Thanks for all the tips on the last 'Sewing on a Budget' post. I will be doing a post with all your suggestions! Keep them coming!!!
Shopping at Hobby Lobby
I love Hobby Lobby. Nuf said.
The sales aren't as great as Joann's but I still go there for specific items because I can get them cheaper than Joann's. They also have a weekly coupon on their website www.hobbylobby.com.

| Kona Cotton |
- Kona Cotton - I love Kona Cotton. It's regular price at Joann's & Hobby Lobby is $5.99. At Hobby Lobby it is ALWAYS on sale for 30% off. Typically, I get it at Hobby Lobby. Yes, I could use my coupon at Joann's but I am closer to a Hobby Lobby. I figure I'd eat the extra 10% in savings by driving/extra time spent. I use Kona for clothing and quilting. Plus it comes in EVERY color!!!
- broad cloth - A huge step down from Kona Cottons, but still does a great job. At Hobby Lobby, it is usually about $1.87 a yard. But with a hot 40% off coupon in your hand...nice! I use broad cloth for linings, especially in totes. I use a load of broadcloth so I usually buy 10 yards at a time with a coupon.
- ribbon - Most of the time it is on sale for 50% off. You can get usually around 15 feet/5 yards for .99 cents. Great deal! And they have a great ribbon selection
- cotton prints - Often are much cuter than Joann's and always 30% off!
- tulle on a spool - (wow that rhymes) Often this is on sale for $1.99 for a 25 yard spool of 6" wide tulle. (Great color selection.) This is great for the no-sew tutus and for decorations.
- clearance section - I love to dig through the clearance in the fabric section. I've found many fun trims, fabrics, and notions for a steal.
Any tips for shopping at Hobby Lobby?

One of the great things about shopping for fabric at Hobby Lobby is that they get shipments in all the time. Also, any fabric that they stock- they will continue to stock for 2 years. So, if you need more, you can always go back and find it!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a Hobby Lobby! Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Hobby Lobby! But, there is one down the street from my mother... it's just that I forget that it is there because I'm always at In-N-Out! Ha! One day though.... :)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Cole's Corner! You definitely don't have to worry as much about not being able to find a fabric like you do at Joanns. I love hobby lobby also for their sales on home decor items! They always host 50% off their home decor at some point. And even better, their prices are generally cheap to begin with!
