I, too am a fabricholic. I have been "collecting" my stash for 37 years. I sewed for the kids and made curtains and pillows and then kids outgrew wanting homemade things. For several years I had a second job working at a fabric store and needless to say I probably spent more than I made. I would tell people that I had the full time job for paying bills and supporting the kids and the second job for supporting my habit (buying fabric) and I was definitely in the right place to do that. I still found a little time to sew but I bought so much more than I sewed. Now that I only work 1 job I am trying to organize all my sewing things and also the mountain of things my mother had and I can say it is more than a little overwhelming. I will never have to buy fabric again and that makes me a little sad.
