Have you been to your Wal Mart fabric department lately?  Does it show signs of being closed - even though there are no big "closing this department" signs anywhere??

You can definitely tell that our local Wal Marts are getting out of the fabric business!  There are big (bigger than usual) sale prices on fabric, and not just a few colors or prints -- a BUNCH of them.   AND, there are empty spaces where fabric "used to be", and it's very apparent that there will be nothing coming in to replace what was sold.

The whole idea of this post then, is this ---- get out some patterns that you will be using later this summer and fall and go buy the fabric while it's available, and on sale.

We've been stocking up on fabrics for our Tropicoolers -- check out the patriotic "Stars", and the cute "dog bones"  prints that we just bought.



And, speaking of Tropicoolers - with the heat wave that we've been having, we're selling tons of them.  Personally I wouldn't go outside without wearing one!  It looks like this may be a long hot summer, so get stocked up on a variety of Tropicooler Designs in order to help beat the heat!
