Found a bolt of BATIK....it was nothing fancy fancy - but very pretty and very nice quality. Put it down and started to walk away.
Then i remembered my "impulse purchase rule". I have a strict personal rule against any impulse purchase UNLESS the item is $10 or less...just a thing with me (and a source of amusement to my friends) So...says the little gal in my head..."$3 per yard - i could get 3 yards and it would be allowed under the impulse rule"
....then the other gal up there says..."yeah,but no fabric, remember"
....then the first gal says "shut up - who asked you?"
So i bought the 3 yards.
Just wondering......What causes you to break your fabric buying moratorium rule???
I loved your post's section about the "gals", lol! A lovely batik for $3 a yard - no question, I would have bought it too! I usually will break my "fabric fast" if I see a beautiful fabric that is on sale at a super price and I know it will be just perfect for a project for which is on my bucket list. or it is a neutral that I could use in multiple ways.
