IT’S A DISASTER

I don’t sew much anymore…the old eyes are making it difficult for the small hand work and things like threading needles.

Since moving, I wanted to freshen up some patio furniture. I thought about buying new, but—HOLY SMOKES!!!—have you seen the prices on that stuff?

So I picked apart one of the old covers to use as a pattern and ordered some fabric online. When it arrived, I decided it could be better if it were re-inforced with a good iron-on interfacing. I drove to my local fabric shop. Even though I spend less time there than I did a few years ago, they know me.

I pulled onto the parking place to be greeted by numerous large, multi-colored banners proclaiming a STORE CLOSING.

NO! Do they care nothing about my years of loyal support?

We’re coming to the finale of Project Runway.  I could win that show, but they work until midnight sometimes and I can’t hack staying up that late. Project Runway pushes up the number of yards of fabric sold all across the country. Young people watch it and realize that both fashion and design are true art forms. In the old days, if a man did it, it was art, and if a woman did it, it was a craft. NO MORE!

Yet, my personal fabric store will close. How can this be?

The clerk told me it was because they lost their lease. I’m pretty sure that’s a cover story. It’s a conspiracy to…to…make me cry.
