oh, I was feeling guilty a while back because when I was working, it was so much easier to buy fabric then actually stitch it up. I had realized that I had way more fabric than I would ever use so I switched to buying things like thread and backing when I would go to shops with my friends and of course I would order thread when on sale and then get enough so I still got free shipping. Well, I have just about decided I don't need to feel guilty about that anymore and that it was really a wise investment in my future!
