My Sewing Project

It's been a long time for me sitting down to my sewing machine, and making a garment as simply and easily as it really is. Too often these days, I'll run out to Sears, Macy's or JCPenneys to acquire clothing at the expense of my credit card. And while the gas prices rise, causing me to spend much of my expendable cash on gas, I don't have the money anymore to continue to pay high interest rate credit cards. So clothing, which is more like something I love to purchase, is going to once again become, my way of staying current in clothing with the most beautiful colors of my own choice.

Before I can begin anything, I have to organize my tools. Tools of the trade for sewing include a tape measure, pin cushion with pins, pencil and paper, stitch picker and good lighting just to start. Scissors, and when you get into scissors it gets very personal. I like the smallest fiskar scissors for snipping the threads once I have stitched a seam on the sewing machine and serger. And my cutting scissors are a pair that I have maintained for more than 12 years. It's important to keep scissors for sewing projects out of the hands of members of your family, because they tend to use them on paper, which makes them dull. (I Hate Dull Scissors). In addition to the tools aforemented, without fabric you don't have a project, and that's where Fabrics.com comes in. Recently, I purchase a beautiful piece of baby rib knit in yellow from Fabrics.com, and I am completely happy with my purchase. The price was very reasonable, the color likeness was very good on my monitor and appears just as I expected when I received it, and the care with which it was mailed to me was completely secure and cost efficient. I appreciate that because walking into a fabric store physically can lead me to purchasing fabrics that I neither want nor need, just because they have so much in front of me. Well, with Fabrics.com, I went exactly where I wanted to get exactly what I was looking for, and kept the cost down because of it.

I would recommend shopping Fabrics.com to anyone else looking for quality with ease of online shopping. Fabrics.com makes it easy, and they offer near to free shipping for the 1st order. You can't beat it. So, if you're a seamstress and trying to get the best purchase check out Fabrics.com.
