WHOOPS.
So when I signed up for the sewing class, the registration form was all "click here for class supply list," and I clicked there, and there was no list, so I was just like cool, it's all provided. But then I thought about it a little more and I was like y'know, I really doubt this is all provided. So last night I went poking around the site a little more and found a supply list behind a link that in no way indicates it is a supply list. Good thing I did, because in addition to a buttload of supplies, I'm supposed to bring my own sewing machine. Which I don't own.
Luckily, I posted to Facebook and a neighbor totally rescued me -- she has one she's been trying to get rid of and just gave it to me this morning. Sweet! Well, probably sweet. Possibly a shitty deal if it doesn't work. But she says it does, and this is way better than buying one because I'm too much of an idiot to check more carefully about supplies until the day before class. I went to real estate meetings all morning and then spent an insane amount of time at Jo-Ann just trying to figure out what a lot of these required supplies are, and where to find them, etc. But the employees there were super helpful, and on top of finding everything for me, they hooked me up with extra coupons and I got 40% off everything. I had a 20% off coupon, but apparently you can double those up, and there was one on the website, too...
In addition to buying supplies, I'm supposed to pre-wash and press the fabric I picked out, so that really cuts into my whole nap-all-afternoon plan. But I'm home and relaxing while the wash goes, and I'll squeeze in a power nap once I move the fabric over to the dryer. Shouldn't take long since I'm washing two whole yards of cloth and nothing else. I'm excited about class, though!
