Do you do this to get an idea about what people think about fabric, to decide whether to order it?
I don't think I've ever seen you say your opinions about the fabric. And I know some think it's because you have the fabric and don't know what to do with it yoursself, though I don't think that's the case.
Hope you will share a little ........ Thanks!
You have guessed right, that sometimes I do post pictures of a fabric because I'm trying to gauge whether it has a wide appeal, or whether I'm the only one who likes it. And that is exactly why I don't put in my opinion at all, because I don't want to color the discussion one way or the other.
Then again, sometimes I post pictures of fabrics that have me so confuse that I have NO IDEA why they are made, and no idea what people would do with them.
In the case of this particular fabric, I ordered it for my shop a couple of months ago ... absolutely a knee-jerk reaction, because I like purple, and roses, and swans are graceful and pretty, the gold metallic makes it even better, and... well, you know how it goes when you just like a fabric.
And then it arrived, and I got to wondering whether it was too Valentines-y, or maybe only would appeal in springtime... and I'm not really ready to think about spring sewing projects right now, as summer is only a month old.
But then, if the Christmas fabrics start showing up in stores in May, then I suppose it follows that Valentine's fabrics would make their debut in July.
Personally, I'm not even in the mood for fall projects yet, much less spring ones. Maybe it's because I haven't gotten to go to the beach yet this summer. I'm just not ready to move on yet.
