Just wondering -

Do any of you buy ONLY enough fabric to complete a project ?

And have that project finished BEFORE getting any more fabric?

I have heard that some people actually do this.

But I don't know any of them.

If I operated like that, I would certainly have more available space in our house! AND a lot less money tied up in fabric!

I feel sorry for folks like that - they miss all the bargains and limit their imaginations. Some of the best quilts don't come from pattern books.

I only buy for one project, only work on only one project, but I never have room in my sewing room.

It is called a limited income.

Wanna see my stash and then form your answer? lol

But, I do understand those that are on a limited income and only buy for what they are making. I'm sure hubby would LOVE it if I did that.

I feel that way, too :D .

I think we all understand living within a budget, but this is how I spend my fun money.

Terri, my husband would agree with your husband.

I used to buy fabric that way, and then Hancocks went out of buisness in a neighboring city, now I have so much I'd probably never have to buy fabric for another project :mrgreen: Just the other day I bought some more at a garage sale and have no clue about what I'm going to make with it---LOL
