I love looking at fabric and I'm right there with you, I definitely pick up fabric just because. Also, it's how I save money, when I see fabric on sale. Especially now, there are a lot of sales. I purchase for my stash, for some future project yet to be born. Also if I see a pattern that I really like, I download it if it's free or buy it, or take it from a magazine. I keep a binder of my wish list of future projects to make. By keeping them in a binder there all together, then I can just look through when I'm ready to make something.
