Let me begin by showing you a couple of fun pictures. These are some really old, but still working, sewing machines that I saw the last time I went to Mexico. I just now ran across the pictures so I decided to share them with you.
Both of these machines were still being used in a shoe repair shop. I was just fascinated to see them. I asked the shop keeper if I could take photographs. He smiled at me, waved broadly and went back to his customer. I think these were the best pictures I got on that trip.
Today, I was headed to a friend's house for some Christmas visiting when I almost passed by a fabric store. I swear my car changed lanes all by itself and pulled into the parking lot. What else could I do but go in and look?
Being a thrifty soul, I headed to the clearance fabrics. I limited myself to one yard of each, but I got these:
My total bill was ----are you sitting down??? - - - good....My total bill, including sales tax, was a whopping $11.82 -after I got home, I discovered that one of them was only ninety-nine cents a yard.
I should have bought more!
Merry Christmas to you all!

Score!! That averages to $1.69 per yard. (Sorry I'm a math teacher and couldn't help myself)
Yes, you should have bought more! ;-) I would have! Happy Christmas!
Yes...you SHOULD have bought more and I think you need to go back there....SOON!!! Looks like some nice prints you got! Wish I lived near a place that had such good clearance fabrics and prices! Oh...love those old machines, too!
The machines are just fabulous.
Love the fabrics....wow..you sure trained your car to smell out a good deal.

Love seeing the old machines.
And great job on the bargain fabrics! That's where I head too!
Two thumbs up to Gene for finding a fantastic sale!!!
What a bargain! I have some of that Martha Negley fabric too that I got on sale but not as good of a price as you got.
Merry Christmas!
good deal on the fabric! I like that soft yellow piece and I'm almost sure I have that black background in the right corner. Way to go!
