I don't have a budget per se but do have to watch what I spend due to my unemployment and lack of storgae space. :cry: My problem is when I go to a shop out on a farm; her fabric is ONLY $5/yard so I tend to go overboard there unless I am very careful and/or have my daughters with me! I do try to make out of my stash but I don't always have the colors or right shade so have started only buying in 1/2 yards. So sad for me.
