I haven't looked in the stores recently for Seams Great, as I ordered a supply from either Nancy's Notions or Clotilde last year. But I do understand your frustration. did you check Wal-Mart? I know there are a few open on the West Bank in Greta, at least. I think Seams Great is made by Dritz and the last time I was in W-M, they had some Dritz items. All their stores, like Jo-Ann's and other chains, do not carry the same merchandise. I can not buy wooly nylon at the Jo-Ann's nearest my home, but drive 15 miles and it is abundant there. On the same subject, in October, I was in Plano, outside Dallas, and went to a Jo-Ann's to get a yard of of Trim-Tex to line a handbag. The clerks looked at me as though I was just off a planet ship from Mars or somewhere. They were very explicit when telling me, there was no such item made. I even talked to the 'manager on duty'. Neither did I find any at the local stores, either. either Jo-Ann's or Hancock's. Like you said, I found it online and now, DGD has a pretty bag of bright red glitter knit with a 20s Flapper hair band to match. The directions were in a book I have. Another reader of this group sent the fabric, which was perfect and DGD loves them. The only drawback is she has several little friends, who want bags & bands like hers; and DGD has apparently, told them she knew her Gramma would make a set for each of them. She is only 8-YO and has not been around any sewing since she was 2-YO, therefore has no ideas of the time, fabric, etc. involved in these projects. But being me, I will finish them by the time they are out of school for spring break, though not all will be red glitter knit, maybe pink or blue. Emilly
