Poly/Rayon fabric at Joann Fabrics

[Friday]

I was walking through Joann Fabrics at lunch today. As I was looking around I notice 8-10 bolts for plaid material. What I saw caught my eye, but I figured it was just some of their cotton flannel. My surprise when I looked at the end of the bolt was that it was a polyester rayon blend. I understand the rayon is call viscus(sp) in the UK. I also found a coupon for 40% off. At $7.99 a yard original cost, I walked out with what I consider a nice looking fashion tartan for $3.30 a yard. I got all 7.75 yards and now have to plan how to pleat the tartan for a kilt.

Did the same myself today. Got a black and blue houndstooth for a tank attempt and a ivy cap (if I ever get a pattern)

I did the same yesterday at JoAnns. I even posted the picture of the tartan for help with ID. One of them is very similar to Stewart Grey. Did you find that these some of these polyviscose are too lightweight? Hmmmm. we'll see. Let me know how yours turns out.

Some were light, the material I got was a medium weight similar to some material I have already used and liked. It will be a while before I make it into a kilt, I have too many things in the fire at this point.

I was thinking about a reverse Kingussie, but I have to think about this.

[Pleater]

For the perfect reverse Kinguisse kilt the pattern should be reversible - so if the left side has stripes (for instance) of red blue white, you can make the right side stripes run white blue red, so that if you pleat to the red, then the blue is behind it and the white shows when the pleat is opened up.

Don't worry if you can't make the pattern work that way - it is just a thought for the perfect RevK kilt.

They usually have a little flyer in the Sunday paper with the coupon in it. Usually when I've been at one of their stores, they have a pile of the flyers on hand and are happy to let you have the coupons. Alternatively, you might check their website to see if they have a downloadable coupon.

When you're in-store, sign up for their mailing list (usually at the cash register/check-out counter). They'll send 'em right to you, usually better coupons (longer expiration dates) than you get in paper or online.
