I think I have finally found a way to get myself motivated to sew.
On my visit to Walmart last week I was astonished to find FABRIC!!! Lots of it, pretty prints. I immediately placed an order with JoAnn Fabrics for a pattern for a scrubs top. I wanted a simple tunic pull over, and while the scrubs isn't quite what I wanted, it was closer than any other pattern I could find.
Checking the yardage this morning, I noticed that the pattern (Simplicity 5443) also has a scrunchy. I've been trying to find instructions for those for years. I never did figure out an easy way to do it, I should have the actual pattern in my hands tomorrow or Tuesday.
I'm getting psyched!
Just out of curiosity, why did you have to order the pattern? Is there no local store? Do you live in the boonies? Just wondering.I think I have finally found a way to get myself motivated to sew.

This coming spring, I"ll at last be starting the construction of a full-scale hydroponic vegetable gardening setup. I'm going to build a screened in, 20' x 20' greenhouse elevated 3' from the ground and having a 12' peaked roof.
the accepted and proven maximum poundage of produce in this type of greenhouse is 7 pounds per/sq/ft/month. I'm going to aim for 10 pounds. I have the hydroponic units designed already and will put them into production starting about May first, I hope.
Building the platform for the greenhouse will be the hardest part. I'll be using a power driller for the post holes. I'm too old to dig them by hand.
When it's built and ready for planting, I'll start a thread so the growth of the veggies can be tracked and watched.
This will be a blast!
I"ll be using several types of hydroponic methods; Ebb and Flow, and cascading Nutrient Flow Technique (NFT) will be the primary systems.
Wow, Timothy! When you start a project, it's a sure-enough project. I hope you'll be taking and posting photos all along the way. I admire your ambition and will bait my breath for the next bulletin.
My local organic farm lady grows her veggies hydroponically in white plastic "stackers." When she first opened, she sold U-pick strawberries and I enjoyed the fact that the berries could be picked at waist level, not ground level. Are you planning the same?
bummer on your pattern. yes sheets make great fabric source. really super for curtains. lots of fabric for not so much money. let us know how your tops turn out.
Pillow shams too. I used one to make a cover for my sewing machine.
