Hi! I'm here!!! They put their boxes out when I was in the store and I was running through the boxes. Ha ha ha. They didn't say anything to me. I picked up 3 patterns but I can only show you 2 because 1 is a Christmas project. My JoAnns does not have Newlook Patterns. He picked up some great patterns! I feel the same way about crossover tops because I hate the idea of making it and then happening to pin it to stay closed. Have a great weekend.
Hi Zelda, they did not let me open the boxes. Oh well. At least I know now that New Look patterns go on sale whenever Simplicity is on sale. Happy Sewing! 🥰
Hi Grace! Thank you for letting me know that the New Look Patterns are on sale when simplicity patterns are on sale, I did not know that. Thank you for sharing, I do appreciate it. 😁 I love your pattern haul, and I like the fabric that you chose too. S9373- I like a good cardigan. Your fabric choice is absolutely beautiful. S8789 I have never seen it. It is gorgeous!! I have not tried a body shirt yet, I will one day, S9785 Love the cargo pattern (View A & C are cute!) I love the fact that it is easy to sew. I will have to add this pattern to my collection. N6740 Another gorgeous pattern, I need to add it to my collection as well. Your B6764 Fall Top, pants, and shoes are gorgeous!!! I like the fabric choice too. Have a great day Grace!
Grace, I really appreciate that you post the pattern sales. Since I live 65 miles away from Joann's they won't send me their paper advertisements so a "head's up" helps me plan my visits to the city. The top you modeled looks great. I think I will have to pick it up and give it a try! Thanks.
Hi Katherine, I'm glad I can help you out. Be sure to check my Community tab weekly and I will post any sales as I become aware of them. Definitely pick up that Butterick top pattern the next time Butterick patterns go on sale. You won't be disappointed! 🥰😍
@@SirenaSpades I've been getting them sporadically. It's annoying. But I do call and confirm all sales before I post them on my Community tab. Check weekly! 😃
Hi Grace, I love your top, it fits you perfectly. Thank you for the info on the pattern sales. I don’t have New Look patterns, but on the next sale I will see if I find something that interests me. Thank again for a great video 💞💞💞💞💞
Thank you Karen, I think you will like New Look patterns. They carry all the sizes in one pattern. I'll be sure to post any pattern sales on my Community tab as I become aware of them. 💖💖💖💖💖
Hey Grace! Same problem at the JoAnn's nearest to my house - pattern drawers are virtually empty and disorganized! I have to go to another JoAnn's store 8 miles farther away to get the patterns I want during a sale. For some reason, the newer store can't stock their drawers, but the older store has their drawers filled to capacity with patterns all the time. Go figure! Bought a New Look pattern at JoAnn's today - $3.99. Maybe CA is different than FL??? New Look patterns are never on sale here. Almost bought S9374 today, but already have the S9373 pattern that is virtually identical but with long sleeves, so I decided to pass on the other. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your B6764 top!!! Much nicer than the top shown on the pattern envelope. Well done! 🥰
Awww thank you Dori! I love my top too! So stylish and flowy. I can't believe New Look are $3.99 today!! They told me the same that they were NOT on sale but when I got to the register to check out they rang up to $1.99. That's strange how CA store would have different pricing. It's all one company. Wow!! Well, I hope you have a great weekend and happy sewing. 💖💖🥰
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I'm cracking up because the employees will tell you it's 30% off at $2.79, but when you get to the checkout it is $1.99. I've been saying this for over a year. Have them scan the pattern of one first, then grab more. LOL! Thank you for the shout out.
I was at JoAnn the other day and inquired about McCall patterns as the sign on the drawer showed them being on sale for $1.99. I had the gal at the cutting counter scan the pattern and she said it was like $13 something. Another person working at the counter had the other gal scan it another way and it showed the correct (discounted) price. We have to be diligent.....😅
Thanks so much for sharing the info on the pattern sales. I didn’t know about the new look. I love Simplicity 9374. It’s on my wish list. You look so “lovely” in the top. The color and style really suits you. Have a great weekend. ❤
Thank you Diann, I'm really enjoying this Fall top for it's colors and that it's flowy. Also, be sure to check your Joann receipt when you buy New Look when Simplicity patterns are $1.99. Amazing that I did not know this for so long. Have a great weekend and happy sewing! 🥰
Hi Grace, I saw some patterns that I have, like the Mimi G one. Thanks for the advice on New Look patterns. I always forget about them when I’m buying other patterns. Love your blouse, very cute and stylish.
I love your shirt. The fabric is so pretty on you! I did not make it to the Simplicity sale, but I suppose I’ll survive. I’ll just have to keep an eye out for the next one!😂
Thanks Lara! A tried and true pattern with a Hobby Lobby fabric! You'll be the first to know when any patterns go on sale at Joann's. I hope you have a wonderful week! 😃
Ok. New Look usually goes for $1.99 when Simplicity is $1.99. Yesterday Simplicity and NL were not on sale. Try tomorrow thru the 25th when Simplicity goes on sale for $1.99. Thanks for letting me know.
