Sometimes it's better to shop without a list or a plan. I usually have a list of what I need, how much, where to get it, cost, coupons if possible and a time limit. You know what I mean, I need this fabric for this pattern x yards, buttons and matching thread. I tend to shop the fabric store after my Tuesday morning sewing group. Its convenience and now I am reducing my trips even more than before. The cost of gasoline is cramping my sewing! So last Tuesday I just roamed and browsed. No plan. I took time to look at products and fabrics I zipped past on prior trips. I looked at new notions for quilting and garment sewing. I looked at some new patterns, a brand I don't usually buy. So here are the results.

| sort of a 60's look, a "shift," pants with tunic top and jumper |
 |
| polka dot grosgrain ribbon |
 |
| glue sticks for landscape quilting |
 |
| almost finished quilt, we'll talk about this one soon |

I haven't used many New Look patterns, don't know why. I found some really nice ideas there. I need to amp up the summer wardrobe but I don't need to be fussing with high design here. I want lightweight fabrics and easy care. It's summer, soon. The fabric was a real surprise. It is 100% cotton, very pale creamy yellow. I plant to use this for my Armistice blouse. Originally I was looking for dotted swiss, but this won out. I need lots more time that I know for sure.
