Great deal can't wait to see your pumpkins! Great start on your kiddos hats...thinking ahead 😄 have a great night Summer💛

You’re getting a great start on your hats Summer great haul

Hi Summer, I like all the yarns and I like those hats too. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾❤️🥰

Awesome finds at Joanns. 👍😘 wonderful hats…. Enjoy your day ….

Thank for sharing your purchase! The yarns are pretty.💞💜💞

I don't wash my fabric first, either! haha Bless you for making those hats every year!

Hi Summer, Thank you so much for sharing everything with us!! Love your hats and great haul!! Please take care and stay safe and healthy 💕💗💖🎶🦋

You can use sticks from your yard for stems for your stitched pumpkins. You can use grocery bags for the stuffing too

Hi. First I am a quilter and I do not wash my fabric before I cut and make the quilt. Lol. Crystal at BOD did a review of t he new yarn. It was interesting but I think I am passing. I love the fact that you do so much for your kids. Ty for being that kind of teacher

Great start on your hats. Thanks Summer

I wash my fabric, get the stabilizer out of it. Thanks for sharing the new yarns 😍

Thanks for all the info. Luv all u got!! Just beautiful!!

Nice haul lady! Take care!

Very interesting on the toilet seat yarn. I am anxious to see how you like the pattern pending new easy pull start and how it works out.

Fun and informative video. Thanks Summer!

It’s so exciting to get ready for a new school year. Good luck!

I liked your ideas. Have a great day. 😊😊😊

I no the kiddies just hope there in your class! So kind of you.

Crystal (BOD) did a review of the "toilet seat" yarn. First you cut the plastic zip tie type thing. Then one end is a center pull and the other end you pull from the outside and it worked great. No yarn throw up and no tangling. But she said it was a bit pricey. So you actually saved the old couch cushions and cut up the foam! GENIUS!! I think that's fantastic. I just love to reuse and recycle. Wow!! And what a great haul!! I love your frugalness (i think I just made up a word!!) And again more hats. Beautiful. And you got a nice jump on making them. You'll be done in no time!! Thanks for sharing Summer!!

Hi Summer! OMG! Laughing out loud - when you called that new packageing a Toiletseat!!😂 I will forever think of that when I see them at Joanns. I like the Caron Cakes, however I do like the 100% acrylic for kids hats and scarfs and baby blankets and things. I'd sure hate to make something a child might be allergic to. Ease of washing and drying is improtant. I love to make fall time pupkins, find twigs around my yard to use as stems. I make them like a hat, go around with increases, then decrease when I have it as tall as I want it. Then add stuffing at the top, and close it, but I leave a long tail so I can wrap around the sides to make the groves. So cute, I have them all over.🎃

I just bet you are the best teacher!

I was laughing with you at keeping old stuffing; I use old stuffing from pillow to add to the fur baby beds. The outside still looks descent, but they need cushion for their bodies as they age too😂

Good idea to keep the cushions

The hats for your students are looking good…great that you got an early start on them!! Can’t wait to see your pumpkins!!

I've made a bunch of knitted pumpkins. I knit mine in the round, so no seeming. Super easy and fun.

Deccan use the cushion stuffing for the pumpkins. Awesome savings.

You can knit a pumpkin similarly to how you described crocheting them…knit a rectangle, sew the side seams, cinch the bottom, stuff it, cinch the top and go through the middle and around 6-7 times to create the pumpkin shape. I found a great video by just googling ‘how to knit a pumpkin.’ I used 1/2 a small cinnamon stick in mine, as suggested, and they turned out adorably! I held 3 strands of different colors together to give them some interest. I’ll be making more, I’m sure. 🎃

Your observations are such a hoot. I love when you say: Now... like a new thought is starting. I bet your kids love you. 23 second graders is a big class.

Thankyou Summer!

I don't wash all my fabrics before sewing, just the cotton fabric I am using for wearables. Cotton tends to shrink a little and can make a difference on some wearables. For a valance if it shrinks a little it probably won't be noticeable. Glad to hear your classroom is growing providing a more stable/Christian education experience for the kids. I worry about the children in this country,

I am working on some crochet pumpkins and I literally choose the same colors as you!

I knitted a small pumpkin last fall I used a small maybe 2 or 3 inch piece of tree branch. It turned out good.

Oh, my goodness! It looks like you had a party at Joann’s! That’s an amazing sale you hit!

