Fabric

What do you do when it’s -2 outside and you’re fashionista is bored beyond belief?  You head for Walmart and buy fabric.  The look on Mae’s face when she saw all the choices of fabric…lol. She says “Mommy, all the possibilities is overwhelming!”  So on that day we picked fabric.  She changed her mind . A LOT.  But she ended up with a few basics and splurged on a shiny pink one that was over $6 a yard.  So she decided to settle on half a yard.  She’s really doing well understanding the value of a dollar.  When you put it in terms of how much fabric you can buy with your allowance…it puts things in place pretty fast lol.  She hasn’t started her dresses yet.  She’s still trying to come up with the perfect idea before she makes the first cut.  While we were there I thought it was a good Idea to teach her how to search for a pattern in the drawers.  She caught on fast and was very pleased with how organized the Fabric girl kept the drawers for her to find the right one. I say this laughing because you never know what’s going to impress this girl!  Organized fabric patterns made her day.
