Fabric Shopping Haul

Joanns is having a big sale this week (Firefly Frenzy, go shop!) so a friend and I went to get a few things.

Fabric wise, I picked up:

• a really pretty teal printed calico remnant, which will likely become a corset
• a black gauze remnant for some shorts
• 1/4 yard of an orange sparkly fabric for the femme Joker tie
• a little over a yard of a lime green printed cotton for the femme Joker blouse (I have some interesting plans for this item...)
• one yard of a red knit for some shorts. I'm gonna double it cuz the fabric's rather sheer
• half a yard of an awesome pink and black large houndstooth knit for a pair of shorts
• three yards of a blue striped linen / rayon suiting that I'm going to dye purple for my femme Joker suit
• a yard each of two different flannels to make a bunting for my nephew

Except for the flannels which were on sale for half off, and the remnants, all the other fabrics I purchased were from the red tag clearance and were half off their clearance price.

Non fabric wise, I got:

• snaps for the Paris Steampunk bodice
• a bunch of scrapbooking paper, some prints and some solids, all of which were on sale or on clearance (I'm tired of what I have for my AAR scrapbook and wanted new pretties to play with)
• a purple sparkly pendant that was on clearance. I plan to wear it as a brooch w my femme Joker costume
• two packages of I Dye in violet for the femme Joker, on clearance
• three Simplicity patterns, the newest steampunk offering because I like the bustle it offers, a baby pattern so I can sew a bunting for my nephew, and a little sleep shorts pattern so I have something to wear around the house and maybe even outside this summer
• orange buttons for the femme Joker blouse
