Fabric? What fabric? Oh, that's just a little pile of old stuff. And a few tubs of....things...I might need them some time. When the kids left home I just jammed a few handfulls of material in all the drawers of all the dressers that DH didn't fill with model railroad cars. What did I buy? Who, me? Just a bit of this and that. Hey, look what I made out of some old stuff I found in the bottom of the closet.
Accountability? Maybe keep a little book like the Weight Watchers points report? Spreadsheets and graphs? Hah! Not on your life.

I don't want an inventory. That way, when I find something cool, that I'd forgotten about, it's like found fabric. No accountabiity here! LOL

My DD is an accountant and I DO NOT allow her in my sewing studio. The closest I come to keeping track of my in-flow and out-flow is when I see an empty spot on the shelves, I know it is time to go shopping to fill it up again. I enjoy the ability to shop my stash when doing a project, and not having to comb my hair and gas up the car.

I thought the original idea was fabric in, fabric out, not the money aspect. And I like THAT idea. I've joined the 2013 fabric moratorium here on the board and that's the only way I will justify any purchases. If some comes in, then a finished project has to go out.
