I buy the least in January and Feb. I am usually coming down from the fall and Christmas stuff I have sewn... and I need a bit of a break... plus I have all the scraps from the Frenzy of it all.
I try to work on the "put aside "project that I may have purchased fabric but just did not get to during the "frenzy time".
The January sales may occasionally break my hibernation or if I just need to have a nice bright fabric in my collection to pick up the dark days.
It seems even the LQS are not getting to much in during Jan.. maybe ... and inventory issue?!!
