I've been really good this year, but I did fall off the wagon a little bit in the last month. I bought 3 pieces of fleece for backings and 3 pieces of solids on sale, just because, well, they were on sale and my solids stash is a little low. I won a ten dollar gift certificate from FabShopHop and to buy any fabric from that particular store would have been way more than the gift certificate so I bought the Barbados bag pattern. Making a purse has been on my bucket list for a while. I'm a little intimidated by it, never made a purse before. I have plenty of fabric in the stash to make it, but I did have to buy two kinds of interfacing, zippers and purse hardware. Does that count as falling as well?
It hasn't bothered me too much to avoid buying until just here lately and I'm itching to add some batiks to the stash something awful. Of course, I keep finding some good sales that exacerbate that itch even more. I must be strong, I must be strong.
If anyone has any experience with the bag pattern, I'd appreciate your insight, tips or tricks. Thanks.
