I can't remember the last time I bought a pattern and lately I have been playing with my scrap fabrics and stash. Well so was the case while I was on my year long maternity leave. I returned back to work two weeks ago. So I would imagine I will be back to buying at the LQS and online again!! got my first "REAL" pay cheque here at work after returning off of mat leave.. so I am going SHOPPING .. yep for fabrics and new work clothes LOL