I use a cut off piece from a tree branch as the stem for my pumpkins.

Oh my gosh! I did the same pumpkin pattern! I'll post what I did in the group. Look on Amazon for the cinnamon sticks! You can get a bulk order of them decently priced. I sold over 100 of them last year!

I'll have to go to Joanne's and check the Bernat Forever Fleece yarn. I have a granddaughter on the way so sounds like I can crochet a baby item with that yarn. I would love to knit a Ross hat but it looks challenging with those 4 dpns. I'm learning to knit. Thanks Summer for sharing.

I like to use old couch pillows too no reason to waste good stuffing

I never thought of using that for stuffing.

Jayda in Stitches has an easy crochet 🎃 pattern (recycling 🙌🏾 - good on you reusing that sofa stuffing). I think it’s funny (& curious) how often Caron changes the way they ball up yarn, also they seem to charge a premium for their delivery experiments 🙄 - thanks for sharing and letting us know how you like them. Cute hats Summer!

Nice haul!

I made some punkins and used some twigs from outside pretty rustic and woodsy .. I love them

Hi summer there is a great crochet pattern for pumpkins 🎃 on Jayda in stitches so easy to do even I can do it 😊🧶

Thanks for sharing

Loved seeing all the goodies. I taught for 27 years and used to make hats for the kids. I had a treasure chest in the classroom. The kids would love it when I would put yarn in that I didn't want. Hope you have a terrific school year!

The Roll of yard Bagoday reviewed it didn't tangle but is strange it would not well in your wip bag. 😀 Thanks for sharing ♥️

Oh those hats are adorable! What a beautiful job you've done on those. You truly have a heart of gold 💛

I re-use/recycle as much as I can. So I think it is great to use the pillow stuffing from your couch to stuff your decorative pumpkins. And the ring of yarn - toilet seat was my first thought too. 🤣😃 You saved a lot on your total purchase. I love looking at the end of my receipt to see how much I saved , it always makes me happy.

Bag-o-day just did a review on that Caron colorama.

Sounds like you'll be busy!! I love to listen to your descriptions, they are what we're thinking and not saying, agreed, looks like a toilet seat!!!! Enjoy all your goodies!! Now that my knees are healed I need to check out the local Joann's, thanks for sharing your haul!! Prayers, love and hugs my dear friend. 🙏❤️🤗

You can use a stick for the stem I have done that before

Bella coco has a fab tutorial on a pumpkin it’s so easy and she has one to do the stork on the top I do them every year.) to add to my collection or to give away:) 🧶

Summer, The Secret Yarnery has a much easier pumpkin pattern.

BOD reviewed pull from outside is best

Good morning summer from California

Awesome deal, way to go. Can't wait to see your pumpkins, sounds really easy the way you were explaining it. My Jo-Anns don't have yarn have to order on line. Thank you for sharing, until the next time. 🤗🤗❤️❤️

Bag o day Crystal did a review on those carnon wheels if you wish to see and hear her thoughts thanks for sharing live everything you more.

And also Bella Coco has a tutorial for pumpkins 🎃 x

I need to wash the stuffings before! I use an empty cushion with a zipper to wash the stuffings!

Good morning ☀️

Hey Summer, teacher check your spelling not hall but haul. you gave me a chuckle. I'm just being silly please don't be hurt, I enjoy you and your you Tube channel!☺

That was a fun shopping haul. I was happy to see that you were able to get your color crafty sticks 😃 love the yarn too. I am going to try the pumpkin 🎃 I have to get started now for fall/Halloween 🦋 thanks Summer 🌞🧶 Good luck with the curtains. You need to share a finished picture of them. Might encourage me to sew a little again. 🌈

Cool way to wind up the yarn.

It does look like a toilet seat I agree LOL

The new yarn is too expensive here in Canada , 11.99 each way too much for the amount of yardage

Bag-o-day has a tutorial

I think it's a gimmick I don't think it will last

Toilet seat 🤣🤣

Your crochet pumpkin idea sounds like fun. Do you have a link to the pattern you plan to use?

I just finished 40 Ross Hats! Can you get Joans brand or prime brand in the #6 in orange and green for pumpkins?

Caron yarn doesn't have enough yardage for the price.

Yes I'd rather have cakes. I mean I really never had a cake tangle. Now skeins? 🤦. That can be almost a night mare at times! And toilet seat? That's so true! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Toilet seat! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