I love this video. SEW much inspiration in it. My next trip into the city, I will have to look for B6764. By the way, the pleated lace is beautiful. It immediately jumped out at me screaming WOW! Only a sewist would understand this reaction 🤣. Thanks for the great ideas! Bernadette🍁
Thank you Bernadette! I'm so glad I inspired you. 🥰 I actually reacted similar to you when I saw this eyelet lace at Hobby Lobby. Absolutely gorgeous. I hope you watch the Embrace the Lace video on the 21st. I also have a playlist for ETL. Have a great weekend! 🌹
I was disappointed too, my most wanted patterns weren't in my store when I went yesterday. I'm hoping the Simplicity site has a big sale over Black Friday - I have a big list of patterns that have been unavailable over time over several brands. I did NOT KNOW about New Look and Simplicity being on sale together at Joanns! I also found one in the drawer that I got, that I wouldn't have thought of. I almost wonder if spending time in the drawers at the store might be worth the time! Almost like browsing at the library! Your make is lovely. I like the bell sleeves. I enjoy seeing both your makes and hauls because it gives me lots of great ideas!
Thanks Sirena! Glad you enjoyed seeing my makes and hauls. If you have time, it's worth browsing the pattern drawers randomly. Sometimes they have patterns that I've never seen. Joann's as an business has so much potential but it is run by an executive management team that has no clue about the sewing industry. Their C level management are from companies such as Lockheed Martin, Whole Foods, JC Penny and others. They are clueless on how to run Joann's. Thanks for watching! 🥰
wow, thanks for that detail. It's so good to know this ,the stripe fabric is cute,I love the New Look ,I'm getting that one. The Butterick Fall blouse fits you fabulous. yes, I was inspired.
Nice patterns! I am staying clear of JoAnn's right now until I start sewing again. I remember those dickies when they were really all the look and, yes, I had several. Enjoy your holiday season! And Happy Sewing!!
Thanks Deb! Great to see you in the comments. I've been thinking about you, William and Bella! Hope you are all doing well and have a wonderful, happy holiday season as well! 🦃🎄 Happy Sewing to you too!! 🪡🥰
We are all doing great here. Bella turned 7 months old today. She's still very much a puppy and keeping us busy, busy, busy. Looking forward to the day when she settles down even just a little bit. Right now, she follows me EVERYWHERE I go in the house -- even the bathroom! LOLOLOL... I have very little "me" time right now. But that should change somewhat in the near future. Have a great week-end!
Thanks for the information on New Look patterns. That’s good to know. I love your newest top and the fabric you used for all of your tops. Love the lace you purchased too.
Glad I could pass that on about New Look patterns. I really thought that they never went on sale but they do when Simplicity does!! WOW! I missed out on a lot of sales. Hopefully that doesn't change. Thanks for your lovely comments! 🥰
Love the flowy top! I like the boots with the pants idea. Did you make the pants? I need to go back and look at your body suit video. The body suit pattern you showed has peaked my interest.
Hi Jill, Thanks so much! The top is so flowy and stylish. I did not make the pants. I wish I did. I'm excited about the body suit pattern too! I hope to make it and wear it with jeans and boots. How cool would that be!!! Thanks for watching.
Grace, I love the new top you have on and the one that you have cut out ready to finish. You are so talented and I know you’re having fun. Keep it going. Can’t wait til your next video. 😊
Thanks Karla! Thanks for the motivation and encouragement. 😍 Thanks for tagging along with me at Joann's and always helping me out! You are a GREAT friend!!! I love you! 🥰♥♥♥
You DO inspire me and my sewing journey. Everything you make is just stellar and fits so well. Your videos are so fun to watch and I always learn something. And, Grace, I asked you about your counter books. Well, guess what? I went to Hobby Lobby and I finally found them in the clearance section. I bought a Simplicity and McCalls. I was almost jumping up and down. My heart soared.
Wow! Susan I'm so thrilled you found some counter books at Hobby Lobby!!! It's such a joy to page through them in the comfort of your home. Isn't it?!! My heart also soared when I read your comment!! WONDERFUL! 🥰🥰🥰 Thanks for watching and commenting. My goal is to inspire and inform. Have a wonderful week!! 💕💕♥♥
So great to see your video pop up! I always enjoy what you have to show and tell. I'm excited about the embrace the lace video and will definitely look for it! Thanks for modeling the top; it's always so helpful to see a garment in the wild, so to speak. 😄
Thank you Diane! I'm glad to hear you enjoy my makes. I love to see a pattern sewn up also! I hope you enjoy the ETL video. I always try to make my videos informative, fun and inspiring! Thanks for tuning in. 🥰
I love the pattern haul. I’m going to pick up both of those new look patterns. Talisha did a beautiful job on her fall makes. She inspired me too. Beautiful top. Great video!
