Just checking in to keep track of my progress. I was in a fabric store yesterday, for no specific item. I spotted a very cute bundle of fat quarters for a great price. I walked around the store, holding them. Then I gave myself a stern talking-to, and then I left without buying them. The price had been very appealing, but I realized that alone should not be my reason to buy when I have enough fabric to last for years.
Later in the day, I was sewing and actually lost a strip of fabric that I had cut. I sifted through 3 mountains of piled fabric to try to find my single strip - which I did not find. It occurred to me that I was glad I hadn't bought the fat quarter bundle. My sewing room is a mess.
I am going to take a candid picture of my un-cleaned sewing room (just for my sake and not to post) every 30 days. My goal will be to see the piles of fabric diminish as the year goes on. This, I am hoping, will help keep me honest with myself.
