If I am going to sneak some fabric into the house, I make sure I sneak a good amount in. hehe Really, there are many reasons. Who am I to wonder except, do I really need that fabric? Yep, out of my way girls, there is fabric to buy and projects to make.
|
Thankfully, I only buy for the project I'm going to work on. I too could not stand all that fabric around. Right now i have $100.00 in vouchers for a LQS. I went thru the store 2 times and still can't find any thing to buy, cause I don't know what I am going to make. I think it is such a waste of money, letting all that fabric sit around, just to look at.

But... what do the rest of you think? Is it just me?

Fabric can be a fleeting passion. I tend to fall in love with a print, buy enough for my project and then some so I'll have plenty, then fall out of love with it and not use it at all.
It's not ALWAYS like that, but sometimes. I also inherited my mother's stash of HIDEOUS fabric which I sold off on ebay. |
Very interesting how people have gotten material, a lot of good stories. Fabric is to pretty and you can be so creative with it, a perfect medium for art.

Ohhhh, Jacqui, can I come shop at your place?
On top of my fabric purchases I have a very dear friend who works at a department store that sells custom draperies... that translates into fabric swatch books! She saves the outdated ones that are 100% cotton. Perfect for all sorts of things to sew. :D I love it. 'Course, that adds to my fabric collection, big time. |

I decided to really stock up when I knew I was going to retire, because I wouldnt be able to buy at todays prices.
Now I have been told I have a terminal disorder, and probably wont get to use half the fabric. Guess we cant win them all. |
