Ashton is 8, so he got flannel fabric with footballs and soccer balls in it. Ava only wants to wear pink or purple. She is 5 and all girl. LOL Here is their fabric. I got enough fabric yesterday to make each grandchild either 2 pairs of flannel pants or 2 flannel gowns.
Noah likes cars and trucks and the color blue. He is 5, almost 6. So I found a blue fabric with cars/trucks and a fabric with robots in it for him. Izabella is 3 and loves butterflies. She got this gorgeous yellow flannel with butterflies and lady bugs on it and the purple fabric with bunnies, fawns, owls, and flowers. I think she will love it! Here is Noah and Izzie's fabric.
I haven't seen Madison since Easter except on Facebook. So I don't know much about what she would like. So I picked out what I thought a 2 year old would like. Plus the blue fabric will look so nice with her blue eyes. Here is her fabric.
I also got a couple of McCalls patterns that were on sale for $1.29 each, thread to match the fabrics, elastic for the pants and rib knit for the tops of the gowns.
This is enough supplies to make 4 pairs of flannel pants and 6 flannel gowns. I paid a little over $66 for all this. The flannel was normally $6.99 per yd/on sale for $2.99 per yd. The rib knit was normally $9.99 per yd/on sale for $3 off. I used a 40% off coupon for the elastic. The thread wasn't on sale, but I had a 25% off total purchase (including sale items) that I used. Are you ready for this? I saved over $128!!!! I saved almost twice what it cost me. I floated out of the store. (grin) I went by the laundry mat and washed all the fabric. Now I am ready to start sewing for the grand babies. Just waiting on their mamas to give me their measurements. I will guess on Madison. I figure I can get pretty close to fitting her with a gown. Don't you love it when you get stuff that you need and save so much on it?
We are having a nice day here. Kevin is outside piddling. I am on the computer and the animals are all enjoying the nice weather. I'm not enjoying the time change so much, but then, I never do enjoy it. (grin) It usually takes me about 2 weeks to get used to the change. Personally, I wish they would leave it one way or the other. The beagle woke us up at 5:30 this morning barking. That was still 4:30 for me. She barked till it got daylight, then found a spot to go sleep. I should go wake her every few minutes. LOL This is the second night in a row she has done this. I tried to have a talk with her this morning when I fed her, but I don't think she is going to listen to me. LOL
I have some more things to share, but I will save those for next time. Everyone have a good day. Thanks for visiting. Please come again.

Looks like you will have plenty to keep you busy. I wish we had daylight saving time here. It would save a lot of electricity during the summers.
What a great haul -- gotta love those sales & coupons! These fabrics are going to be some dynamite pjs - what a great Christmas idea!
What great fabrics you got...and at such a savings! I'm sure the kids will appreciate those snuggly pj's during the winter months!
Oh how I wish I could make gowns and pj pants! Sure would make nice gifties!
Saving money is always a good thing ;)
Hi Winona, Haven't seen your blog in awhile. Maybe it is because I have not been blogging much due to sickness. Sounds like you have plenty to do. I also am sewing different things for my grandchildren and greats. Just need to pick up a little speed. Enjoyed your post.
Sounds like you got some good deals. That always feels good, doesn't it?
Winona~ Good buys at JOann's, you did great getting all that fabric. I finally went over to the new hobby lobby and I have to say I was not very impressed :(. Have a great week.
Blessings,Joann
