I just bought a half price Vogue pattern here and it was still A$12 (about US$10). They're usually A$25 and upwards! Which is why I don't have many in my pattern collection. McCalls often has a three for the price of one sale, making them around $A6 each. What an astounding difference. We're such a small population we don't appear to have any buying power. Even our fabrics are expensive - and we often get what is left over after they've been sold to the US and European markets. Such is life!thornberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503174766017894067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-51115762657521965832009-07-17T21:58:56.632-04:002009-07-17T21:58:56.632-04:00I will look into this, but first I wanted to thank...I will look into this, but first I wanted to thank you for mentioning Atlanta Thread and Supply. I ordered their "50 color pack" (hey, hubby told me to get plenty of colors, so I had to, right?) on Wednesday, and it got to me today!

I got the e-mail this morning and deleted it because I just saw McCalls, Butterick. Had I opened it, I would have seen Vogue. Well, I'm quite a bit poorer (I'm such a pattern piggie) but it was worth it for those fabulous fall patterns! I should probably read by BMV e-mails instead of just glancing at them LOL.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834088646321136916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-48166633741966155542009-07-17T18:20:40.607-04:002009-07-17T18:20:40.607-04:00I went to Hancocks today for the $3.99 sale and th...I went to Hancocks today for the $3.99 sale and they have NONE OF THE NEW FALL PATTERNS....arrgghh.

In the past I've bought things on a whim because of the price and then later down the track they've turned out to be the perfect pattern for a new piece of fabric!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274649006496918800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-8306560535063451512009-07-17T13:35:05.270-04:002009-07-17T13:35:05.270-04:00I filled my cart last night and hit the buy button...I filled my cart last night and hit the buy button this morning!Gorgeous Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105281854898289918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-88391035537898348012009-07-17T13:07:05.521-04:002009-07-17T13:07:05.521-04:00I live within 20 miles of three "…the craft s...I live within 20 miles of three "…the craft store that masquerades as a fabric store…" (LOVE that) but I've found it is so much easier to order directly from Vogue when they have these wonderful sales.

But if I go there to get them I'll spend alot more than I would save on stuff I don't need. I find I do better to stay away from the stores to control impulse buying.BConkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12567728669689070443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-41348699723308160082009-07-17T10:29:39.719-04:002009-07-17T10:29:39.719-04:00Thanks for the tip.

I'm all over it -- considering that I pretty much want the entire fall lineup (yes, I'm a piggie) and the "other place" has a limit of 10 and, without fail, never has the size I want when I want it, I'll go take care of this today.
