and a bit of Sketch from Justine at Simply Solids. All things I needed, obviously. I'll be sure to show you when they come.
I deliberately kept my shopping within the UK, as on balance, the discount prices, along with minimal postage and quick delivery, definitely outweighed the slightly cheaper fabric plus postal price; but the potential for falling foul of extended Christmas scrutiny and a nice Customs and handling charge is not something I want in the equation. Ho Ho Ho.
So I am done. Do not let me buy any more fabric this year; I really don't need it!
I succumbed too! I can't believe people were going crazy for £99 tvs, people leave them outside here all the time so they could've got one free!!
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss the VH sale?! I think you must have bought everything first! ;-) I have bought fabric at Cindy's shop. Not sure how that happened only went in for Aurifil. And may go do some more shopping seeing as I'm having a big sort/clear out!
ReplyDeleteYou have to dip your toe into the sales a little. It is absolutely necessary really.
ReplyDeleteI missed the VH sale, too! Poop. On reflection, it's maybe just as well! I did succumb at M is for Make, today. All in the name of helping the economy you understand.
ReplyDeleteI'm not looking, and then I can't be tempted, I do not need any more fabric (until Hello Petal comes out from Aneela!!!). Well done Mrs, very restrained :o)
ReplyDeleteI may or may not have gone over the water... I didn't punch anyone for a TV though ;o)
ReplyDeleteLovely purchases, I am still trying to resist the sales, as I am totally good for this year too.
ReplyDeleteI succumbed to the VH sale too, never thought of the Voile though :(
ReplyDeleteI went and bought yardage for dress making and stuff from FQS... then I realised I'd already hoarded A MASSIVE bit already lol
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I succumbed too, but only bought fabric I needed, of course! Xx
ReplyDeleteCanny but essential buys! Di x
ReplyDeleteHow can you say you don't need fabric?????
