Branching out

So yesterday I got home from vacation and in my mail was the new Joann's Ad, I didn't have anything in particular that I needed, so I thought, well perhaps I can pick up some remnants with the 10% off your entire purchase.
So I went to town today to run some errands and I stopped by Joann fabrics.
and well... they were having a 50% off red tag fabric sale and 99 cent patterns.
so I decided what time is better than now to branch out and try to sew some clothes for super cheap. (cause i've only sewn one dress before,without a pattern, and well it fit ok, but I messed up the darts, thankfully it was just for halloween, so it was ok)
so I bought this pattern for 99 cents... usually $15!!!!  (I think I will make two dresses)


and I bought this fabric and buttons to make them with...


I got this fabric for 1.35 a yard!

I got this fabric for .90 cents a yard!!!
and of course I will finish the 5 remaining quilts first...
