GOOD DRAMA TODAY!

After many posts about Jenny's zippered pouches, I googled 'zippers' and "Wawak" popped up . . . so I went to their website for zippers on Sunday afternoon. Since I had a $10 off my first order if $80, I did a look see if any chance I needed enough for an $80 order.

So I go to 'threads' - I carted what I thought was good prices on . . . Gütermann Silk Thread 440 yds Assorted - 5/Pack $9.30 . . . . Mercerized Cotton Thread 6,000 Meter Assorted - 5/Pack $4.99 . . . . Coats Dual Duty XP General Purpose Sewing Thread Assorted Color 50/spools $27.99, good prices, yes? The thread was the only thing I was uncertain about - just looking for feedback.

My first run at 'zippers', I had ordered 12 (Buy 2, get 1 free), which actually was 18 (they were initially $.94 each, but with freebees were only $.63) so I add 8 more zippers, actually 12 - maybe I'll be making 30 zippered pouches!!! Well, I actually do need to make about 20 as gifts for my NC friends/family when we go this year - perfect justification, doncha think??

So I found a few more "I'll probably need this" items and hit my $80 . . . BUT . . . you get free shipping with $100 order!!! I take another look, everything's on sale!?!? So a few machine needles, fusible fleece, a 28 MM cutter, etc, etc, etc . .

Free shipping and w/$10 credit less than $100 - it's Christmas all over again!!
The icing on the cake is I rec'd it in 2 days w/the order date being on Sunday! Now if my Sewing Cabinet will just get here, I'll be ready to sew, sew, sew! . . . . . Isn't that Good Drama?? After my early mornin' furnace mishap, I sure think so!

Awesome!!!

I like this drama better ;) - nice addition to your sewing supplies - I love Wawak!

I like Wawak too. I got 2 packs of the 25 assorted 14 inch zippers. I already had 2 places of the 11 inch for the purses I make.
What would we do without zippers???

Never heard of Wawak but I will surely be checkin' it out now!!

Hey there B
I have ordered from Wawaks before and was able to get a HUGE cutting mat for 25 bucks. That was a few years ago but I often check them out whenever I get a yen to surf notion type stores online.
You did GREAT. Hurry up cabinet! (the better to hide the evidence, right?)

I order from them too. Great prices on thread of all kinds.

You bet, Blondie - but this little closet I'm cleaning out just isn't gonna be big enough! In all these boxes I have stacked up here, I not only have a "stash" but I have zippers, batting, thread galore and so many 'notions' I'm not sure what they're all for! My Mr. now checks every morning for packages - n' I keep telling him about "the terrific sales"!?!?!? :icon_rolleyes::icon_rolleyes:

Here is a link for the mats. It is a little bit more than when I got it on sale back when but STILL Try and beat that size for that price anywhere else:

What a great haul!

Blondie, thanks for the link, but back in mid-Dec when I was working on the 4 quilts I ordered the 24 X 38 Martelli mat when they had their 50 off. It's a nice mat but quite a bit pricier even at 50 off. I got their ergo cutter, too 'n I'm getting used to that. I had initially bought this pitiful little 18 X 24 mat, Dritz, I think that just wasn't big enough to work with. You might say I'm learning a lot about the tools you need - not like just needing a crochet hook and some good quality thread for crochet! I can see the benefit for letting everyone know when there is a good sale. Wouldn't you think I'd be sleepy tonight, but here I sit with "big eyes" - I'll read some posts 'n see what's hapnin'! Thanks again.

Oh, Blondie, this is bad. This is very, very bad. I just clicked your link to Wawak. This can't end well. :)

"B" keep that small mat around as they can come in handy in other than your primary cutting location. Some have even cut out worn areas and used the good parts in place of a "rotary" mat. Bev
