Well I think when it comes to special items, like R. T's hand-dyes and Saris and such they could be considered exempt. I needed thread yesterday, came out with thread, some snips (99c - total bargain) and two pieces from the remnant box - 1 x purple textured upholstery 1.5 metres and about 1.5 metres of super soft flannel. The upholstery fabric is just the perfect purple I need to make some "quilty" slipcovers for my retro SCargo mini-van - though I need some black and orange to go with it, the flannel will go on the "baby" shelf as I have an oversupply of patterned fabric. I resisted the half-price table and the heavily reduced FQs. Still feel a bit guilty though....so back on the moratorium wagon I go.
