You can learn a lot about yourself just playing with fabric. Today I started out with the goal of emptying out all 5 of those really big plastic totes and folding & organizing all of my fabrics into the built in cupboard in the back of the closet.
I learned that I must really love the color blue. I have a beautiful collection of 48 blue fabrics that total to 143 yards. I also seam to have acquired a bad addiction to novelty fabrics. I have two shelves full and still have 2 ½ totes still to finish going through.
I learned that I just can’t resist buying from the 50% off rack when Joanns has a red tag sale. However most of my red tag sale items don’t go with anything I currently have.
I’m pretty sure that any scrap that I throw in to my scrap bin automatically multiplies in the night and makes more. So I need to plan on cutting scraps into smaller usable sizes on a regular basis.
And lastly I learned that I have pretty good taste, and had lots of fun shopping. And more importantly when you wrap the fabric around the 6-inch ruler, slide out the ruler and fold it in half, it keeps it looking very neat & tidy and somehow look like less fabric. So no need to confess to DH how much fabric that I really have.
