Joann’s sells stuff by the bolt. I don’t know about chambray. But I bet if you went to a store either JoAnns or even a local place and tell them you wanted to buy a bolt of chambray, they’d order it for you. At Joann’s if there is a weight you like that they already have, you could ask them to order a bolt of that particular one for you.

Thank you all for your support. Your kindness is always so touching. What if I told you that today the doctor called my mother and she needs bypass surgery, and btw, she has an auto immune disorder where she doesn’t quite clot?

If anyone needs me I will be on the couch after taking a valium. J/k about the valium.

Anyway, someone talk some…[Read more]

Amazon sometimes sells fabric by the bolt.

maybe fabric.com?

Thank you for the pattern tips! That is two new pattern companies you’ve introduced me to, which for someone with more ideas and enthusiasm than time is a very dangerous thing! I’ll have to tell my husband you made me buy something…

My niece is about to spend 2 weeks in plaster casts up to her knees (including her feet) on both legs! I thought it would be MUCH easier to get pants on and off if the sides opened up.
I was planning a significant hack of probably the field trips or sandbox and then the parachute pants are released with a perfect stripe down the side 🙂 Only…[Read more]

I finally got back to sewing tonight. I feel I haven’t sewn much in the last month or so. But tonight I cut out and pinned my first pair of parachute pants. Although I’m making them so that the stripe closes with velcro so I’ll see how they go.
