I must confess that I love fabric!I have been reading other crafters blogs online and have found some fabulous places to buy incredible fabric but there is just one problem! The price! I know that there is such a thing as quality fabric and I know if you really want the cute stuff you have to be willing to shell out the cash but when there is no cash to shell…hmmm! After a final no from the hubby on the fabric that would cost nearly $40 for me to make a diaper bag for Cai (this is not including the lining fabric! I know I know!) I have decided to go out and prove the world wrong and make a cute diaper bag for Cai with cheap fabric! I have decided to stick with a pattern that I know well so that I can try to add a little spice to it (this is me being brave as I am not one to stray from a pattern). I headed to Joanns and of course this was a day with no cute fabric in site! On a very bottom shelf in the back and in the dust I found a cute green polka-a-dot fabric and then I came across a green and white stripe that I liked as well. I was hesitant with the white since it shows dirt so well but I decided that is what the washing machine is for! It will be summer when Cai arrives so I wanted happy but yet I wanted to stay masculine so I have decided to throw in some brown piping and then probably brown for some embroidery as well. I was able to purchase everything for right under $15 which is a huge price difference! I have a pile of sewing yet to do on other projects but when it is finished I promise to post some pics for now here is a pic of the fabrics!

And for your own temptations here are a few of my favorite fabric sites…
