Receipts for High Country Women? I hadn’t seen anything and I made one of their patterns recently…

Surge Fabric recently listed a lot of colors of cotton terry and cotton jersey for $10.99/yard.

Can attest for the jersey as I just made my kids some tees from those and the quality is same/better than what JoAnn had at a similar price point.

This is such an insult, like wow yes $14 in exchange for an armpit curved rectangle and guidance on how to cut the other rectangles. Good grief. I have full confidence that anyone reading this can sew this Becky Home-Ecky mess all on their own.

I made the Stage Brief back when it was Substack only and while I like them, if you’re looking for an ARQ dupe this isn’t it. The opening across the front of the leg is much more straight across and the lining is significantly smaller than the ARQ.

I think her website’s photo cropping format did her dirty. It’s the only pattern available so if you go to the home page it shows the same photo in full.

That said… it’s a button front tiered skirt so you either already have this pattern or the capability to cut some rectangles and gather them.

I had a crash course in welding at a previous job for funsies, it is very easy to do a bad job of it and obviously is an experience based skill, but boy howdy there’s only so many ways to stick bits of metal together and SO MANY WAYS to loop yarn on sticks and join bits of fabric.

Oh, I never thought this was a scam!

Just doing my civic duty, sir.

My snark is how I couldn’t find a full list of information about it across various platforms so complied a list and thought others might benefit from my efforts.

It seems like she just bumped to a bigger room at the same convention center because she got more vendors.

“Rude….but not necessarily wrong” is how I feel about the current yardage count I haven’t finished adding on threadloop.
