wow that sounds like a great deal! sometimes you can come across some wonderful buys in that reduced bin (ours is l.99 a metre up here) ....can you post us a picture of the fabric...no wait...do the curtain, hang it and then post. You sure can't beat the price! Lucky you.

I think that's the only reason I go to Walmart - the $1.00 fabric. Mostly it's a waste of time, but sometimes it's like finding a treasure.

I have fond some treasures in the $1 section at Walmart. I could put myself in the poor house buying the $1 a yd stuff.

I recently found some drapery material with the black out material attached. I have seen it in motels on their drapery fabric. I always have to check out the construction of their window coverings. I did not get this to make drapes out of. I have some western windows upstairs that causes the area to really heat up in the afternoons. I am going to make a casing & put that, white side out, on tension rods for the summer months only. It will be behind blinds & the color won't be seen with the regular curtains. The difference in $1 & $7 for black out lining saves a lot.

A lot of you remember my 40 yds of woven interfacing last year. It has reduced tremendously by my daughter & I using it on purses.

I have found screening for tents that I plan to enclose a roof only sun shelter. I want it butted up to patio doors where there are no screens. I can open the door w/o bugs getting in & I can put zippers where they work better with the landscaping as it is used when exiting & entering from the yard. If the idea works well, I will know whether I want to invest in a more permanent solution & have an idea of the size I want.

We manage to find lots on the $1 or $2 table. My daughter has a often used answer when I asked what she paid for something. "I don't remember, but you know I didn't pay over $2 a yd for it."

I used to buy almost ALL my fabric at the $1 table. However, just over about a year ago, I think they changed manager for that dept. At least that's what the clerks tell me. I was complaining to them how I used to be able to find the greatest fabric. Wonderful cottons and great knits for pants and tunics. Now all they have is 'cotton' so thin you can see clear through it, absolutely cheap,cheap, cheap. Horrible fabric. Even the $2 table is not that great. The ladies tell me they used to sell TONS of fabric, and yet their dept was often overlooked by the higher-ups. If only Walmart knew what a goldmine they had in the fabric dept. too bad they didn't see that.

WOW, We're all savvy shoppers aren't we??
Joan i buy interfacing when Joann's has there's at 50 cents a yard,and i try to buy a whole bolt.If they won't sell me the whole thing,they'll usuall sell me at least 10 yds.I always have them wrap it back on the bolt board or one of the empty ones fabric came on.Easier to store that way and no wrinkles.Like you,i love a bargain.

Kathi. You missed the poat last year, I guess. I bought it unrolled thinking it was lightweight cotton I could make burp pads out of. Got home & realized I had 40 yards of interfacing. I got happier after I found it in Nancy's Notions catalog for $6.99 a yd for 22" wide. I had 40 yards that was 45" wide....80yds like hers!!! I paid $40 & got $560 worth of interfacing.

When I go to BUY interfacing or stabilizers, I hit Joann's sale too or use my 40 or 50% off coupons & get a whole bolt.

Joan,
Guess that was a post i missed last year.Must have been on vacation then.I've been coming here for 3 or 4 years now.Although i did stop checking the sewing forum for a while as it seemed so slow,like no one was sewing or posting.Got caught up in Garden Junk and Calif Gardening,and still frequent all those sites.But i spend most of my time at 123 stitch,cross stitch board,as i'm an avid cross stitcher as well.Think maybe we could somehow add more hours to our days without losing any sleep???LOL
