The Sewing Faire

The girls and I went to the CTA Sewing Faire today.

Annika wondered where all of the rides were. I told her it wasn't that kind of Fair. It also wasn't the casual browsing thru fabrics that I anticipated....more of a fabric fenzy - ladies lined up outside, waiting to be let in.

Fabric and patterns were $1 a pound. Notions were 25 cents a bag. I think I may have faired better if I weren't holding a baby and pushing stroller with BooBoo in it, but I still got some nice fabrics...and one that I loved!


And I bought this sewing machine for Annika for $15. It's a pretty green "Montgomery Ward". It's "portable" but probably heavier than Annika!


Children got $10 worth of product for free, which was basically all of their stuff. I don't even have any idea what was in their bags - it'll be a surprise!
