RUN TO THE SPOTLIGHT

After a short break I’m coming back🤗

Spotlight shop at Singapura plaza is having a renovation and they have really great discounts.
Prices on some fabrics starts from 2 dollars😱

I bought amazing jersey fabrics in the range 2-6 dollars per meter (the previous price was about $20-30 per meter!).
It's even cheaper than that in China town, where the price for jersey starts from $10 (if you know places where it is even less — share in the comments)🙏

There are discount in every section: home/ apparel /accessories/ sewing machines etc.
Most of the prices 30-40% and even 50% less.

I bought in total about 8 different high-quality fabrics and paid around 30 dollars!

Check attached videos to find out more (and hurry up to Spotlight)!