I love the top you're wearing! Your clothing always has a nice fit😊. I made the S9182. It was before my TH-cam channel, but it is on my Instagram. I like it a lot! I went to Joanns today (Saturday). They STILL have not put out the new patterns....
Oh wow Donna! I would love to see that MimiG outfit on you. I don't have Instagram. I'm sure it looks gorgeous. All your makes are done so professional and give that boutique exclusive vibe! Also, I'm not surprised about the Joanns not putting out the patterns. They seem to be shorthanded and patterns are not a priority there. They need new top management to run this business. Joanns is much much more than just a retail store of products. Hope you have a wonderful week!! 🥰
What a lovely floaty blouse on you! That is so feminine and looks great with those trousers. Re your patterns, I picked up those Simplicity trousers a couple of weeks ago and looking forward to trying them, like you I was attracted to the cargo style. Great to see you match patterns with fabric, that's my favourite type of video ❤. Have a great weekend 😘
Thanks Carole! I think you would love that Butterick pattern. Easy and nice. I want to make those Simplicity cargos for sure! They are so cute! I'm glad you enjoyed the pattern matching to fabric. Hope you have a wonderful weekend to sew also! 🥰❤❤
Love your channel. You make and model such great things. I just missed the last pattern sale at Joanns. Why don't they post the pattern sales on the App like they used to? Let me know when the next one is.😊
Thank you Deb! I'm so glad you love my channel. I always try to present fun and informative videos. I get the Joann flyers and I post all pattern sales on my Community tab on my channel. Be sure to check it weekly. I also post Hobby Lobby fabric sales. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Have a great week! 🥰
Grace where can I find the pattern boxes you keep your patterns in & the plastic zip sleeves? I had looked at that sweater dress pattern several times, I may just get it for the dickie like you said! I love your channel!!
Hi Suzana! I bought those Simplicity Vintage Pattern boxes at Joann's 2 years ago. Unfortunately they dropped the Simplicity Vintage line and no longer carry them. I added Amazon links to the 7"X9" ziplock bags in the description box of this video. You can buy 50 or 100 pack. I love them! Thanks for watching!
It's not the computers. It's the airheads they hire at Joann Fabrics. They don't know, they don't care, and they sure don't want to help customers! We have several Joann stores here in AZ and all are staffed with (mostly young) people who just don't give a crap. Sad.
Yes Gloria, I also blame the management at the top. They need to hire and train their employees properly. It's a shame. Plus they need to hire more competent workers. The stores have too much to do and not enough hands. I love Joann's and there's so much potential for this company to be successful. It's not a retail store as we sewists know. It's much more than that. Management doesn't get it. Thanks for commenting! 🥰
I just wait for you to pose every week. Love your channel. You are such a sweet person and your content is so interesting. ❤️ we understand with holidays it is a crunch. Take it easy and do what you must, we’ll happily wait for you. 😊
Sandi, I did not know that. That is such a shame. I recall when I was a college student, I worked at K-Mart and they tore up the sneakers and shoes they did not sell. Instead of donating to a shelter or charity they literally ripped the shoes in half. That left a harsh impression on me. Who knows what else goes on behind the scenes in retail. Truly heartbreaking.
I like that flower top!😅
Thank you Zelda!! 💖💖

I love all your patterns. Keep it going. Cantvwait to see your videos.
Awww thank you Linda! It's so nice to hear that. Keeps me motivated to keep going! Have a great weekend! 💖
Thank you for the sale advice on the New Look patterns!
You bet Linda! I will pass on any sale information here on my Community tab.

Hey Grace😊
Hi Arleathia, I haven't seen you in a while! I need to catch up with your videos!!! Have a great weekend.
Hi, I took a break…but I made that organza blouse for you!❤️
Awww! It's beautiful!!! I love it. Have a great week.
It's not the computers. It's the airheads they hire at Joann Fabrics. They don't know, they don't care, and they sure don't want to help customers! We have several Joann stores here in AZ and all are staffed with (mostly young) people who just don't give a crap. Sad.

I just wait for you to pose every week. Love your channel. You are such a sweet person and your content is so interesting. ❤️ we understand with holidays it is a crunch. Take it easy and do what you must, we’ll happily wait for you. 😊
Did you know that JoAnn’s has to throw away all the out dated patterns!? Employees can’t take them either. What a waste!
Sandi, I did not know that. That is such a shame. I recall when I was a college student, I worked at K-Mart and they tore up the sneakers and shoes they did not sell. Instead of donating to a shelter or charity they literally ripped the shoes in half. That left a harsh impression on me. Who knows what else goes on behind the scenes in retail. Truly heartbreaking.
My mom worked at Kmart and told me how they had to throw things out..that was Year's ago...
