I find that purchasing fabric online is easier for me & great fun. However, I just started to organize a sewing room. I can't believe how much fabric I have found & refell in love with since taking it out of the plastic totes, refolding it and putting it on shelves - in my closet
However, that doesn't mean I have stop buying fabric. My challenge now is to beat my DH to the door when the mailman drops off the mail & hide my precious packages (to be opened at a later time) Sometimes, I feel like I am 13 again & trying to hide something I did wrong from my parents.
But there is nothing like the fabric high I get when I open a package that has been delivered from an online fabric store.
LOVE IT!!!!!!
A P.O. Box is my solution. I currently live with my aged mother. Her comment is "I think you have enough fabric now!" But the other day she pointed out an auction to me that has two treadle machines and quilting items listed. Of course, I was already planning to attend said auction.
It is my money. It just is alot easier if the fabric is just there. She has finally offered an extra bedroom for a sewing/craft room. We live in a mobile home and space is at a premium, but this will allow me to move my knitting/quilting out of the living room into an area where I can work on my projects and return her living room to her. We will both be happier.
