The NZ ones do and their list price for tana lawn is $NZD38 per meter and they often have 10-20% off as well. It's the only time I ever buy it.

I buy a lot on eBay from a seller called 'fellabird'. I have a search set up on eBay to notify me. I did get caught once with some 'Liberty' that felt very 'cottonish' rather then silky lawn so there are definitely fake fabrics. That said, that shirt continues to wash and iron beautifully.<br /><br />Spotlight (our Joannes) has a nice range of Japanese lawn which is around $20m but regularly goes on sale for $12.<br /><br />I always check out the remnant bin, shirts 5 and 7 were both sewn for under $5 plus if you get a remnant cheap, you can cut the cuffs and collars from that and buy a small piece, off the roll, for full price.<br /><br />The little pieces were from a mixed bag my mum gave me for Christmas a few years back.<br />The BEST present ever.<br /><br />Thank you for your lovely comments, they are not always that grateful but i hope one day they look back fondly.<br />xx Nmotherof5https://www.blogger.com/profile/10195031588051037622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451620064759054335.post-7011554826233780252018-10-09T16:18:33.965-07:002018-10-09T16:18:33.965-07:00Thank you so much.

I don't know where you are, but thought maybe you had found a reasonable source. All your kids are very lucky to have you as their personal seamstress, even if they don't realize it now. My mother made most of my clothes, and I was luckier than I ever knew at the time.becksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147945810663254093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451620064759054335.post-72482815068822432152018-10-09T06:44:25.128-07:002018-10-09T06:44:25.128-07:00Your son has a fantastic shirt collection!Your son has a fantastic shirt collection!Eileensewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14021854271629386306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451620064759054335.post-5104466698550304282018-10-09T00:07:55.545-07:002018-10-09T00:07:55.545-07:00Thank you so very much, how kind.
